Max's Italian Bistro

Just found Max's this weekend and what a gem of a restaurant; small, intimate, romantic with fabulous food. I almost licked the plate of my steak, the best I have ever had, with porcini mushrooms and the calamari to start was just divine. Great wines and very efficient, friendly service - we will definitely go back. Thank you for a great, unhurried and relaxed evening.

I'm sorry - but I felt the food there is massively overpriced. Italian food shouldn't be about £9 for a starter, £20 for a main course; don't get me wrong, there's no fault with the food - very tasty - but it did not blow us away. Despite the excellent service there is nothing making us want to go back, which I think is the crucial factor. There are a few other Italian restaurants in close vicinity, offering the same food at half the price. We spent almost £100 on a fairly good meal of two starters, two mains, one dessert and a bottle of wine - that simply can't happen. If you're charging that amount you need to be blown away - we were not.
