CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
O
ne bite and I was HOOKED. Ok! Truth moment, I was actually hooked before my food even arrived. My first visit to Max’s Wine Dive was amazing! From the moment I walked, in the atmosphere reminded me I was in deed on a mommy break. Complimentary valet, beautiful people, a huge selection of wine, finger licking food choices, and a friendly wait staff made this visit well spent. SO it was only right to share this fab restaurant with the besties AKA“5 Ladies & a Fork”. Since I had already dined there less than 2 weeks before, I was able to share yummy details about the dish I tried. We enjoyed our meal SO much, we decided we would get together every other month and try a new restaurant. They joked about me adding our outing to the magazine...hee hee I DID!!! -Shunte
