    My wife and I wanted to try a new place. She ordered a peach Bellini and liked it so much she had a second. I ordered a nice Zinfandel and has several glasses. We shared 5 or 6 of the “snacks” and got to sample several layers of their food. Everything we ate was delicious. It was quite enough that we could talk without raising our voices, but there was a constant barrage of interesting music playing. We liked it enough to plan a couples date with some friends for next month!

    Everything was great as normal. I stepped out and tried the steak for brunch. The steak needs more flavor, but the texture was amazing. I was stick with the fried chicken next time until they perfect the seasoning on the steak.

    Max’s has been a staple for me since 2013, and it still never disappoints. If you don’t get anything else, get the fried chicken!! Their wines (I had a Sauvignon Blanc) are really good!
