I arranged a dinner and wine tasting for 35 people at this restaurant for a conference. Max helped me out a great deal before the event deciding on menus, etc. We went with a tapas/appetizers night instead of the traditional sit down dinner. He was able to give us WAY TOO much food! We also did wine tasting which I thought turned out to be very nice. Was the evening perfect - of course not - but it was very close. Almost all of the food was prepared and served quickly and while still hot (if they were hot appetizers). Max was very helpful with wine selections when he got a chance to speak with you. The bartender was also very friendly. Only one compliant, one female waitress was a bit short with 2 guests but other than that, I had a fabulous evening. I had many compliments on it the next day from attendees. I would go again with just my husband to be able to enjoy it without being the party planner!
