    Our first experience dining at Chez Max the evening of January 5 was excellent in every way: ambiance, food, service…everything to celebrate our 50th anniversary, complete with a glass of “bubbly” after we were seated at the table closest to the fireplace on this extremely cold evening. We are looking forward to returning in the near future!

    Another nice meal at WW...food was not up to standards on this visit. Filet bits very over cooked. As always, a great wine selection and atmosphere lends itself to a nice dining experience...which this was one, not exceptional.

    It had been a while since we dined at Maggiano’s Little Italy Restaurant in Short Pump, VA. I was able to quickly get a reservation on Open Table. We had an excellent server, Angela, who has been working there since 2003. We had an exceptional meal. We had the Italian meat balls appetizer, Caesar salad, Italian salad and both had chicken parmigiana. We have never had chicken so moist that we could cut it with a fork and the sauce was delicious!! We enjoyed a bottle of the Borrigiano, Super Tuscan. Highly recommend dining at this restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
