OK. As many of you know, Houston has some of the best restaurants in the the USA. Every once and a while my husband and I go out and splurge on a good meal. We had driven by Max and Julie's and had wanted to try it out for about a year now, so this weekend we decided to go for it. When we first arrived, we were greeted (if you can call it that) by a pompous, arrogant host who promptly showed us to our table. When we got to our table, he failed to pull out the chair for me and acted very indifferent to us. If it was not for the fact that our waitress was super nice and sweet, I would not return! I ordered lamb chops with fries and a glass of red wine; my husband had the duck with asparagus, some pastry puff, and a glass of wine, of course. For dessert, we both shared a chocolate cake. Now, the food was good but not the best I have ever had, especially for the price. The lamb chop was good, tender, and full of flavor; but the duck was dry and not that tasty. Fries are fries and the chocolate cake was alright, but I prefer it to be a bit more sweet, though. The total bill came out to about $100 with tip, and at that price I would skip their dinners and only go for lunch. Since Houston has so many amazing French restaurants, I would put this one at the bottom of the list.
