    Food and wine were excellent and the staff were very friendly and attentive. However we were outside and even though there was heating in the area it was still very very cold!!!!!
    Chez MaxResponded 2 days ago
    Merci for your review, Joan. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the food, wine, and service—it means a lot to us. We're sorry to hear you felt cold outside, even with the heating. We’ll take this on board to make the outdoor experience cosier in the future.
