Max's Opera Cafe - Piatti

Spanish Piella was more like jambalaya and it lacked spices but I am from Baton Rouge. Key lime pie was most disappointing.

A good old standby oversized portions of okay food with kind service. Quite convenient post performance, especially with kids in tow.

Always delicious and one of very limited places in SF that has a decent Fettuccine Alfredo... and it's amazing with steak and shrimp added. Visualizza piatti

3 for food. 2 for service unless it’s Christy or Carlos and then it’s a 10. Consistently disappointed in the direction Max’s is going. I wish an owner who cared would step in and right this sinking ship.

Great place to have drinks before going to the Opera. We really appreciate the great staff and excellent food. Rose the bartender was fun and knowledgeable. They had a huge selection of sandwiches and lots of excellent made desserts. What really sets this place apart is the live music played on a baby grand piano. I give Max's opera cafe five stars.

I think it's important to report a bad experience. I made a reservation. I've taken a place. waits for about 10 minutes without being visited by a server. I heard the table beside me saying they'd wait half an hour for their drink order. without server in seized, I just left and sought comtible elsewhere. I could try this point again for a preoper nosh, but this experience made me wonder the management of max’s. Visualizza piatti

Our experience for breakfast/lunch was very positive from start to finish. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and seated promptly. Our server was courteous and attentive. Our coffee was fresh, tasty and hot. The vegetable omelette was full of fresh delicious veggies, the country potatoes well seasoned, and toast had a good substantial consistency. We were thanked several times as we left. We'll be back for the piano and great martinis!

I came here with a couple of friends for a pre-Philharmonic bite and drinks. The draft beers were reasonably priced and quite good. The Grey Goose martini was definitely watered down! The California Chicken Melt and Lamb Burger were decent. The Roast Beef Au Jus (in quotes because it tasted nothing like proper au jus) was awful. There was plenty of it, but plenty of tasteless leather, is still tasteless leather. And the restaurant was not at all crowded, but it was a challenge getting our waiter 's attention the entire time. I had been here pre-pandemic and remember it being much better than it was this time around.

First time visiting Max 's At The Opera and it was an underwhelming experience to say the least. We were attracted to the restaurant because of the large menu, outdoor seating deck, and live piano player. Despite standing in one of the two doorways, where a bulk of the customers and the bar is located, no one attempted to help us. After waiting for 4 minutes, being seen by staff, I had to approach the bar and ask the bartender, who can help? Should we seat ourselves? to which she replied yes, you can sit there (indicating the other side). The customer service was absolutely SUBPAR. To be honest, it was embarrassing! After walking to the other side, a hostess, who seemed disinterested, said,... Visualizza piatti
