Max's Opera Cafe

A charming and casual dining spot. I recently came here for lunch and noticed right away a certain nostalgic vibe about this place. The decor has a throwback feel about it but in a good way. There are a ton of windows that let in great natural light and makes the place feel much larger. The full bar looked like it offered a robust selection of drinks. The service was friendly, prompt and efficient. I had the salmon sandwich with fries. And it was really good. The piece of salmon was a good portion. The bread was excellent! I was here on a weekday eight at about noon and there was no wait at all. The restaurant itself was about 50% full. I’d come back here for sure the next time I’m in the area.

Loved the crab cakes here! They are thick and flavorful. Comes with cabbage and jicama which is refreshing to have after a bite. Also loved the roasted beets salad, it has corn, feta, avocado and candied walnuts. I got it with skirt steak. Wish I had asked for dressing on the side but next time! Overall great food and stay for dessert.

What an amazing discovery! We had dinner here before going to a show (we’re from out of town). My ruben sandwich was a true experience. It had LOTS of pastrami AND corned beef on fresh grilled rye. My wife’s french dip was also substantial and tasty. There was no room for dessert, so we came back a second day just for that. I recommend bringing friends to share the yumminess.
