We had a small wedding ceremony at City Hall and after we walked over to Max's. Their manager, Sara was so accommodating - we were blown away by the excellent service, reasonable prices and the beautiful space they set for our reception. Thank you, Max's!!!
I love Max’s. I’ve been going for years. Went last night and had a great dinner with the lovely piano man playing the piano. Not something you see a lot of in San Francisco. They currently have a great Passover menu and a special menu highlighting artichoke and asparagus season. The must haves from their menu are their famous Reuben sandwich, which is massive, and if you’re a tuna melt fan, theirs is one of the best I’ve ever had. My partner had the red wine braised brisket from the Passover menu and it was fantastic. You can also get a bottle of sparkling wine for a pretty affordable price compared to other restaurants.
The staff is always so friendly. I love it here. Menu is huge with a great selection for everyone. Give Max’s a try if you’re in the area!
What an amazing discovery! We had dinner here before going to a show (we’re from out of town). My ruben sandwich was a true experience. It had LOTS of pastrami AND corned beef on fresh grilled rye. My wife’s french dip was also substantial and tasty. There was no room for dessert, so we came back a second day just for that. I recommend bringing friends to share the yumminess. (Tiramisu and Brownie Mud pie)
Great food, nice atmosphere.
It was a bit crowded at 6:30 PM, the service at beginning was a bit slow.
I am sad this time the staff did not sing with the piano.
A charming and casual dining spot. I recently came here for lunch and noticed right away a certain nostalgic vibe about this place. The decor has a throwback feel about it but in a good way. There are a ton of windows that let in great natural light and makes the place feel much larger. The full bar looked like it offered a robust selection of drinks. The service was friendly, prompt and efficient. I had the salmon sandwich with fries. And it was really good. The piece of salmon was a good portion. The bread was excellent! I was here on a weekday eight at about noon and there was no wait at all. The restaurant itself was about 50% full. I’d come back here for sure the next time I’m in the area.
Loved the crab cakes here! They are thick and flavorful. Comes with cabbage and jicama which is refreshing to have after a bite. Also loved the roasted beets salad, it has corn, feta, avocado and candied walnuts. I got it with skirt steak. Wish I had asked for dressing on the side but next time! Overall great food and stay for dessert.
Great place to have drinks before going to the Opera. We really appreciate the great staff and excellent food. Rose the bartender was fun and knowledgeable. They had a huge selection of sandwiches and lots of excellent made desserts. What really sets this place apart is the live music played on a baby grand piano. I give Max's opera cafe five stars.
Solidly good with many nice touches — like a piano player, great ice cream and attentive staff.
We arrived at 5:30 pm on a Friday and within 40 minutes it was very busy. Popular.
Excellent Service, nice environment, live music (piano)
The food was great.
The food was delicious! I ordered a Lamb burger with tzaktiki sauce on the side with potato salad. I over heard that some days they have live piano music 🎹 🎶. Definitely want to come back to see & hear that. Great service on a busy day too.
