"I am have been coming here since they first opened in 1984 when I lived in Ft Lauderdale. Now I live in West Delray so don't come here very often. It was my birthday and a friend took me here. Also great food, service, and an outstanding wine list. I chose a Hook of Crook Cellars Old Line Zinfandel Reserve 2015 from Lodi. Only $ 35 and a steal. Started with one of their all time favorite appetizers, Tuna Sashimi Pizza, Wasabi cream cheese, sweet soy, caviar, scallion and spicy mayo . Amazing For mains, I opted for the Guava Pink Peppercorn Glazed Grilled Duck Breasts, Chive cream cheese risotto, green beans, demi glace & plantain chips. I substituted fingerling potatoes for the risotto. Well constructed dish with bold flavors. My friend choose the Shirt steak, excellently prepared. For dessert, we had another house favorite, Deep Dish Bourbon & Chocolate Pecan Pie , served with warm chocolate sauce & ice cream. Super and a great finish. For a memorable evening and outstanding food and service, Cafe Maxx is a must."

"Solid restaurant. First time trying it out not too bad. Good old fashioned for me, martini for her. We started with the caeser salad very good. She had the pork medallions and it was delicious. I had shrimp scampi also delicious. For dessert I had the key lime pie which was good and she had the chocolate cake which was really decadent. All in all solid food and service."

"We had reservations for Thanksgiving at 6:00 but weren’t seated until around 6:20. The tables were so close together and if anyone had mobility issues it was impossible to get through without people getting out of seats to get by. I did let my server know when I ordered my food that I had a food allergy. She did not write it down and when the food was brought out nothing was said about it being for someone with an allergy. I ended up having an allergic reaction to my meal so beware if you have allergies. I emailed cafe maxx about my allergic reaction but did not receive a response. We all loved our dinners. We got 2 desserts. The warm apple tarte did not look as we expected but it was so good. Apparently the key lime pie was very small but good."

"I went here for a birthday dinner with my girlfriends. The food was delicious and I can see why locals enjoy it. However, the atmosphere feels a bit old-school and could use some updates. The service was also confusing — the servers seemed unsure at times, passing responsibilities back and forth, which made the experience less smooth. Overall, the food is great, but the place itself is not really my vibe."

"Was a little nervous because of the mixed reviews, but this first visit was excellent! Great service, delicious food, nice vibe overall. Carpaccio was great, nice variety of flavor with good veggie accent. Scallop appetizer was perfectly prepared. The onion crusted yellowtail was also excellent, beautiful texture and taste. My dining partner had some allergies that the server and chef were super accommodating on. Definitely looking forward to visiting again!"
