If I Could Go Here Every Day and Not Get Fat...... :)

by margie1973 at Citysearch

I first went to Max Brenner's in Israel. I think I had so many sweets that I thought I was going to throwup! The plan was to eat lunch there and then go to the beach- that changed quickly when I realized I would probably be harpooned upon setting foot onto the sand!

When I got home from Israel, I immediately looked on the Max Brenner's website to find out what other locations they had. I was so happy when I found that they had restaurants in NY!!! Needless to say, I've been to them multiple times since then!

My favorite dessert, which they have since done away with, was called the Chocolate Mess. Like it's title suggests, it's a mess of chocolate cake, icecream, whipped cream, sprinkles, little pieces of chocolate, etc, etc.

Their chocolate is amazing and I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone! I'm sure kids would get a kick out of the place (pipes over your head with chocolate, big mixers with melted chocolate, huge chocolate bars everywhere!)

• Pros: Amazing Desserts, Decent Food
• Cons: Loud, Busy, Expensive

Still better chocolate places in the city

by lindsayalix at Citysearch

I heard a lot about Max Brenners so I decided to go, but I didnt think it was as good as personal favorite, my Chocolate Bar... still the best chocolate and desserts in town!!

Alison Nelson reopened her West Village location just steps away from her pioneering original

Great food+incredible desserts=one heck of a night.

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

You come in expecting a great meal, atmosphere, and service, and, you get it. The presentation of each item on the menu makes you not want to mess up its display. Pretty fair prices, but all worth it at the end. A great place to take a date or a bunch of friends.

Delicious dessert destination!

by sharopooks at Citysearch

So it?s crowded & there?s a wait here (20 mins on weekend evening) but it?s so worthwhile for chocolate-lovers to visit for the pure emphasis on all things CHOCOLATE! My husband & I split a salad (very good but not exceptionally notable or anything like that), then we had the chocolate fondue for 2 ? you get your choice of milk, dark or white chocolate (we got dark & milk), plus they give you caramel sauce, assorted dippables (marshmallows, banana bread & fruit) & a little thing to toast your marshmallows. It was so fun to do & so delectably tasty!! I could?ve easily used more stuff to dip (probably a good idea that we ran outta stuff to dip when we did, it gave me a cut-off point, LOL). Be careful if you order a hot tea, as the cups don?t get hot outside ? which is better for gripping but that doesn?t give you an idea of how hot one?s beverages really are (I burned my tongue). Service was very nice & accommodating. Most of the tables are far away from the mobbed doorway, which helps you to focus on your escape into chocolate bliss! I?m looking forward to trying more stuff here but the fondue was so awesome that I?m not sure I could order something else here for a while?!

• Pros: CHOCOLATE!!! Accomodating staff, wide selection
• Cons: Not-surprising wait/crowds, wide selection (hard to choose what to order LOL)

Thumbs Up by the Chocoholic!

by ReineNY at Citysearch

Yeah, there might be lots of tourists. But we don't care. As chocolate lovers we could not resist.

We had appetizers and had dessert for our main course. So don't fill up too much on the food, save

your appetite for what they do best - CHOCOLATE! I am taking my sister (just recently moved to NY) and her family to dinner here tomorrow.

Although the seating may be tight, and it could get pretty loud, the service was great and the dessert was out of this world. Love the tea fusion gadget and the egg shaped cup for the hot cocoa. Bravo!

We will definitely be back and will bring relatives, friends and turn others on to this great resteraunt.

• Pros: DESSERTS
• Cons: Some of the menu items were just okay

Best place for every chocolate lover

by chocolover9908 at Citysearch

I first went there with a few friends. it was suggested by one of my friends and he said, " you would Looove it!" and when i first entered, I felt like a kid again with the chocolate that was being made in the barrels, the little chocolate shop they had and the huge tubes up towards the ceiling with so called "chocolate" flowing through it. I ordered a wonderful warm waffle dish served with two 1 scoops milk chocolate and Vanilla of my choice, a Chocolate shot and little chocolate wafer - like pearls and a classic Shake. Everything was Delicious. This Place is Absolutely Perfect for Every Chocolate Lover.

Great desserts.

by katiekins56 at Citysearch

Great deserts, the chocolate soup is my fave. I've only had the veggie burger off their food menu, which was great, but just the smells in this place is enough to go there. Only problem is it's always crowded and the seating is pretty tight. Overall, it's great.

• Pros: Desserts!
• Cons: Seating

Basically...Good desserts, but bad food otherwise

by ny516 at Citysearch

If you love chocolate just as much as Augustus Gloop (the chubby kid in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" kicked out for drinking out of Wonka's chocolate river)...then this is the place for you. It's usually busy and you can expect a wait to be seated, especially on weekends. Food wasn't too good, my pasta dish came out dry and lacked decent flavor; also my friend's burger was way overcooked. The service was also average but I can forgive them for that to some extent because it's a bit hectic in there. For dessert we got hot chocolates, cakes, and cookies and we enjoyed them all. The chocolate is strong but very good, just don't eat way too much of it (laughs).

• Pros: Great desserts
• Cons: Disappointing entrees

good food, poor management

by ad1000 at Citysearch

We were there on Sat night. Great food, BUT... very poor management (Karen, are you reading this). We were told that the seats at the bar were NOT first come first serve?! We had to wait half an hour while there were bar chairs available just because Karen did not know her job. When we asked for the woman's name it turned out that on top of everything she was a manager!!! Make sure if you see a chair at the bar you take it, they are for anyone any time! (Max's dirty little secret) If you chose to go there not only will you wait (they do not take reservations after 8 pm, very smart) which will be ok but you get to wait in the walk way and have nowhere to move and stay out f the way.
