We went for lunch. The Meyer lemon pizza is definitely interesting, but not for me beyond the first slice

Max & Familia are the best

This was up until now my favorite restaurant in the area, went for my birthday, when we walked in we saw the pizza chef kind of scraping the char off a pizza and we're like oh dang ... Fast forward and one of the pizzas we ordered was charcoal on one side, you can see where they tried to cut off some of the crust... Bizarre that they would serve it, I was going to send it back but no one ever did a check on our table and I gave up. It kind of ruined wanting to go back there for me : (

Please know that I am a cook and a food connoisseur. My friend and I dined at Corkscrew Cafe last evening. We were blown away! Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations! It was a perfect party of palatable joy! A friend of Christina's had recommended the Meyer's Lemon Prosciutto Pizza. Serious magic on the tongue!!! And the crust... I normally don't eat the crust of a pizza. I devoured every bit. My favorite pizza is a margarita pizza. We shared. It was every bit as delightful as the Meyer's lemon! I'm a calamari snob. HANDS DOWN the BEST calamari on the Monterey Peninsula! Tender, light, fresh Monterey Bay calamari. And they are brilliant enough to serve it with both tartar sauce and a delightful cocktail sauce. You MUST experience the PEAR SALAD! We delightfully sipped LaMarca Prosecco during our meal. The servers were friendly and caring. The pizza cook a genius! We asked if we could bring fresh gluten-free pizza dough and if they would use it to prepare a pizza for Christina's daughter next week. They are happy to accommodate! It definitely without any hesitation is worth the drive into beautiful Carmel Valley!!! I can't wait to go again and again. I have to try their pasta with Bolognese and their short rib...♥️♥️♥️

Our favorite place in Carmel Valley. Back patio seating near the fountain is very special. Food and service are always great! Be sure to pick up a bottle of wine at Georgis Winery (across the street) to enjoy with your meal.
Elote pizza is out of this world!!! Slightly spicy, tantalizingly sweet corn. Crispy edges. Speechless.
Tasty fish tacos. Lovely wine pours.
My drinking mate and I walked in for lunch with no reservation. We were seated right away. We had a time crunch, and the waiter was very accommodating.
Quirky outdoor seating area with multi-colored cushions adorning the seats.
Indoors looked more rustic with brick and wood motifs.
Great food. Great service. About $40/pp. We’ll be back!

Very nice place and well priced for the area. Service was very good, so unusual nowadays. Pizza was perfectly done in the Wood-Fired oven as we watched.
