| - I should have planned more carefully before coming to Max Brenner's. We showed up about an hour before closing on a week night, and unfortunately weren't as hungry as we probably should have been before attempting to tackle their HUGE portions!!
We were seated quickly and each given three menus to consider... and probably drooled on all three. The options for chocolate lovers are overwhelming and deserve time and consideration before committing to order. Even with our late arrival, we were never rushed to order. At one point our server seemed ready to sit down and join us to discuss all of options we were considering. I wish she would have!
The nights were starting to get a little windy and chilly, so the hot chocolate was perfect in both taste and comfort! I wish it were bigger, but I also realize that if it had been, I wouldn't have been able to eat even the little bit that I did have.
Overall, all of the things we sampled (one appetizer, two entrees and a sundae) were great! Each dish was artfully prepared balancing flavors and textures. The corn croquettes were crunchy and creamy, sweet and spicy - just perfect!
The S'mores Sundae... Wow! We were stuffed when we ordered it, but you can't come to Max Brenner's and not do dessert! We probably should have started with hot chocolate and the sundae and called it a night! The melted marshmellow and chocolate ice cream together was amazing! I'm not a fan of graham crackers, but again, the texture they brought to the sundae was perfect!
You have to go, just order desert first!!
