   I was surprised by how thin the bone-in ribeye was. The broccoli rabe was not seasoned well. Service was very slow with respect to refilling water, bringing the wine menu, taking my wine order, bringing the wine. The room was very loud. The tables were heavy and when they were pushed they would stick and then quickly gave way causing a glass to fall over and spill a glass of wine.

   I've eaten several times at Max's Oyster Bar. Primarily, for special occasions. The food never disappoints. This is the first time I've had brunch there. Tried the soup on special. Lobster bisque. A rather large bowl was served of this lovely concoction. It was flavorful, rich and very filling!! Couldn't finish it all! Had the eggs benedict, which is a favorite of mine. Very good!! All in all, no complaints. Oh! The bloody Mary was Large and also, very good. Can't go wrong eating at Max's!! Worth every penny!

   Dinner was fresh and delicious. The scallops were perfectly cooked. The tuna appetizer that my husband ate was also beautiful to look at and tasted delicious. We both enjoyed the chowder too. Our server was also excellent about answering questions we had on the menu items.

   Max Oyster bar - W. Hartford never disappoints. We had a very friendly waitress who never rushed us once and started with a glass of champagne, which was lovely. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays… Ambience is always warm and inviting. I'm a big fan of their shrimp scampi, the pasta is homemade and so fresh. enjoy!

    Wonderful dinner at max Oyster. Great table, awesome server, delicious food…. but oddly, the noise level increased as the evening went on - music did not need to be turned up at 8!
