What User doesn't like about Max SoHa:
The food was subdued and moderate. The linguine nere part was small and the chicken parm had no taste, it needs season. The bread basket was two small pieces of bread....what?! Not sure how the reviews are so high. View all feedback. What User likes about Max SoHa:
The best breakfast café atmosphere in Upper West Side. Such cozy couches and the food is absolutely delicious. I love Croissant French Toast! It was really amazing! A great place to sit on the window with a book and enjoy yourself. One of my favorites in New York. View all feedback.

Max Soha is a mixed bag, with some customers lamenting the decline in quality and service over the years, while others praising the cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The menu, unchanged since 2001, features top-quality ingredients, although some dishes fall short. The gnocchi is a standout, but the noise level in the dining room can be overwhelming. Overall, Max Soha offers a consistent dining experience with a few bumps along the way. Outdoor seating is available, making it a popular spot for Columbia students to study or relax. The restaurant is cash only, so come prepared.

I had a salad there which was very basic by design but really flavorful with good quality ingredients. Definitely stood out. My friend felt the same way.
