Here’s my first time dining experience at MAX! last Saturday for a quick pre-concert dinner. We (my sister and I) were pleasantly surprised by not just the food, which was spot on taste, texture and presentation-wise, but the service too! The one hour we had ticked by with the relishing of grilled yabbies and clams in cream & wine for starters, the cod and duck breast for mains and the chocolate souffle and crispy kataifi for desert. YUMMM- especially the yabbies and artichoke combination. We also lapped up most of the cream sauce for the clams. The cod with it’s crispy skin was simply lush while the duck, although a little too gamey to my sister’s liking had a lovely piquant cherry sauce which we simply couldn’t get enough of. The chocolate souffle was simply heavenly – but perfection could’ve been an oozing centre of melty chocolate (but that’s just me).
Now the waiting staff- simply a pleasure to have wait on you. Polite, efficient and timed the courses in anticipation of a leisurely three courses within the hour. What more can a diner ask for? Our only gripe was the buzzing mossies. Can’t wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. My sister, the hard-to-please-seasoned-diner has already earmarked Max! for her list of restaurants to take visiting friends to. Great food, great atmosphere – highly recommended.
