    Omg, just when I didn’t think it could get any better, it did! We ate at Max’s about 2 months ago. Went again on our way home from skiing yesterday and I swear, it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I got the same thing as last time…the baby kale and brussel salad and the trout almondine! Unbelievable! My husband got the Caesar and ordered swordfish grilled with a beurre blanc sauce, grilled asparagus and fingerling potatoes. As plain as that sounds, it was delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce…all I can say is we will keep coming back. I have to find excuses to go there as we live in South Jersey. Also our server Jayden was fantastic! Very attentive! Love, love, love Max’s! I used to go just because of the oyster selection, but now it’s everything else!
