I was "sentenced" for about 6 weeks in Hartford, CT last fall. It ranks in the top 5 worst places I have been sent for work. Max's was just down the street from our office and I was underwhelmed. If this was the best I would hate to see the worst. There was an Au Bon Pain just about a block further. I would go buy soup in the afternoon and reheat at the hotel rather than rack up calories on so-so food. It was the best nice restaurant in town but I was less than impressed.
