    We’ve been wanting to try Cafe Maxx for many, many years.(15-20) Experience was absolutely fantastic. Service was exceptional. There were four of us. We started with a beet salad and Caesar. Both were great. For entrees we had the pork chop, shrimp scampi, filet mignon and the tile fish. Everything was melt in your mouth terrific. We Moved onto the key lime pie and the apple tart. More excellence! Can’t wait to go back

    I was excited to return to Cafe Maxx after several years of not being there ( due to distance). It didn’t disappoint! the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable in an elegant way. We like the front room best! The waiter was attentive and professional and made the experience even better. Needless to say, my lamb chops were well seasoned, cooked as I wanted them and delicious. The others at the table enjoyed the same quality of food. A big thumbs up to Cafe Maxx
