Going in there I felt like I was disturbing the employee by approaching her asking questions about their products. She had a beautiful name and was pleasant to speak with, but I wished she was a bit more proactive with her customer service in the store. I shop local so I don't use the giant online stores but I do expect a level of service. Anyhoo, I purchased a couple items and the other items I was going to purchase, I'm going to get elsewhere. I'd use the store again for little items just as a quick shop to drop into, but otherwise nah.

Y'know: the "I'm cooler than you and you should kiss my ass before giving me your money" vibe. No such vibe at Music Max. I've never felt more welcomed in a place selling musical instruments. The prices are competitive: I recently bought a used Mexican Fender bass at Music Max for less than I could find on Musician's Friend or other online sites, with the added piece of mind that came with knowing that the owner, Al, backs up his sales with service. My son is taking lessons here, and I've recently started bass guitar lessons (old dogs should keep learning new tricks), and every instructor I've met here seems professional and personable. Music Max is an example of a local business putting its best food forward.

Talent + Seating +…read moreOriginality + Production + Environment + Talent in spades, it never ceases to amaze me how much talent is hidden in this Northern California gem. Seating is cozy, comfy, tiered, and has plenty of accessible seating for the other abled. They do so much with such a small area it's commendable. Originality, not only do they put on some of the best classics, masterfully converted to a smaller setting, but plenty of original ideas as well. Production is fantastic! Lighting, stage, set, even the canned music and audio are fantastic, I did experience some technical difficulties during one showing, but the actors and stagehands handled it gracefully. Environment, the atmosphere is professional yet casual enough that you can enjoy it without feeling you require a black tie. Perfect for dates, as even with the smaller tables in the middle section, they have "candlelight", the lounge is always a great place to be, plenty of snacks, even baked goods, and cocktails to die for. The staff are always pleasant, I couldn't be happier. Update: there was a bit of a fire and they're currently using the historic Cascade Theatre for shows for now. The seating there is a bit outdated but absolutely worth it to enjoy the finest the Axiom has to offer.

Fair…read morewarning, I am not super knowledgeable when it comes to theatrical productions but maybe my inexperience is a plus? What I do know is that Axiom is a community gem. The environment is intimate and comfortable with a nice space during intermission. Beer, wine, other drinks, and snacks are available. I loved having a little bistro table during the performance to enjoy my wine. I believe you can also rent the bar/dining room area for events. Last time I checked, I heard they also have connections with good caters. Kinda like a plug and play event space - awesome! I love seeing local talent in action!
