    This was my first time at Max Downtown and I’ll definitely be back!! The food was amazing and the service was even better. They were SO accommodating with a gluten sensitivity and even have GF rolls which was a nice surprise :) Our waitress and the manager went above and beyond to make a birthday special. Thank you Max team!

    Crab cocktail - off the menu but available by special request. This is the most incredible delight to snack on while waiting for your entree. Every steak is cooked to perfection - best spinach - mashed potatoes - the freshest wedge (a meal in itself) and the service is consistently first class. We also discovered a new wine Reputation. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.
