Max's Oyster Bar

I visit with my wife at least once a year. We'll split the Seafood highrise (a tower of shellfish delights) and finish up with the chocolate filled Beignets . Highly recommended.

Went for brunch ended up enjoying oysters , lobster tail , crab cakes and prosciutto wrapped shrimp . Everything was absolutely fantastic and our waiter was really great! Definitely heading back soon :)

If you're with a group of 7-8 people, definitely get the oyster hi-bar. Fresh and delicious! The flounder is soft and it's lemon zest flourishes the flavor. Honey and milk dessert - a special must try!

Raw bar platters are a very good deal & the variety is excellent; although the platter for 4-6 has only one lobster tail & 4 shrimp . ( great for 3-4, but with more will need more food)

GREAT FOOD!! Very pricey , the wine selection is amazing and you will always leave full and satisfied.

Amazing meal last night. They had Asian style Hebi in the menu with house made fried rise and spicy mustard sauce . Amazing.

Even if the Cobb salad isn’t on the menu, the Chef always whips one for me. And it’s always perfect!

When you order the baked stuffed lobster , it is an actual lobster you have to dismember. Just so you know. DELICIOUS!!!!!

Sit at the bar and ask for Joe! I think he learned a few things from Brian regarding martinis ;-) and also say hi to Chris who opened this place! ;-)

The best. Had a swordfish special and a clam chowder . The paella is v good too

The build your own bloody marys are clutch. Such an awesome thing to have.

The stuffed lobster doesn't get any more amazing that this.

Great service. Really liked the ramen seafood hot pot

The food at Max Restaurant 's is good enough but apparently incapable of temping food. 3 times now I have ordered fish,burger or steak & I order mid rare and it's always attest mid well !!

Try the Chilaquiles Verde With Farm Egg Queso Oaxaca - Smokey taste, like bacon ! Amazing egg !

Excellent menu with fascinating offerings. Seafood paella was great!

Everything was top notch. Really fresh and delicious oysters .

The blackened fish tacos are out of this world, and so cheap on the happy hour menu !

Drinks are expensive but incredibly worth it for their quality and innovative recipes!

Try the Hiramasa Crudo , Foie Gras Powder, Freeze Dried Strawberries , An Shiso - Great with Stone levitation ale

Try the paella and the Cuvée wine

The sockeye salmon is divine. Please get it I promise you won't be disappointed

The oysters are yummy and shucked well , for the most part.

A great happy hour deal , a-buck-a-chuck, oyster deal.

You know a restaurant is amazing when the Brussel Sprout Salad is wonderful.

Happy hour oysters are a great deal but can be hit or miss. The fish tacos are great and an amazing deal.

Try the Chicken Fried Short Ribs , Cheddar Waffle , White Gravy - Soooo good!

Awesome happy hour 4-6pm weekdays + Saturday, 1-6pm Sundays!

Go for the lazy man's lobster . Make sure to say hi to Chris Bonee at the bar . And watch out for Brian's martinis . From Art and Dee Fay

Best happy hour in west hartford. Tuna burger !

Dining with a group? Try the Hi-Rise of Seafood (4-6ppl). I added it as a favorite dish to my menu on http://dishKarma.com Read more

Raw bar - oysters and shrimp .

The food at happy hour is a great deal but you could be waiting awhile for a waitress

everything

Oyster selection is the only reason to come here - best sea food in W.Hart. Everything else is mediocre, wine selection is poor

One of the best happy hours around.

The catch of the day is always great with Brussel sprout hash !

My favorite restaurant in Hartford.

By all means, get the chocolate beignets .

Seafood sky scraper is unreal! So much deliciousness

Happy hour is a must!

One of my all time favorites.

Try the Nick's Baja-Style Fish Tacos - Delish

The paella

This may be the best restaurant in Central Connecticut.

Hendricks martini w tomolives!!!! Only place that has tomolives!

Great Manhattan and oysters !!!

love the apps and the bread and butter with wine of course.

The happy hour menu rocks!

Go sit at the bar for happy hour 4-6 and ask for Joe
