We had a fantastic dinner at Max's Trumbull Kitchen. The menu has a great mix of comfort food with a modern twist. The mac and cheese is a must-try! The service was friendly and quick, and the cocktails were on point. I’ll definitely be bringing my friends here next time.

Much better than our meals there before Max took it over. Impressed with the food and service, the vegetarian menu a plus and they got us to the show on time. We will be back.
The service was excellent. I had the duck leg appetizer and it was overly fried. My steak main entree was excellent. My husbands fish was good but he didn't like the choice of starch. The ambience was nice. We would still go again to try more food options.
Carlos was amazing to our big group of nine. Very attentive, Great food and drinks

Mondays are slow nights for most restaurants. It's the same at Trumbull Kitchen. This makes Monday a great day for dinner out at this gem. The seating is cozy, the food is first rate. Specials are updated regularly. Mondays are our favorite because there is a slower pace generally without sacrificing service.
I dined here on Jan 2, 2026. I was served by Lauren who did an amazing job of recommending items for dinner. Everyone was super attentive and friendly.
We were so disappointed. We have dined her many times and have never experienced issues. First the noise level was high. Second the table we were seated at was not ideal. The worst issue was the fact that our server was likely new and not correctly trained. That is not his fault, it is a management issue. He didn't know the ingredients of the menu items, cleared dishes unevenly sometimes too soon, sometimes too late. Finally the food was not as good as we remember.
I booked the loft experience and the people at the table were taking longer than expected to leave so the hostess gave myself and my sister a complementary glass of Prosecco and allowed us to sit at a high top table while we waited for the table to be cleared and ready for us. We waited about half an hour to 45 minutes but it was New Year's Eve so we were understanding. Once we got up there the food and drinks were delicious and the service was exceptional. One of my favorite restaurants!
Had dinner at Maxs Trumbull Kitchen and honestly it hit the spot. Chill vibe, good portions, and the staff was super friendly.

Started with the spinach and artichoke dip and Maria's guacamole, both solid and flavorful. Our table ordered an arrange of items from the shrimp and avocado salad, the classic angus burger and steak tacos. Burgers and salad were great, the steak tacos not so great, but not awful. Haven't been here in YEARS, but will definitely go back and try again. Only complain, music WAY too loud for the dining room, constantly shouting to speak and be heard at the table.
Whoa! Flavors were way beyond expectation!
Great service from Ricky too!
Recommend the Braised Pork Shank and Crispy Duck Confit!

The service was attentive, but having one bartender and a completely packed restaurant meant our drinks took half an hour. When our food arrived, the vegetables were so saturated with broth the potatoes had disintegrated in it and were completely inedible. The chicken on top was barely salvageable and not even close to worth the price point. We were extremely disappointed with the quality of food, though our server was marvelous and so kind. Unfortunately, the service alone doesn't warrant a return trip. Take your business elsewhere if you're looking for quality food.
Great meal going back to Trumbull Kitchen. Always enjoy their food, drinks and the vibe of the restaurant.
The ricotta toast apprtizer was outstanding. The y were very busy (game night) but our server did a great job making sure we were taken care of. Will definitely return.
