The ambiance in this restaurant is very welcoming. The service by Johnny is awesome. The food is very well prepared and delicious.
The food is ALWAYS delicious & generous portions. I have many restaurants in my neighborhood. This is definitely THE BEST! Service was great, 5+ STAR rating. MICHELIN quality.
My ideal night here is eating dinner at the bar with Johnny, the bartender, serving us our food. He gives off such great energy and always remembers our drink orders even if we don't come back for a few months. Special thanks to him for always making my experience here a good one. The food is really good! They have a fairly large menu, so you definitely have options. The tomahawk for 2 was delicious, but sliced a bit too thin in my opinion. I really have never had a bad experience or meal here....It's always been pretty consistent for me. I recommend making a reservation because it's always so crowded.
The Max's Es-Ca experience was really more than I expected! My husband made reservations for my birthday/date night! The parking lot was packed but they have valet! We started with drinks- I had a cucumber mint martini OMG so freaking good and refreshing! Appetizers I had little neck clams on the half shell! So fresh, yum My husband had the burrata salad so good! For entrees we had zuppe de pesce, and I had the pan seared tuna! Everything was expertly prepared! Our waiter Gregory was so sweet and attentive! The service was impeccable and I cannot wait to go back!!!!!
Love this place. Me and my friends were there a few days ago and had a great time. Would definitely go back
Food is always great. The service is top notch and attentive. The ambiance is soothing and enhances the dining experience. You cannot go wrong at Max's Es-Ca.
Great place to dine if you're in Staten Island. Appetizers were varied and plentiful, penne alla vodka was delicious, and the main course was excellent!
This is actually my second review of Max Esca and another 5-STARS for Max whereby the food/service is excellent and the staff is awesome. Our first dining experience was in Thanksgiving 2021, with JAMIE; that, too was amazing. This time I treated my adult son to a Birthday Lunch at Max Esca. It was amazing. GABRIELLE (Gabby) was our server. She was awesome; she checked back with us during the appetizers to ensure we were satisfied. BRIANA, another server, also awesome, approached us during the main course and prior to dessert to explain that she took over for Gabby and wanted to ensure that we were enjoying our meal. Now this is the "plus" that always defines 5-STAR Restaurant's customer courtesy. In essence, Max Exca's reputation precedes them when it comes to super friendly staff and fine dining.
I decided to take my mom out to dinner so we stopped by Max. this place has a great vibe. no music (or so low you cant hear it) but its obeisance is amazing. the bartender and cooks are great. Christina is the best!! she gave us great service and offered her opinion. ill definitely return for lunch
