We went here for lunch last weekend and I came on to write a review and were surprised by the comments below. They must have lifted their game since November because we had a great experience.

The pizza was delicious - fresh ingredients, light fluffy base and Huge. The chicken/avo risotto was one of the best I've had, creamy deliciousness. I'm still drooling thinking about it!

The service was great. The only issue we did have was that we picked Max's because it was in the entertainment book and we were in the area only to be told at checkout that the previous management had put them in the book and they wouldn't honour the 15% but offered us 10%.. for the sake of 5% I thought they probably could have just done it and not somewhat tainted the experience. That said, we'll definitely return soon for more risotto and pizza!

Our favourite cafe hands down. The food is delicious and affordable, the service is always prompt and cheerful (even when they're packed). The coffee is good and breakfast yummmmm.

We've eaten here on a number of occasions in late 2011 and again in the new year. The food is great, nicely presented, fresh and tasty. It's the service that lets this place down. The younger staff are fine and attentive. The senior staff is rude and very aloof. It's a hard ask when there are many great pubs in the area.
