Max's Es-ca - Table reservation

We had a wonderful waiter named Joe. Joe was very friendly, personable and attentive. The food was a huge disappointment. We have been there for dinner many times and enjoyed the food. Tonight this was not the case. There were three of us and we all ordered the Spinach Fettuccini with Grilled Chicken and Asparagus. The minute the plate was set down in front of me I knew it was precooked chicken that comes in a bag. I could tell by the grill marks. It looked like orange grill marks like when you get Perdue precooked chicken strips in a bag. It was completely tasteless. My mother thought the same thing. It was an immediate turn off. Only pieces of the stems of the asparagus spear were used. The sauce was just okay, not delicious like the last time I had it. I do not mind paying a lot of money for a delicious dinner, but for subpar food it feels like I threw money in the garbage. I totally understand with all that is going on in the food industry prices have to increase due to the rise in cost, but the quality of the food should not be compromised. This will be our last visit.

I visited Max's Es-ca about a month ago with a friend, and I couldn't have been happier with the food, service, and atmosphere. I had to change my original reservation due to inclement weather, and the manager (I forget her name) was very accommodating. The food was incredible: the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the burrata mozzarella was exceptional. I ended up staying in the restaurant for a few hours, at which point they gave me and my friend some drinks on the house. This was my first time at this restaurant, and I can already confidently say this is one of my favorite places in Staten Island. I definitely look forward to going back again soon. I highly recommend!!

We have been here for dinner several times. It is the best restaurant on Staten Island! We just held our first party here in the most beautiful outdoor (year round) tent! Beautifully decorated. Phenomenal food, great prices and excellent service! Five stars!
