Cafe Maxx always delivers an outstanding experience. We had the pleasure of introducing a wonderful friend to Cafe Maxx last night and he was so impressed with the incredible layer of flavors in all that we enjoyed. You have a new foodie loyal follower. Thanks so much Cafe Maxx!

After traveling all day and wanting to go somewhere within walking distance I booked Sands Harbor. We were here several times when Rusty Hook owned the place. No whole fish fried with Thai chili sauce, bummer, but the food was pretty good. Grouper bites were good with yummy tarter sauce (always a good sign). My husband got the steak sandwich after toying with mahi tacos. He said the steak was tender and everything that went along was tasty especially the slaw which was plentiful and pretty delicious, also a sign of a good restaurant. I had the steak bites over Spanish rice with chimmichuri which was delightful, not so sure it was Spanish but very tasty. Lots of crunchy flavorful broccoli to balance out the fried fish bites. And the steak was grilled with mushrooms, peppers and onions, all really delicious. We got a bottle of wine and took the leftovers home. Definitely go that route because the glass pours seemed very small. Our server was a little green but super sweet and took great care of us. We sat under the covered area because it threatened rain but none came along. The open air breeze was so nice after coming from CT’s unpredictable now winter type weather, ugh. Great first day restaurant pick for sure. Not a luxury menu and missed that Thai fish dish but satisfying all the same. I hear the flatbread is nothing special. Our server said the vodka sauce pasta was his favorite but we weren’t feeling pasta. Great views of the intercostal with a nice breeze. Can’t go wrong there. Very relaxing and peaceful.

Everything was as amazing as we remembered from the last time many years ago when we were there on a visit to Fort Lauderdale. I only wish we had gone during the day when we could have enjoyed the view. The Christmas decorations in the main room were magical. The staff was helpful and our server, Heather, was especially kind and efficient. The food was delicious and delivered promptly. No complains at all. We look forward to our next visit.

This was such a wonderful place to go for dinner for our friend’s bachelorette weekend! The ceviche was outstanding and every dish was unique and delicious!! Make a reservation, you won’t be sorry!!
