Cafe Maxx

Cafe Maxx Review

New-wave epicurean dining had its South Florida start here in the early 1980s, and Cafe Maxx remains fresh. The menu changes nightly but showcases tropical appeal with jerk-spiced sea scallops or jumbo stone crab claws with honey-lime mustard sauce and black-bean-and-banana-pepper chili with Florida avocado. Appetizers include caviar pie and crispy sweetbreads. Desserts such as Trio of Sorbet (or ice cream) with a flurry of fruit sauces, including mango, stay the tropical course. Select from 300 wines by the bottle, and many by the glass.

    Have been to Cafe Max several times over the past years,,, the food has always been very good. And yes, it is pricey... as an example, there is a $55 roast veal chop on the menu... many wouldn't risk ordering it for that price, but I can tell you, you'd be hard pressed to find a better, more well prepared entree anywhere!
    Sometimes you get what you pay for.

    As part of Dine Out Lauderdale we went to Café Maxx for their related $35 price fixed menu. The food was fine except for the cold tomatoes on the Caprese salad, over cooked vegetables that came with the Petite Filet Mignon and the Crème Brulee that was mostly cream. However, the service was not friendly and felt rushed. Given their normal prices we dont think the value is there for a return visit.
