A great meal! First time at Max's. Decided to go because the menu looks great and ended up getting special's not on the menu. The atmosphere was great. I loved the interior, with the exposed brick. Very unassuming. You almost pass it. The bar is amazing. I would definite;y go back. Our server was very attentive and polite.

Some of the best seafood I've ever had. I got the everything encrusted salmon and my wife got the surf and turf. Hands down best calamari I've had. Great ambiance and service. We will definitely be going back.

Recently enjoyed a nice family outing at Max's for dinner. Our waitress was prompt, pleasant and took care of all our needs. We had crab cakes, filet, lobster ravioli and the mixed seafood grill. All of our dishes looked great, and everyone really enjoyed their selection. I've dined here before and have enjoyed every selection i have tried.
