Sardines in food good, sardines in dining room bad... 4/8/2008

Oh Max. Hadn't been for 2 or 3 years, but used to go quite often. I hate to be a broken record with many other reviews here, but I brought a lanky 6"" 2' friend midweek to a half empty restaraunt, and was seated in literally the smallest, most cramped table in a dark corner next to a couple who looked ready to propose. So we reseated ourselves to an equally small table with a bit more room. We were told that it was a three person table because a chair was stuck surreally into a already tight walking space. Now listen, if a resteraunt needs to squeeze every dime out of its busy nights, then that's a choice they make, and I'll deal. But the concept of actually having happy return customers is also something to consider, I'm a sicilian-american whose been to sicily as well as eaten at many cramped hipster dives in my life. And although joints in Italy can be disorganized, unpredictable and at times frustrating, it is NOT an Italian tradition to be inflexible, and not value comfort and conversation. Max is trying to squeeze (literally) every dime possible out of its space, and in the process squeezing out two people who were prepared to drop $100 on food and wine out of a half empty dining room. Molto Stupido. Remember the meat ragu being tasty though... Pros: If the stars align, a good bowl of pasta Cons: More Mussolini than Michelangelo more
