Reviews in Southampton

Lovely Sunday lunch for Father’s Day. Food, value and service were brilliant. A little disappointed with our table. 5 of us dining and we seated on to a table made for 4 to eat. It did seem a little crammed. That is the only criticism. Everything else great.

We had a lovely lunch on a Sunday at Max's, relaxed but attentive service, evocative decor, good atmosphere and exquisite food. Heartily recommended, especially for fitting around a performance at the Mayflower as we did.

5 of us booked in for lunch on this occasion; we're a reasonably regular group. As expected the food and the beer were in good nick. The 'pie of the day' was minced lamb , generous portions.

Max… the wine tasting event was exceptional. Great food, the ravioli was outstanding, well done Gennaro. The wine complemented each course very well. And, what great service your staff were faultless. Looking forward to the next one. Grazie Mille Max and the team.

Great food and atmosphere one of the most interesting pubs in Southampton which also has great live bands on a regular basis some afternoons and evenings.

Great meal before a show. Nothing was too much trouble with changes made to two pasta dishes which came out perfect. Wine and deserts were also great.

We have followed Max from Oxford Street, as we really like the good food and the attention we always receive from all the staff. Nothing is ever to much trouble with Max always catering for our needs Recommended

Such a lovely welcome and attentive service, charming environment, excellent food, clean toilets! Handy for theatre.

We really enjoyed our meal ,sharing a starter of Tuna Carpaccio which was delicious .I had the half Lobster Fettuciniwith white wine chilli and cherry tomato sauce which was amazing .My wife had the squid ink pasta with prawns ,calamari, clams,mussels also delicious . I finished with the Pistacio ice cream profiteroles and fresh strawberries and a double Expresso.The wine we had with our meal was a Fiano recornded by Max,a great choice .Many thanks to Max and his chef a lovely evening,

We booked Max's for 6pm to have the Theatre Menu before an evening performance at the Mayflower at 7.30pm. We decided to have a main course and a desert. Unfortunately the main course took 50 minutes to arrive which meant we did not have enough time to have a desert. From 20 minutes after we had ordered we were continually told the meal would be with us in a few minutes. Although the food was good when it arrived and the staff were apologetic it was not the relaxing start to the evening we had hoped for.

Good food, good service, good atmoshere, and good music, a great place

Visited yesterday prior to matinee at Mayflower Theatre. This was our 3rd visit to Max's, and our waiter welcomed us back, we were impressed that he remembered us! Food was delicious as usual, and the waiter was prompt with our food and beverages. We will be back soon Thank you

Fantastic food, great service! Highly recommending seafood dishes and tiramisu.

lovely food good service, only small thing and personal to myself would of loved some stuffing balls and a choice of cabbage as im not a red cabbage fan but everything was delicious we will be back.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Food lovely. Like home made. Chicken supreme roast, shamrock pie roast and chicken and stuffing pie roast all really good.

Good food and drink. Great live bands in a very friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend the Platform Tavern.
