Was best experience and a wonderful intimate steakhouse. Wonderful server and amazing great food! I used to work at Stuart Andersons Black Angus in Ventura, Ca. Was so happy to walk in and see the nostalgia of the great man worked for over 30 years ago!!

Max Dale's catered my sister's wedding, which was held in August, at Stepping Stones. The food was fabulous and the staff were so professional and efficient. The attention to detail was spot on and we so appreciated the traditional place settings. Paul Pickering and his team went way above and beyond our expectations. The set up of all the tables and place settings and take down was seamless thanks to Paul and his staff. Paul Pickering was very supportive and incredibly easy to work with. Thank you again to Max Dale's for a wonderful job!

This place is legendary. The vibe and ambience alone is 5 stars. Like being in a 60's/70's Time Machine. It's one of the oldest restaurants in Washington. The bar are and booths in the restaurant are amazing. The food is like being in a great restaurant in 1976. Service is always charming.

We liked our visit very much but the menu was completely different than what was on YELP and the pricing was about $15.00 more across the board for the entrees. We would go back.

Friends treated me for dinner at Max Dale's for my birthday. It's a cute place inside--lots of wood and beveled glass--you can tell it's been in business for a long time. Interesting history too, which is worth a short read on their website. Loved the drinks. Indigo Sidecar which was a nice blend of empress indigo gin, muddled lemons and citrus liqueur with a sugared rim, and which resulted in its own unique flavor. And the Hummingbird, which was a lovely concoction of sparkling wine with elegant elderflower liqueur with a lovely foaminess on the top. Bartender got it just right as I find that elderflower liqueur can overpower with its own sweetness if overdone. I have almost never met a fry I didn't like--except for waffle fries, which I find too big and heavy. But the blue cheese waffle fries were fantastic! I didn't expect to like them even though I love blue cheese: the blue cheese dressing softened them and made them a delicious conveyor for said cheese! Chili lime prawns were very nice as was the classic Caesar. Dinner portions were generous with very nice accompaniments. I would recommend asking the chef's recommendation for steak-doneness if you are flexible about this. Not a granola person, but I very much enjoyed bites of the Berry Crisp, so that too was a nice surprise. The Brown Butter Cake (lemon curd, port berry sauce, vanilla ice cream, crumbled pecans and fresh blueberries--Ooo!!!) was utterly gorgeous. Our server was the wonderful Danielle who was attentive, informative and very fun. Great place.

This is a great place to come to when you are looking for comfort food, but not in a large shopping mall. A large, roomy restaurant, sort of 1950's, l960's style, you can relax, have a glass of wine or a cocktail and some good seafood or steak entrees. No one bugs you in your booth. My partner and I split a Caesar salad, some wonderful blue cheese waffle fries (something really different), and chili lime prawn appetizers. The portions on the entrees were quite filling, but our NY strip steak was overdone and a bit tough. However, I wolfed down the garlic mashed potatoes which came with it. For dessert, our hostess Danielle recommended the berry crisp and it proved just the ticket. I understand that the burgers here are pretty good, so will have to return to check them out. Good service

Max Dale's is a great place to unwind. Good food and good beer. We were 7 in our party. With drinks in hand and food ordered we relaxed and talked about the exiting day that would follow. Our waitress was attentive and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Not sure if I'll be around these parts again, but if I am I will definitely pay them another visit.
