I was there with family but…read morethe waitress Jen was friendly, able to answer all our questions, and the delivery of the order was fast. I had a cup of clam chowder and the short rib shepard's pie. I'm rarely satisfied with clam chowder, needing to add a pat of butter, some salt, or the ratios are off. No such worries here, and I had a pleasant cup of creamy chowder with a hearty mix of clams and bite size potatoes. The main course was so savory. Mashed potato topped with a flavorful beef gravy, covering a juicy layer of tender short rib. Underneath, peas, corn, and carrots that had been cooked by the skillet the whole thing is served in. I'd gladly come back and try more of this place's offerings.

A classic Caesar salad never fails, and the fish tacos were quite good as well. Next time, I'm for sure getting the skillet Mac because the bite that was offered to me was just delectable.

We ventured to check out one of the many max restaurants for a special occasion. All I can say is…read moreall the Max establishments know how to do it right. From the start to finish and our server was right on and provided great service. This is my 1st time coming here to this location in the basketball hall of fame area in Springfield. We started out with the jumbo shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and it came with 4 shrimps. They were so yummy & fresh. For my meal I went with the seared scallops and the presentation of my dish was beautiful. The taste was so divine. My friend had the grilled pork chops and he said they were cooked medium and perfect. I went with the pink pony club cocktail which was similar to a martini and it was so delicious. Especially serving it in the sugar rim which was an added touch. Everything was perfect and I will be returning.

Before our appetizers came out, we were brought these tasty cheddar croissants with honey butter. That there set the tone for the rest of the meal. French onion soup was spot on. Perfect temperature that was not overly hot where a moment on the table is all it needed. Grandparents had single party burgers. They looked delicious and medium rare as they should be. My pork chop was not over cooked and has a great bite to it. Was a display for sure with all the garnishes on too. The side dish that came with it was yummy. Don't remember what was in it but I ate most of it before even touching the pork chop. No dessert for once. We were all stuffed! Much better experience than my first one.

We'd heard that things had changed over the years but we went with friends who wanted to give it a try because we had so enjoyed it in the past. It was not a good experience in any way. Not one thing any of us ordered was good. No one finished their meal. Service was on the surly side...a request for a water refill brought an eye roll. The only thing that's the same about the place from my previous review is that it's still unbelievably noisy.

The menu has variety but is not big, maybe half a dozen choices for each course. There was a great wine list (again not pages long but good quality without over the top prices) and also a list of house cocktails. We had a beet salad, French onion soup, chicken Gorgonzola pasta and a roasted pear and spinach salad with grilled salmon. Beet salad was warm with marinated goat cheese balls. Soup was rich and earthy without being overly greasy. It warmed me through after a cold day in the expo center. The pasta dish was savory and creamy from the Gorgonzola and also had a touch of sweetness from butternut squash. The pears on the salad were fresh roasted and warm. They were aldente which was a great texture contrast to the spinach and pecans and salmon. Salmon was cooked perfectly to medium rare. So glad we finally found a small place with great food in Springfield. Extra plus it's not in a high traffic area to easy to get to!!

The service was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was very clean and presentable. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for us. The complimentary banana bread was okay, and we tried the frittata and omelette--both were fine but nothing memorable. Our drinks tasted good but didn't seem to have much alcohol in them. I truly appreciate how kind the staff was, but overall, the food and drinks didn't live up to my expectations.

We shared a bottle of (the cheapest) red wine and it was delicious. To start, we got the mussels which were served in a flavorful butter. For entrees, we both ordered steak. They came with salad (which was overdressed), and we ordered 3 à la carte sides. The sides were affordable, yet big portions. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection and tasted incredible. The mac & cheese, and mushroom risotto were to die for. We also got the brussel sprouts to add a vegetable and those were cooked wonderfully, too. The restaurant was dimly lit, and felt very intimate and comfortable.

The food was really good. We haven't really found a lot of good restaurants out here in mid- Mass so this one is probably the best so far. When I called the order in, the person was friendly and accurate. She also took the time to ask the kitchen how long the order would take to make. 25 minutes. That's not bad considering anything out this way is a bit of a drive in comparison to where we live. So hats off the Russo's. We will be back!

The scallops smelled like ammonia…read more Just got back from dinner at Russo's Lakeside in Palmer. I ordered the fried seafood combo. According to the internet, when I searched to see if they were safe to eat, it says "No -- throw them out. The ammonia smell is a clear sign of spoilage, and eating them puts you at risk of foodborne illness (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, etc.). Even if they were fried and look/taste okay otherwise, the decomposition has already started." The rest of the meal was "ok" but when I brought the potentially spoiled scallops to the attention of my server, she discussed it with her boss. The boss said they comp me a beer I had drank. Now, I don't own a restaurant, but I would assume that those scallops were a much larger portion of my bill than the draft beer. I mentioned that to the server and she went back to the boss lady, only to come back and offer a $10 discount. Perhaps if the boss lady would have come out and talked to me about it, I would have been ok with that but she stayed in her office because she was "very busy". This is when I started to get annoyed. I could hear them talking on the other side of the wall and mentioned to the server that I was really surprised she didn't come out to talk to me about this problem. She reiterated that the boss lady was very busy. However, the server wasn't able to apply the $10 discount so boss lady had to come out and do it. To add insult to injury, the woman completely ignored me as she stood about a foot or so in front of me. I had to ask her if she was the manager or the owner and her reply was just "I'm married to him." Then began telling me that the scallops my wife had were from the "same batch". I had smelled those scallops and they did smell fine but that doesn't mean there wasn't a problem with the ones in my order. I said I was surprised she didn't come out to talk to me and she just said "it's been a very long day!" I replied with "You serve FOOD to customers." Then she just threw her hands up and walked away. I wasn't rude, didn't raise my voice and was still disrespected as a customer. First time there, and will never return not do I recommend anyone else does. Hopefully I don't get sick from eating there.
