This place is truly excellent. I can't believe I never noticed it before. Mind you , I always drive by it, exiting Heustons Parking. The food was VERY well prepared. Cooked to perfection, I've never had juicier swordfish! Garnish and side dishes were simply delicious. Overall the dinner was probably one of my most memorable, dessert not so much. Another... more

We felt welcomed by the complimentary valet which was waiting as we pulled up. We started at the bar for a cocktail be before we sat down for dinner. They had a very... more

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and special. The server treated my wife and I with care and told us about the menu, with great sugestions and a smile. The food, from the appetizer to the main course was unbelievable. The chef took his time to prepare the dish, with beautiful presentations. I had the snapper, and my... more

they have a chocolate lava cake (i can't remember the exact name of it...it wasn't called a lava cake) that is the absolute, hands down best dessert i've ever had in my life! it was that semi/almost bittersweet chocolate cake that's still gooey in the middle. Awesome!! I also had the filet which was excellent too. Good service, comfortable atmosphere. more

Cafe Maxx has a superb local reputation so we were disappointed with our visit & for the same reasons as other posters. We all seem to have had the same lousy waitress. As one other poster said: MIA. So much so that the first time she brought us our main courses, the vegetables were all cold. We couldn't even find... more
