Max's Grill

Description:

• It's been more than four years since celebrated chef Hisayuki "Max" Muramatsu opened his stylish-yet-friendly eatery in Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula. Max is a Tokyo-born, French-trained, award winning chef who cooked at Maxim's of Paris in Tokyo and was twice named best chef in Tokyo. He is well known as the former executive chef at the prestigious Anton & Michel in Carmel. His charming wife Yuko is in charge of the front of the house. Max's menu has changed too. His tasty (and ever changing) weekly specials menu is now complimented by a standard menu comprised of items most ordered by the Max faithful. A child's menu is also now available. As always he makes his own bread, pasta and gnocchi daily. Typical choices include steaks, chops, poultry, sushi, fresh seafood, pasta, salads and home made desserts. A premium-yet-modest wine list is assembled to compliment the dining experience. Max's guests are also invited to bring their own favorite bottle of wine to enjoy with their meal.
