What a great steakhouse in the middle of hartford. The filet, the wedge salad and pan seared halibut were my favorite. The ambiance was full of energy and the staff were all extremely helpful. There is free valet out front (tip not included) and the pricing was market value. I really enjoyed my meal and my evening.

Doing a review on Max downtown. It was amazing all the way to disturbing. But anyways, fortunately our server was Brett. I'll tell you he just was the 10 out of 10 for sure. He suggestions were great from starter's, main course and desserts and also coffee. Very good, we went on his suggestion. One was the Pan-roasted halibut, and another one was the prime ribeye spinalis. Also, we had tuna tar tar for an appetizer, and all the the sides were great. Banana pudding (notice empty plate lol) was great cherry's cristada was awesome and again. Brett was just class act we were fortunate to be placed in the bar area.

My son and daughter-in-law love Max downtown and they indulged me in a birthday dinner this evening, Right from the start our server, Eddie made sure we were filled on in every detail of that menu as he answered the questions and served us impeccably! I must say my birthday dinner was delicious from the hors d’oeuvres right to my main course which the chef was kind enough to honor my request for PN seared scallops, and they serve them with roasted brussels sprouts which I must say were the best I’ve ever had! The ultimate surprise was when Eddie brought over some crème brûlée with a happy birthday candle as I said I can’t say enough about this server. If I go back, I will definitely be requesting him! A word for the management and your marketing crew somehow you need to get across whe

My family and I went to Max Downtown for my Moms Retirement party. My family has quite a few allergies and we were met with amazing accommodations! Our food came out absolutely amazing. We had the best experience and owe a great deal of it to Courtney, the best server any of us have ever met! She was not only on top of everything but was funny and became a part of our family! Thank you Courtney for making it a night we will never forget 💕
