We came about the restaurant on accident. We were headed to a different restaurant when we walked by and thought we would try it out. It was busy when we walked in but we were given attention right away. We had a great waitress and felt very comfortable from the start. This is something we look for in neighborhood restaurants even though we dont frequent them much. We ordered a few cocktails thr...
Great place to go for drinks and appetizers after work!
I have met the owner of this place and they are very nice. I'm not huge on seafood but their food is exceptional. It is a very comfortable place and great service.
We ate there January 2009, and it was less than adequate. The ribs were "reheated" from the night before, the seafood was "old, grey and certainly not fresh." The wine list was so overpriced that we opted for iced tea instead.....we should have gotten a clue when we walked in at 12noon to an EMPTY restaurant. The fireplace was nice but certainly not worth "$60- for- two -nice !" You're better off...
This restaurant is in such a great neighborhood. Even better - the food is to die for. I've had the Ahi Tuna Salad, the whole crabs, the lobster rolls, etc. Everything has been fantastic every time I've come. This is a great place to bring a bunch of friends on a Friday night and just relax, eat and drink.
I have been to this place twice so far.
Both times the food was awesome, the seating was prompt (surprising for how busy they are usually),
the waiter and waitress were both fantastic, the food was brought out very fast, and it was a cozy layed back environment.
I absolutely loved each visit to this place!
There were only two downsides.
The first, we ordered two entree's and one appetizer, ...
After hearing that Hemingway's changed over to Max Gill & Grill, I decided to bring a few people there to try it out. The atmosphere is a bit similar to Hemingway's (very Floridian and a bit upscale), but the menu is much better! We had king crab, swordfish, raw 'Asian' oysters (to die for), fish and chips, cioppino, and more! Everything was great! The waiter was very cool and comped us a dri...
Our family went to Max Gill and Grill for the Mother's Day brunch, and were very disappointed. The food looked like it had been prepared and put in the chaffing dishes the night before and cooked way beyond the point of being fresh or appealing. Some of the seafood on the buffet smelled very bad. The one good thing on the buffet was the ceviche. Almost all of the other items were barely edibl...
We went to Max Gill & Grill as part of Denver Restaurant Week for the $52.80/couple menu. We had 8 in our party and arrived at 6 pm on Sunday. We were immediately told that they were "out" of ribs and no substitution was offered (at least not one that would fall within the $52.80 per couple price range). As the $52.80 menu was heavy on seafood, there really was only one other choice for those in ...
I have been 4 or 5 times now because I live so close and the atmosphere is very good. We hoped that the change from Hemingway's and with the owner from Wash Park Grille getting involved, this place would get better but thats not the case. Instead we got increased prices with the same quality of food. A large menu with no stand outs and not one thing my friends or I have tried that makes you th...
I was here once for happy hour and was disappointed.
The wine is a good deal at 3 bucks, but the appetizers for half price were at best, average.
The steamed littlenecks were in a bland broth and way overcooked. The chips with the guacamole and trout dip was good, but the trout dip was lacking in fish and heavily laden with cream cheese. My friends liked the oysters at .75 cents each.
Our se...
We had a great time at Max Gill and Grill. The Pomegranate Mojito and crab legs were fabulous. There was a nice price range of options and the bar scene looked fun as well with a DJ setting up in the evening!
What a great addition to the Old South Gaylord Block. We have tried Max Gill and Grill four times now and have yet to be disappointed. We have taken friends and family to enjoy lunch, dinner, and even their weekend brunch featuring a do-it-yourself Bloody Mary Bar with more accoutrements than you could ask for. They feature some of the freshest seafood in Denver, including a raw oyster bar, as we...
We went to Max's last weekend with a party of 8. We did not make reservations as it was a last minute idea. We were welcomed promptly by the management and hostess. They assured us that they could accomodate us within a short period. We enjoyed a drink at the bar in their very relaxing atmosphere. When we were seated we ordered several appetizers and were so pleasantly surprised by the prese...
Stopped in to have a drink prior to a reservation at a nearby restaurant. Ended up having both a drink and appetizer due to the wonderful hospitality of Jeff and Greg. We felt very welcome, felt a bit like Norm walking into Cheers. Everyone was friendly, the drinks were poured well as my extra dirty martini had that lovely layer of floating ice...hmmmm. The crab cake stack was incredibly tas...
This is my first posting, but I felt like I needed to write!!! I visited Max Gill and Grill on Friday Jan 29th during happy hour. The resturant was very busy and highly energetic. When I walked in I was informed that it was Happy Hour and then told the special pricing. I was Shocked. They had EXCELLENT drink specials, and where else can I find $.75 oysters!!! For dinner I had the Cioppino(sp?...
I used to enjoy Hemingway's, but this "improvement" is hardly that. The food is overpriced and I've had better tasting fish at Denny's. I suppose the prices reflect the price of the trendy china they serve the food on? My fiance had a chicken dish with a mushroom sauce that tasted like they'd dumped a whole container of salt into a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. My blackened mahi m...
I went to Hemingway's last year and was completely unimpressed by their menu. Everything was fried, and it all tasted like it came from the freezer. I hesitantly went back to the restaurant after the change and was pleasantly surprised. They kept their same relaxing atmosphere, but added culinary excitement. The seafood is flown in fresh, and all the sauces are made from scratch. I have had ...
I really enjoyed this place when it was Hemmingways. I wish they would change the menu and service back to the Hemmingways style.
