" Had a lovely family dinner here, and overall, everything was quite good. However, while some dishes like the beef wellington and desserts were phenomenal, others fell flat in flavor. The ambiance is nice and comfortable, but it was a bit too loud for my taste during peak hours. Nonetheless, the friendly service made up for a lot of the shortcomings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Max's Es-ca is a gem of a restaurant that never fails to impress! The servers were attentive without being intrusive, and the menu is loaded with delicious options. We ordered a selection of appetizers to share and each one was better than the last. The ambiance enhanced the entire experience, making it a perfect place for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Max's Es-ca is an excellent choice for a fun girls' night out! The selection of cocktails is fabulous, and the atmosphere feels chic yet laid-back. Each of us enjoyed our respective entrees, but I must say that the rack of lamb was exceptionally good! Friendly staff complemented by vibrant surroundings made for a delightful evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed dinner at Max's, but I expected more based on the hype. The pasta was good but not extraordinary, and the service was attentive but not overly impressive. I might visit again but wouldn’t go out of my way for it. It seems to cater well to larger groups, which is a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a food critic, I've visited many Italian restaurants and can confidently say Max's is doing something special. The food here is prepared with care and attention to detail. Our server was knowledgeable and offered fantastic wine pairings for our meals. The only downside I encountered was the noise level; it was quite loud during dinner. Still, I highly recommend this place for its exquisite dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Max's Es-ca was fantastic! The restaurant has a true Italian feel, and we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. We tried several dishes, but the seafood pasta and pappardelle ragu had a depth of flavor that was remarkable. The drinks were also top-notch. I recommend making a reservation, as it can get quite busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for special occasions! The interior is elegantly decorated, and the servers treat you with care and respect. My risotto was creamy and rich, and the dessert selection was a dream. However, I found the portions to be slightly small for the price. Nonetheless, the overall experience makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)
