Food was excellent in all ways, taste, presentation, and in the way the flavors came together. Service thoughtful, timely, responsive. Wine list excellent. The owner's commitment to the highest standards continue to be evident. The menu is well conceived, wine list complimentary. The space is small, intimate, well decorated. As I've stated before, after having tried so many places in... more

We dined there less than two weeks ago. Loved the half price wine list Mon-Wed. The dishes were fresh tasting and well prepared. I would definitely recommend it! more

Max's was the best meal I've had in many weeks of eating out on the road. The portions were sensible, and not at all the sorts of dishes that could be wolfed down in a bite or two the way a less satisfied eater mentioned in a another review. Sensible size plates are always a treat anymore in these days... more

I'm not sure what some other reviewers are talking about when they knock this place, but my wife and I join the majority in saying this is a great place to have a very fine meal. It might also be something of a hidden gem as our butler at the Hotel Santa Fe had never even heard of it and... more

My wife and I had dinner at Max's on our first evening of a recent trip to Santa Fe, based on proximity to our hotel and the favorable reviews on Trip Advisor - and while we subsequently ate at some other better known and higher profile restaurants around the Plaza, the dinner at Max's was by far the best meal... more

After reading all the hype on this sight I couldn’t wait to try this restaurant. I could not have been more disappointed. The first thing we were hit with as we entered the main dining area was walls covered with gay porn artwork. Paintings of naked women kissing, other paintings of women showing all that they have, and wall sculptures... more

Lived in Santa Fe two years and never made to Max's - a real mistake. Great food in this small, tucked away restaurant. Very reasonable compared to other restaurants of similar quality. Definitely a keeper. more

Max's was tricky to find, but worth the effort. Although we were made to feel awkward about not having a reservation (at 5pm when the restaurant was completely empty), we did not let this ruin our enjoyment. The service was fine, but the food was great. The outdoor seating was limited and did not look very comfortable. more
