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…

microscopic portions
by riman at Citysearch
the food was tasty but in such small quality that we left hungry. It is really too bad because the chef is good and the ingredients fresh
the turbot was half a finger long($ 16), 8 cashew size gnochi at $ 12, 2 scallops ( $ 15) etc..
I have never seen this anywhere in los angeles, in France or spain
I would advise the owners to cut the price in half, call their restaurant a wine bar and serve all the dishes as apetizers or double the portion size.
Another solution is to eat first at home or elsewhere and then come and enjoy a glass of wine with hors d'oeuvres
luckily there was a good portuguese bakery 10 yards down with excellent deserts and that saved our night
- Pros: tasty food
- Cons: ridiculously small portions

Great variety of special foods
by gregls at Citysearch
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 at Citysearch
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
