Cafe Maxx

A Pompano Beach landmark with an iconic chef that over the years has maintained quality taste and beautiful presentation. Having lived and being part of this city for many years, I feel that Cafe Max is the spot to eat if you are a local or if you are visiting north Broward county or Fort Lauderdale from any part of the world. Oliver max is an award winning chef that over the years proved to the general public and to the connaisseur that he is a force in culinary art in our beloved city and probably on our state. We visited this restaurant for many years since it started in 1988, never to be disappointed. From their appetizers to the salads and all their main dishes nothing is below a 5 star rating. Parking is ample and it remains the best kept secret. The service is impeccable and the serving staff has been with Chef Saucy for many years. The choice of wines is fabulous. Thank you Chef Saucy for being part of our our great city Pompano Beach.

A group of us recently gathered together for a “Celebration of Life” memorial dinner for people we loved who were murdered in a car accident. Despite the solemness of the moment, we were given a private room which allowed us to move around and mingle with each other. I’d like to personally thank Ricardo and the entire team at Café Maxx for taking care of us. The service was impeccable. And a few of us happened to be returning customers. And the rest of us, we’re definitely coming back, as well. Thank you so much to Café Maxx for providing all of us an opportunity to grieve while at the same time celebrating the memory of those who were taken too soon. There really aren’t enough words to express my personal appreciation to all of you except to express my deepest gratitude to all of you. Thank you, ever so much! I tried to post the photos in a particular order but when I uploaded them it changed the order and I'm not sure how to correct it so I'm just going to let it go and leave it as it is, oh my.

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 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.

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!
