We had a large gathering at Max a Mia and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Our table was set up in a private room which was perfect for us. The room is simple but has a very nice ambience and compliments the restaurant. Rebekah our server was very pleasant, attentive and was always there to fill our glasses before we had to ask. Her dinner suggestions were also spot on, we especially liked the scallop special, ribeye, eggplant lasagna, and ahi tuna. Rebekah also seamlessly addressed the gluten allergy for one of guests. Liz and the entire staff went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional from the delicious food to outstanding service. Don’t hesitate to book your special event here.
Great service! Excellent meal! New location is a bit noisier. I miss the cozier vibe of old location, but the coconut cake will keep me coming!
Everything we had (apps entree and dessert) were excellent. We especially like the proscuitto app with whipped ricotta. Entrees were the rigatoni with guanciale, grilled swordfish limone, and grilled branzino. All were excellent and service was great too. will definitely return to try several other enticing items on the menu. Oh and tiramisu was delicious.
We were dining with a 4-year old, so it helped that we were able to sit in a booth. The noise level was not nearly as loud as when we last dined at a table for 4. The food was fabulous and plentiful. Our server, Taylor, was very attentive and helpful. Everything was presented beautifully and promptly. This new location is lovely. We will definitely return.
So pleased with the “all new” Max A Mia in its new location. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the vibe is fabulous! We've been loyal patrons since it opened over 30 years ago, it has always been one of our davorite restaurants. The food was better than ever. I didn't think there was any room for improvement, but it was outstanding! We can't wait to return!
Food was very average for the price. Server was intent on selling us on an excessive amount of courses and drinks.
New location is unwelcoming, noisy to the point of not being able to hear the person you're dining with and the food is not of the same quality. I wouldn't recommend or return. They ruined a good thing.
The new location is very nice but as loud as the old location! Food and service are still excellent.
Very disappointed. Max's has always been our favorite restaurant, but last night's dining experience wasn't good. Service to get drinks and our meals was very slow. We were put in a side room that was quite noisy. We told the server it was my daughter's birthday and he did nothing to acknowledge it. That's the first time ever in any restaurant that hasn't addressed a birthday meal. We arrived at 6:30 and didn't get out of the restaurant til nearly 9:00 because it took so long for our drinks and meals. Hopefully this was just a glitch because of their new location, but I would be afraid to go on a Friday or Saturday night based on our Monday night visit.
Cavernous dining room, noise level made it difficult to hear each other, food was pedestrian (although focaccia bread was good), and our server was not friendly and seemed stressed. To be fair, her derrière was almost on our table as she was attending to the table next to us. Two different manager types asked us how things were and we were polite. We won't be back.

Restaurant was very busy and very loud, even in our corner table. After taking our wine order, our waitress said she'd be back with water and bread while we decided on dinner. The bread eventually came well after our order went in but we had to request water. Food was very good. My only complaint was that our entrees came out before we had finished our appetizer. I had the sense at that point that they were trying to turn tables over quickly. Many not, as we were not hurried when drinking our coffee. I'll certainly return, but would choose a weeknight rather than a weekend date.
We have been patrons for 34 years! The food and service is excellent as always. Especially appreciated the ahi tuna and swordfish additions. Miss the chopped salad. The noise level is a major negative - difficult to carry on conversations. Probably won't dine as often as in the past especially with guests.
Great atmosphere! New design and location is a absolute masterpiece ! All the food was great, especially the duck casarecce (a unique and delicious pasta) Also chicken Milanese and Tuscan salad with shrimp were superb.
Max a Mia just moved to a new location in town. The decor is lovely. The service was outstanding from the hostess at the front desk to our server, Talia.. For appetizers we started with grilled Spanish octopus and beets with arugula, cheese and hazelnuts. For entrees we had swordfish steak al limone, which came with crispy Parmesan pave, roasted red peppers and salsa verde. The 2nd entree was wood fire grilled branzino fillet, which came with caponata, toasted pine nuts and grilled lemon. The portions were plentiful. For dessert we shared a bocci ball. Food was delicious and we can't wait to go back.
Amazing food, amazing service and amazing ambiance! Love the new location. We will for sure be back often!
