    We really like this restaurant and the staff is just great. The food, while a lot is served with each dish, I feel it is overdone. Too much going on with each dish. Simple sometimes is better. Thank you. We had a nice evening!
    Cafe MaxxResponded 1 day ago
    Lauren, we value the time you invested in writing this review, and it’s great to hear that you enjoyed your evening with us. We're pleased to know that our staff made a positive impression; however, we appreciate your feedback regarding the complexity of our dishes because simplicity can often enhance the dining experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
