Bienvenue Chez Max!

Savory aromas drift from the kitchen as one enters the front door, giving a hint of culinary delights to come. The casual and comfortable, yet elegant interior of the restaurant is warm and inviting. A large stone fireplace adorns a corner in the main dining room, casting a soft glow around the room.

We all had seafood choices - tuna tartare is always outstanding, cod perfectly prepared, salmon entree with crab also delicious. Server was Oliver, who was just the right amount of attentive. We really had an excellent evening. It was very busy but we never felt rushed and it wasn't noisy. Will be going back soon!

Or server, Roland, was amazing! He was knowledgable, friendly and very attentive to our needs. We have been to Chez Max before and have always enjoyed ourselves, but this time was absolutely superb! We brought friends that had never been and they were very impressed with the food and service, and we all plan to be back soon! Thank you for a wonderful experience again!

Love Chez Max for food and ambience, with low noise level. Lovely menu, super wine list. Only complaint this time: veal chop not tender. Excellent service as always.
