Maximilien's 10th Anniversary

There was a break from the pooey weather just in time for Daddy and Mommy to have cocktails and catch a beautiful sunset on the patio of Maximilien at the Market tonight. They arranged for Ms. Cathy Van Riper to hang out with me while they enjoyed a fine dinner in celebration of the current owner's 10th anniversary of guiding Maximilien to consistent yumminess.

Their intention was to eat off the special anniversary prix fixe menu, but instead went whole-hog with myriad selections from the regular menu. Their server was a chap named Mike that has waited on them several times before. This relationship proved to be fruitful as he kept bringing wines to taste and provided a port during their dessert that was all on the hizouse. They don't want to rave too much about this place in fear that it will get overrun with foodies and hipsters, but this is really a place that you need to get to .
