Dine at a California-style bistro in a setting reminiscent of San Francisco, where the food is affordable, and the service is straightforward—just like Max’s humble origins. Max’s Bistro and Bar offers superior food and service and cozy space. It is evident by the three generations of Fresnans seated at each person’s preferred table. It is audible in the raucous laughter between the waitress and the customer and spreads throughout the space. And you can see it in the expressions of the venue’s culinary experts as they gaze out of the little kitchen window at a swarm of recognizable individuals who have grown to be a part of Max’s family.

Every dish is meticulously created from the ground up, bursting with inventiveness, and always made with the finest, freshest ingredients that can be found nearby. The early delivery of fresh fish and veggies, which determines Max’s daily seafood special, will fluctuate with the seasons. The fragrances fill the restaurant as the bar serves out a choice of hand-shaken martinis and a wide selection of wines by the glass or bottle. Their non-alcoholic options include SPARKY’S Root Beer, Gardenia Grape soda, and GUS Extra Dry Ginger Ale. Other than that, you can also try domestic and imported beers.
