Fine dining experience with a beautiful atmosphere. Stunning Westernport bay water views and the food and wine which was 5 ⭐️
The wait staff were fabulous and the chef what can I say - more than incredible. It’s a dining experience we’ll remember as uniquely fabulous. The food was delicious and we left pleasantly perfectly filled up.

Each course was paired with a lovely matched wine. Option to not choose the wines also. I just can’t choose which course I liked the best.

We look forward to retuning to the new venue. Thanks all for our fabulous lunch!

This was our second time back at Max's after loving it the first time. We tried somewhere else in between, but it didn’t compare and was more expensive. The flavours at Max's are incredible, the technique is impressive, and the attention to detail really stands out. Service is warm and professional, and they cater for dietary needs with no fuss. Such a great experience every time.

Attended the Winter Solstice feast. It was incredible! The atmosphere, the food and company were perfect. Came away with a very full belly. Will be making this an annual event on the calendar!
