    As always the experience was top notch in all ways. And our server, Avery, was superb. Her menu knowledge was excellent. She was conversationally responsive to us and clearly knows how to approach dining guests without interrupting them. A+

    Food was delicious and while pricey, completely worth it. Ash, our server, was phenomenally attentive without being disruptive. We were allowed to take our time, order in waves, and enjoy the view of the waterfall. Cocktails were divine and well-made, and the entrees were generous without being ridiculous. The restaurant catered to our dietary needs without batting an eye, and not one bite was left to carry away.

    Treated like they really wanted you to visit and enjoy yourself. Our waiter, Christian, could not have been more accommodating. The food was delicious, so much so that every bite was pleasant for both of us. Very imaginative preparation and presentation. You go to a place like Max’s on a special occasion hoping to get your money’s worth and we always have. And it seems we always comment the next day how much we enjoyed our night out at Max Fish. The ONLY thing I’d change if I were king: Max Fish always provides delicious rolls/bread in a nice basket, but the tiny pad of butter they provide is rock-hard, unspreadable and not even enough for one person, and we had two people. Would love spreadable butter or olive oil for dipping. Still, that minor irritation is nothing that would keep us from a return visit.
