Exceptional dinner. We placed a few orders throughout the meal and everyone shared so we could all try everything. First time having Flounder sushi and it was wonderful. Dined outside and enjoyed the water view. And our server was high energy and very attentive!

I went to Cafe Maxx for Sunday brunch as it was my birthday. My mom and I both had the eggs Benedict, which was very good and my boyfriend had the BLT Egg sandwich. I had a bloody Mary, which was very tasty. I asked for extra olives, but only got two total. For me it’s all about the garnish! Lol but overall, I would go back again.
