My wife and I took two friends out for dinner at Max downtown to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Our server, Abel, was as good as they come. Our dinners were perfectly prepared: two shrimp dishes and two simply prepared salmon dishes. Max Downtown has earned its great reputation over a long period of time, a very difficult thing to do in a restaurant business. Everyone including owners, managers, chefs, servers and greeters are all pleasant. All in all, Max Downtown is always at the top of its game.

We have eaten there many times and the food and service has always been fabulous. Their specials are usually great and it’s nice to have a change from the regular menu. We do not normally sit near the front door because it’s a little noisier… We usually sit in the back by the raw bar. if you’re looking for really good fresh food, this is the place to go..
