Food was exceptional. Really the best I've had in a long time, and my girlfriend and I like high quality restaurants. The best scallops and grouper we've had since we can remember. Service was spectacular. Ambiance was appropriate, and our table was quiet and romantic. Five stars!

This is our favorite restaurant!!! The quality of the food, preparation and presentation is fabulous! The tuna pizza is the best in south Florida. The duck breast is a constant favorite as is the lamb. Cafe Maxx is my benchmark for quality and flavor and all other restaurants fall short. Our friend order the triple tail and said it was the best food he had ever had. We highly recommend Cafe Maxx !
