I don't know if anyone would expect the Opera Cafe at Burlingame to be a fantastic place to eat, but we adore it. The staff is attentive, friendly, and accommodating, and the fare is just excellent. I really wanted some comfort food I can't get anywhere else, and my husband and I were with an elderly friend who eats like a bird, so we also needed a choice of small options. Max's covers all bases so well (we've been here many times before). I had the matzo ball soup and potato lakes, my husband was able to get his French onion soup and a humongous Chinese chicken salad, and our "mom" got the BBQ pork sliders with fries. We all had beautiful drinks and the famous Niagra Falls cake for dessert, while sitting under colorful Christmas lights, listening to the wonderful pianist play selections from Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas". What a great night with family at a superlative restaurant!

My “Go To” dining establishment when I stay near SFO. Excellent food, attentive service, and reasonable prices keep me coming back. I enjoyed the Tuscan kale salad with salmon. Abraham, thank you very much for the beer samples and for taking care of me.

I ordered a Reuben Sandwich. The corned beef which should be pink was brown. That and a drink & tip was $30. I would never go back to this restaurant.

It's always fun to dine at Max's in Burlingame. Food is good. Food presentation could be improved. For example no garnishes on the plate. You used to give out pickles with your patty melt sandwich. But apparently no more. We love the pickles in the past. Also wish you have paper dinner napkins. I think
