In Short – Leaving its white tablecloth past behind, this former high-end dining destination in Sherman Oaks has reopened as a laidback Cal-Asian eatery. Inside the softly lit, coffee-colored dining room, their revised gastropub-style menu starts out with a flurry of diverse appetizers, such as roasted beets, lamb tacos and shrimp firecracker spring rolls. Either fish or meat can be found in all entrees, including apple-smoked baby back ribs, miso-marinated black cod and duck leg confit. Side dishes--sticky rice, gorgonzola gratin potatoes and "The Daily Pickle," an assortment of fresh…

Great variety of special foods

by gregls

Our party of four had an early reservation so the valet wasn't around when we arrived. A bit of a problem on Ventura Blvd., but not insurmountable. Hostess seated us promptly and both she and waiter were friendly and competent. We shared three appetizers. All were good - but the duck rillettes were great. We each had an individual entree, but shared the side dish. Should have ordered two sides, but the entree portion was ample. Lamb was a hit as was my fish. Small, but good wine list. Reasonably priced values on wine list. Waiter gave great recommendations all around. Will definitely return to partake of menu which changes with season and what's fresh in market.

  • Pros: Constantly changing tasting menu
  • Cons: Parking

Fun dinner location

by lottedixon

Five of us met for a late dinner a few weeks ago and were generally pleased. Food was good and the chef's wine selection an excellent complement. The restaurant was a little cramped and we all found the mirrored walls somewhat distracting. Service was excellent although we felt a little rushed towards the end of the night as the place emptied out. Overall, I recommend Max for a fun dinner out with friends or a date.

  • Pros: Wine selection, food

TERRIBLE HOSTESS!!!!

by calgal25

Max has lost its friendly, neighborhood appeal and has turned into a "too cool for school" haughty place where the food takes second string.

The manager is friendly, but the WITCH they have manning the door needs to be taught a lesson in customer service. I was there the other night and saw how she treated a family that had reservations.....she made them wait for over 45 minutes before they walked out because she STILL hadn't seated them, and was incredibly rude to top it all off. My partner thought it smelled a lot like racism. We will not come back to eat her until they remove her!!
