   I love Chez Max and go every time I’m in town. The service is always excellent and friendly. The ribeye steak is so tender you can (and I did) cut it with a butter knife, and the fries are to die for. The only drawback for me was the onion soup, which had a vinegar note I was crazy about and the cheese wasn’t melted on top. Apart from that, I love everything about this restaurant.

   French onion soup was delicious, chicken in the red wine sauce was exceptional. Only thing I wasn’t AS keen on was the chocolate mousse but that’s fine. Really nice ambience

   Overpriced, not authentic french, steak was burn as they cook it in Ireland and the cream brule was the worst I ever had, 40 euros for 3 dishes not worh it for the price. You can eat better in France for this price.

   Chez Max very pleasant, good food. Service during the ordering, food delivery excellent. When core team had left the close up team were charmless, inpatient and left a bit of bad taste to end of evening which was well before midnight and for the money would expect better from the close up team.

   All went well until it was obvious it was time to leave when the staff started banging chairs and tables and making sure we knew it was time to go. If they don’t want people staying after 10.30 pm they shouldn’t take bookings so late.

   I thought it was very expensive for what we had, my choices of goat's cheese and beef bourignon were very nice, but would have liked more than 2 slices of potato and 2 slices carrot with the beef> My friend had a cold fish started which was nice but her main course of salmon & ratatouille didn't come with potatoes or any carbohydrates and the combination of salmon & ratatouille didn't work(ok perhaps she shouldn't have ordered it), ordering a side salad added with the salmon. The gourmand desert was excellent and different. It was very expensive at €35 for 2 courses and €40 or 3 and the cheapest bottle of wine was €32 so we spent €110 for the meal with a tip of €10 it cost €60 each, very expensive! for not a brilliant meal over all. Service was very nice and we sat outside at the back which was very nice too. I had been a few times at lunchtime pre-pandemic and thought it was excellent value for very good food but my experience this time was different

   We paid our first visit to Chez Max and were exited to try it out having heard so many good things from our friends. Unfortunately we left very much underwhelmed as the food was no where near what we were expecting. Our total bill came to €110 and we left feeling like it should have been a quick €40 take away! The portions were small and the Main my wife got was very poor and lacked taste. It was the Olive,Tomato Tarte. It was basically a plate of roasted aubergines and tomatoes and a salad! For 35pp it really was poor! The server said she nothing about wine at the start and then when asked later in the dinner for a recommendation she just brought us the dearest wine on the menu which I thought was cheeky! Nevertheless a very disappointing experience and not sure if we will return sorry!

   We have been dying to try here for ages as it always looks so lovely when we walk by. We had a nice time but were disappointed overall to be honest. We love nicely chilled white wine in good glasses. As they were so busy they didn’t have any wine glasses left so we had to drink it from champagne glasses (I know… 1st world problems) but it wasn’t great. I think they have added way too many tables outside for what they are able to provide a high quality service for as everything was slow and a little impersonal. Probably won’t be returning with all the amazing choices in the city. A pity.

   Really average. We’ve eaten here since it opened and this was a disappointing trip. It is now just a tourist venue with a fixed price menu priced to protect margin. The croutons and cheese were served on the side of the (watery) French onion soup, instead of grilled and melted on top of the soup (too costly in labour terms), the Saint Marcellin melted cheese was served with two pieces of stale bread, not a basket of fresh baguette and not enough to eat with the cheese (Balzac would turn in his grave); the white wine was warm because the staff take the first replacement bottle in the fridge instead of checking for the coldest one. We asked for a cold one and got it next time, though this is basic in an authentic French restaurant. The sirloin steak was tasty but thin and left to become flaccid on the counter before serving, and because it’s so thin, again to reduce portion size and cost, it is slightly grey. It has grill marks but not caramelisation. The fries are good and the house wine is authentically good value. The bill arrived for just drinks so we corrected it to include food (70+ euro extra) because we are honest. However you may find it goes the other way and is not in your favour, so check it. The atmosphere is French kitsch, red gingham tablecloths, wooden tables and lovely staff so it is a shame that it haa become a kind of a Parisian factory in an exceptional Dublin location.

