text: The Skinny the desserts are okay but the service is terrible for a weekend brunch in a restaurant that is not even full what is a gal got to to do to get some water around here there is an excessive heat wave outside people value the dessert tasting is okay but so not worth the aggrevation nnWe arrived at Max Brenner for a relaxing Saturday brunch Turns out our experience was anything but relaxing nnInitially we were seated promptly by the hostess and waited And waited And waited We sat there with our menus with no one taking a drink order Our waitress shows up and tells us that she will be right with us Afterwards she just disappeared on us again Another long interlude passesnnAt this point I was thinking about chewing on a napkin and wondering if I should just get some water upstairs from the sink in the bathroom nnFinally she shows up and takes our orders Water takes forever to come and so does our orders We stayed at the restaurant for hours for them to make a plate of eggs a burger with fries a waffle and a fried chocolate egg roll Plus there is an excessive heat warning outside and they take forever to refill your water glasses which are surprising tiny their hug mugs hold about as much liquid I think in the two hour time span they got refilled once May I remind you this is while you are eating some incredibly rich foodnnThe real food itself is okay ie the burger and the omelette Nothing earth shatteringnnThe dessert tasting is both overwhelming in richness underwhelming in quality I think in the end the dessert tasting really lacked a good editing eyennTasting includes a belgian waffle with syrup caramelized banana nuts with choice of ice cream and chocolate ganache fried chocolate eggroll with Mexican spices bananas and peanuts two different chocolate bark a bowl of chocolate krispies a fondue set with strawberries bananas and marshmallows and hibachi for roastingnnThe belgian waffle is too overloaded with stuff First you have the syrup nuts and caramelized bananas Then you drown it in ice cream and chocolate ganache The waffle at this point is totally lost in the whole process becoming soggy from all the ingredients It is just too muchnnThe fried eggroll was filled with a chile pepper spiced chocolate with banana and peanuts inside Albeit it was different and interesting the eggroll became soggy from the chocolate insidennMy husband and I found the two chocolate bars and chocolate covered rice krispies supposedly malt balls but I did not taste any malt flavouring to be too sweet in combination with everything else The brownies were okay not great nnThe fondue dark chocolate baby was alright We were wondering about the fire hazard we were going to create because flame kept setting our marshmallows on firennHonestly the dessert tasting is okay would probably share it with instead of because it is really too much for two to handle However factor in all the other things like crappy service I have to say a star review
