Very good Fresh Friendly The restaurant is as good as ever Prices reasonable No specials Wine good Nice martini

Perfect 10. We will going back alot. My cousin is a gourmet chef in Stove Vermont. I know a Perfect 10. Max's is it.

Delicious food! Excellent Service. Live music that was really good. We kept wondering why it was not more packed! Wine by the bottle that was very reasonably priced. Great spot! Take your friends and go!

I have not been here in years so we decided to go here for a Saturday night date. The resturaunt is located in a very historic building in Gloucester City and has great charm. They have their own dedicated parking lot caddy corner from the building. As you walk in, the entrance is in the bar area. It is an old style bar and has woodworking from the early 1900's. The dining room has natural brick walls and it's decorated simply so the ambiance here is excellent. This was the first place I had ever had Thai coconut mussels. I was young back then and hadn't yet opened my eyes to new food experiences or flavors. The waitress then talked me into it. I had been looking for that same flavor I received back then so we started with drinks and the Coconut Thai Mussels. My lovely date ordered the Pomegranate Martini and I had the apple cider Mule. Both were delicious. Her drink was poured table side from the bartender himself (who had to Come into the dining room) I'm sure because he wanted to get a second look at my beautiful date. My drink was brought to me by the teenage boy who was waiting on us, but who can blame the bartender, she did look amazing. Now for the Mussels, they lived up to my memory and expectations. They were an amazing experience of savory, sweet and spicy. The broth itself was worth going there alone. I could have drank it with a spoon..... I think I actually did. We had to order a second helping of bread to soak up that amazing deliciousness. The entrees came out and my date ordered the Steak Theresa, cooked rare in a mushroom Demi glaze with crabmeat, accompanied with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. The mushrooms seemed to be canned, not fresh and the Demi glaze was just okay. My entree was the stuffed flounder with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The flounder was tasty but the filling was just okay. The mashed potatoes were fine, seasoned well, but the vegetables were actually really good. Overall the drinks, appetizer and my date started the night off as a solid 5/5 stars, once the meals came out it dropped it down to a 3.5/ 5. The service was really good and so was the ambiance. If we had just gone for drinks and apps then it would have been a 5 star review. I would go back , but I would order something different next time or completely skip the entrees. My lovely lady loves her some chocolate, but the dessert menu didn't strike her interest so we called it a night.

Great experience for a cousin's birthday dinner. Service was impeccable & food was delicious. We shared a shrimp cocktail & crab dip as appetizers. Both were delicious. The size of the shrimp was amazing! I had the stuffed flounder which was a perfect size portion. The vegetables were cooked as perfectly as the fish. My husband had the seafood special that was over linguine. They provided a large amount of seafood on his entree. Dessert was one of the best cream brûlée I have ever had! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

I dined at Max's after a half marathon that morning. My friend and I were headed to run another half marathon. Max's was en route. I would describe it as a neighborhood joint that feels comfortable yet offers cuisine better than might be expected. I also picked it because my wife and I are watching old episodes of Hart to Hart, and their major domo is named Max. I would recommend this namesake. We made our own surf and turf. I ordered the special, arctic char, which came atop risotto with spinach. My friend ordered steak, two medallions accompanied by mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. We cleaned our plates. I had a bit of leftover risotto, actually. My friend, however, is reliable in following parental instructions to finish all the food served you. We were there early, 5:30, because we were hungry from the exertion. Even though we'd had a calorie laden unhealthy lunch following the race, we were ready to eat again. The place filled up fast. By the time we were leaving, almost all the tables were full. It looked like a good place for a date. I'm guessing many of the other patrons were there for a romantic occasion. The servers were attentive and efficient.

Great service and even better food. The mussels are are a must, best we've ever head. Only thing not impressed with was their drink menu and drinks but the food makes up for that.

This is such a rustic neighborhood eatery that oozes charm! The brickwork inside amidst the woodwork and layout of the restaurant was very eye pleasing. The service was impressive and the staff very accommodating. Our oysters were so fresh, the Roasted Clams, and soups were all well priced and portions were good. Max's can do it all. One had a Chilean Se Bass that was truly awesome, one enjoyed the Freshly Fried Platter and another had one of the best Chicken Parm dinners they've had (from a seafood restaurant)! Deserts and coffee were just as good as the rest of our meals and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
