My favorite French restaurant in Richmond/Charlottesville area. Troy and Brian are wonderful. The escargot and venison are my faves but everything here is delightful and delicious. Can’t recommend anywhere more highly in the area. I always look forward to my next visit.

Well thought out menu, a good selection of entrees. I would give a five stars for the Lamb Chops, it was the best that I ever had. I thought they could made more effort on plating, salads and entrees could use a better presentation. It really didn’t matter too much as long as the food is food. I was really excited to try the Avocado & Brie Salad (sliced hass avocado lightly dressed and topped with broiled brie cheese and dried cranberries. Tossed in our house vinaigrette.) I was very disappointed with the salad, to say the least. Brie was dried and cold. Avocado and Brie were paired on a piece toast, all three did not go well together when it was cold. I could barely taste the dressing, salad was very bland. We loved the Tuna Tartare! The presentation, flavor, and freshness made this dish a perfect appetizer. The ahi tuna was very good quality tuna, combined with olive oil, lemon, caper, and shallot; each bite melted in my mouth with a satisfying smile. I normally rate five stars for restaurants with decent food, but felt that the standards should be higher for the fine dining restaurant. Service can be improved. We waited over 20 minutes (or could be longer) for our salads after quickly devoured the Tuna Tartare. Also waited quite awhile with dirty plates sitting in front of us before Ryan stopped by our table again. We watched the hostess cleaned and changed five table cloth around us. I might sound negative, but we really did have a great experience. Really enjoyed our dinner, other than the salad. Chez Max is a great restaurant, I can see ourselves become a regular here. I am certain every entree will exceed your expectations.
Every meal we have ever had at Chez Max has always been fantastic! This is a super great place to have a romantic dinner. There is a cozy fireplace, low lighting, and candles. The servers and the owner Brian go above and beyond to make each meal memorable. The restaurant is themed to be a French chalet that has been broken up into intimate rooms.
I'm having a hard time with this review, fundamentally this restaurant is all about the food. This restaurant is quite established it's been there forever. I went there with a party of six and it was a real issue seating us together, the tables are just simply too small. We ordered for appetizers for the table and between that and our dinner it was roughly $650 with wone and cocktails. Cocktails will run you $9 to $14 a piece and they have quite an extensive selection of wine. I found the food to be good quality and presentation was on point for this type of restaurant. The service was decent.

We had a lovely early dinner before going to the altria to see Hamilton. The fresh baguette was wonderful. We also tried the Duck a L’orange, the seafood crepes and the special salmon topped with crab and buerre blanc sauce. All delicious. The wait staff was very helpful and the attentive. We definitely see why this is a local favorite!
I have to post about the lovely dinner we had last night! The food was excellent as always. Thank you, Brian Moore, for saving my sanity (we have been without power since Monday). Roland was attentive and knowledgeable. Keep up the good work, you guys! Always spot on!
The food and service are top notch. Don't go here for a new and trendy experience, but for what has defined the term "fine dining". Places like this are rare these days. Our meals and desserts were absolutely perfect. With amazing flavor, and solid presentation. I have seen many a meal ruined in the pursuit of unbelievable presentation. The presentation is honest and noteworthy without taking away from the quality.
It is a great restaurant for many reasons, all of which actually have to do with enjoying a meal.
The staff is focused on your service always being effective, not the quantity of attention you are receiving. The lighting is ample, not too bright, but also bright enough that you get to clearly see the meal prepared for you. Music is tasteful and appropriate, but never a distraction. And the entire place is clean. No corner, picture frame, air vent, or light fixture is caked with dust or debris. It's clear there is continual effort to maintain all the details.
Brian and the team always do a phenomenal job. We’ve been there many times but last night we tried the bar menu and it was off the charts. The French dip and the burger were amazing so whether you’re fine dining or going in for a light bite This was a fantastic evening! We look forward to doing it again soon
As my experience had been lately, not impressive from the outside but inside we were met with excellent service and an authentic menu. One photo is the Halibut and another Sole. Recommend both!
Wonderful! The food was amazing! Our server, Alina, was awesome! Definitely will come again
