Max is one the few restaurants you can really rely on to be a great meal with great service - one of our faves. Tonight was my husbands bday and they welcomed him with a bday card, served two chocolate truffles with two glasses of Prosecco and a candle, just perfect! What a special meal.

Fourth time we've eaten here. This time with friends with whom we share an anniversary date. Cocktails were great. Food was very good, well prepared and presented. The Scottish salmon was really good. Could have left off the Japanese mushrooms. Scallops got rave reviews. Service was very attentive and very professional. Prices are on the high side, but whose isn't these days. We'd definitely go back.

Monica was our server and she was outstanding! Three of us done out monthly and we tried New Mill last night and was not disappointed!! I had the Maple Glazed Pork Chop and it’s cooked just right and was the best ever. The other entrees were crab stuffed cod and a home made cavatelli pasta with grilled chicken and those were also excellent. I topped off my meal with a slice of pumpkin cheesecake. Wow! Definitely going back!!
