On a cold winter evening, dining at Chez Max is the perfect way to relax and enjoy very special cuisine and perfect service in a lovely setting. I ordered the salmon with crab entree and key lime pie for dessert, both of which were superb! The six of us agreed we will be returning soon! Elizabeth

My second time at this amazing restaurant and twice now, it has not disappointed me. A cold Sunday evening makes for a far more relaxing dinning experience and one can’t overlook the half price on bottles of some of the finest wines. I begrudgingly decided to have the farm raised venison from all places, New Zealand and Boy! Was it the best! Oliver, the waiter was terrific and so were the other staff members. The owner was always pleasant. I highly recommend Chez Mex for any occasion. Well worth it.

We have never had a bad experience at Chex Max. We have celebrated so many special occasions at this restaurant! I love the french chalet vibe. The food is always fresh and incredibly good. Brian- the owner makes everyone feel at home. Roland-has been the server extraordinaire for as long as I can remember. Skip-he is an incredible Chef. I could go on and on. Perfect date night, special occasion visit or if you just want a wonderful dinner experience.
