    Great service, food was amazing. The presentation of each dish was impeccable, with vibrant colors and artistic arrangements that enhanced the dining experience. The flavors were perfectly balanced, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. Overall, it was a dining experience that exceeded all expectations. And a big thank you to Kirstin for the great service and making my son’s birthday very special.

    A pal & I from Scotland were passing through Fresno fro Yosemite to Monterey, & took a trip to Max’s to find a lively restaurant with great ambience. The food was great & a special shout out for our waitress, Gabby, who thoughtful & considerate, and engaged us in conversation which we thoroughly appreciated. Please pass on the owners of the restaurant.

    So nice to be at a local bistro where the owner visits and remembers you from the time before. The food, the ambience and wonderful wine selection was the perfect day for our birthday lunch.
