This is our favorite restaurant!!! The quality of the food, preparation and presentation is fabulous! The tuna pizza is the best in south Florida. The duck breast is a constant favorite as is the lamb. Cafe Maxx is my benchmark for quality and flavor and all other restaurants fall short. Our friend order the triple tail and said it was the best food he had ever had. We highly recommend Cafe Maxx !
