Editorial Review for Max's Wine Dive – by Andrea Loera
In Short
Concrete floors, exposed brick walls and luxe black leather booths don't scream "dive joint," but neither does the expertly selected wine list or menu dominated by organic and locally grown goods. Crowds of trendy diners vie for tables at dinnertime, sampling menu standouts like the Texas-style chili, Kobe beef burger and king-size "haute dog." And it's not malt liquor but champagne that diners sip with Southern fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and knockout brownie and bread pudding desserts.

I went to this place for the third time and it was as awesome as the last time or even better. The chef is still coming up with great dishes to amaze my palate. The Thai Divers are incredible and the new Rainbow trout is spicy but with great indonesian flavors and it was cooked perfectly. The wine list is getting much better and I enjoyed a great wine wisely recommended by my bartender. Still issues with parking now that Soma is opened but the valet service is great. Maxs still rocks and the food is great, good place to check out the "action". I cant wait to go back..............this weekend i will try their now famous Brunch!

I thought this was a good first date place because it's a little loud (avoid awkward silence) and it has a buzz... I enjoyed that atmosphere a lot more than the food. Though the menu was very limited and my dish was not great... Good for a couple glasses of wine, bad for dinner.
Pros: ambience, wine
Cons: parking, food
