I had hoped to hit up a Max group restaurant this evening to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary (we've been together for 18 years...when it's right there's no need to rush it!), but hubby is sick again and worked from home, so we went to Carmen Anthony's in Waterbury. I guess you could say it's our Max Fish, as we've celebrated several anniversaries there now. The meal was phenomenal. We shared delicious fried lobster tails with a roumalade as an app. They had the perfect amount of batter, lightly seasoned so you could still taste the lobster meat. John had the baked stuffed shrimp with a Ritz cracker crabmeat stuffing -- looked great, but I didn't even try it because of my heaping plate of lobster fra diavolo. I, too, adore lobster and I love when it's prepared in unique ways. My pasta sauce had a great kick and loads of meat -- delicious! For dessert, the restaurant treated us to a slice of peppermint cheesecake...the perfect ending. Just an all around wonderful meal. Have you been to Carmen Anthony's? Some day I WILL get to Max Fish...but I'd love to hear your comparison of the two restaurants! So glad you guys enjoyed your meal.

And Max Fish was the perfect place to celebrate such an occasion. I look forward to our next dinner there...how about to celebrate 10 years and 1 month! I'll be happy to work with you on understanding nigiri. In my opinion, what makes nigiri sushi GOOD is quality and freshness of the raw fish, how well the fish is sliced and how well the rice is cooked. Ben,

I really liked this review. I've only been to a few of the Max Group restaurants but they really are the total package of good food, good service, and good ambiance. I've never fancied myself a seafood person but I think my palate is slowly evolving. At least shellfish anyways. I have a salmon recipe I've been meaning to try from my smoking buddies that is advertised as being a recipe that people who don't like salmon will like, so I'll report back as to how it went. On the topic of seafood, I'm going to need Rob to brief me on nigiri the next time I see him. I know that's his gold standard on judging sushi restaurants. I love me a good sushi roll (me and Kat have had Sushi Sundays I think 5 weeks in a row now) but nigiri is a whole 'nother world that I need to dive in to. Congrats on the 10 years!
