    It was a nice calm and uninterrupted time for our party of 4. The food was cooked as requested and served at an appropriate temperature to enjoy.

    We chose Max’s to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary. My wife and I enjoyed a nice quiet lunch together. The highlight of our meal was the complimentary ice cream sundae with the “Happy Anniversary” chocolate. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience.
