- SShonHawaii •2 reviews5.0Dined todayI and 2 friends went to Max's to celebrate Christmas together. I had the prime rib special! It was by far the best prime rib I have ever had! Cooked perfectly with lots of flavor and paired perfectly with asparagus and buttery mashed potatoes. A friend had the meatloaf which was also outstanding! And the other had the spare rib stroganoff which was also delicious! We finished off with toffee bread pudding, vanilla bean ice cream and coffee. Service was great and attentive!More infoMax's Bistro & BarPrice: Moderate• Bistro• Fresno•4.8
- MMegSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOverall fine experience with lovely folks hosting and waiting tables who gave us plenty of room for conversation without anyone too close. Cal's service was spot on despite the fact that he was quite busy, and we loved having attention from Rita, the host. Please let Rainbird know about their great staff. The food was exactly what we wanted and was prepared with obvious care.More infoRainbirdPrice: Expensive• Californian• Merced•4.8