    First time at this restaurant. Only point of criticism is that we were in a very tight corner table but the restaurant is small. I had the goats cheese and fig in filo pastry which was fabulous. My friend had the two poisons which was also delicious but very small. Beef bourginon and duck in orange sauce were beautiful and full of flavour. We both had cafe gourmand for dessert. We chose the house red, a merlot which needed to breath and once it did was very nice. Service was super. Great staff and atmosphere. The bill was 164 and included 4 gin and tonic. Will definitely go back.

    we loved the food but hated the seat- we were a party of three and got fitted into a very tight corner right by the bar. Did request another seat but were refused as all other seats booked later. Also felt quite rushed- everything removed from the table before we were finished our bottle of wine - we felt they wanted us to leave 1hr and 15 mins into the meal and actually asked us to leave at 1 hr 55 mins. Actually a bit uncomfortable experience.

    It took me back to Paris, even the chairs are similar. Lovely to sit outside and people watching. €35 for 2 courses could be steep depending on your choice of dishes. The waiter recommended an excellent bottle of wine. The steak was cooked to order and tasty. Good and friendly service.

    The food was terrible. One of the worst meals I’ve had in Dublin. I had the duck for main course and could not eat it. Not worth the price. We also waited a while for someone to come to us and take out order. Would not eat there again and definitely wolf not recommend.

    Enjoyed lovely food and friendly, helpful service at Chez Max last night. Evening was chilly and we had to move from our original table to one of the booth tables as there was a draught coming in the main door. However the staff accommodated this very flexibly. The menu has lots of choice. Wines are expensive, however. Toilet facilities could do with a facelift. But overall, we would all return to this restaurant.

    Our first dining experience at Chez Max at entrance to Dublin Castle was the most positive and enjoyable one. Each course exceeded expectation, The French Onion Soup had copious amounts of onion and the Beef Bourguignon had 30 pieces of tender beef. A highlight was the friendly and professional service by Thibault, whose advice on wine choices was more than helpful. All the servers were attentive and speedy. We look forward to a return visit soon to this little corner of France.

    Asked for medium well steak, got medium rare. Bizarrely offered free Prosecco then it was taken back alongside soft drink I had ordered, they replaced the latter but no explanation. No one course option available. Very disappointing!

    The meals tasted fine but overall were just adequate as the portions small for the price. Necessary to order vegetable sides to complete the meal. Steak frite was flank steak, again small portion, so you'll need to pay for an upgrade if you want a better grade. The waitstaff was nice but consisted of students, unable to bill correctly - charged for 3 course plan when 2 course plan was ordered on 2 of 6 meal or provide the correct meal - (hopefully unintentional as one had to work too many tables so tip out of kindness not for service or accurate billing) Also 1 steak ordered rare, served medium and though it was still early, they were out of 2 of 6 desserts and 1 starter when we arrived. It is a cute place with average tasting meals but unless you're willing to send back incorrectly prepared meals and go through the hassle of checking the bill, I wouldn't recommend Chez Max.

    I can't say enough good things about Chez Max. We had booked an inside table but didn't realise it would be so hot, so we requested if we might be able to move to an outside table. We didn't want to cause too much of a fuss or mess up any arrangements already made, but the manager was immediately so accommodating and had no problem finding us a spot outside. The food was *incredible* - and honestly not at a totally unreasonable price point. When you dine at a spot with food as high quality as this, you might expect the staff to be a bit snobbish, but this is not the case at Chez Max. Multiple waiters and waitresses helped us, and even stopped by our table for a chat. It brought a lovely warmth and friendliness to the whole experience. If you're looking for a place in the city centre with charm, elegance and amazing food - run, don't walk, to Chez Max!

    It was unfortunately a disappointing experience for us. The quality of the food was not as good as pre-pandemic. We were brought our main course before our starter which added a restaurant led delay of 20 minutes. The steak was good but the chips were soggy and the salad a few leaves of stringy lettuce.
