I have been to Max's Oyster bar twice to eat and once just to have drinks at the bar.  When you go there you will feel like you are in New York City.  The atmosphere and the décor of the restaurant is like no other I have been to in CT.  The bar is also one of the most beautiful I have seen.  As you would expect, the quality of the foods and drinks are exceptional.  This Max's specialized mostly in seafood and shellfish, although there is a limited selection of meat.  If this cuisine is not your preference, at least have a drink at the bar.  It is quite an experience!
