Since this was our first visit to Max's Diner in San Ramon, we asked our server for her menu recommendation. She suggested an entree that wasn't on the menu, which she called "shrimp over sweet potato" and since we like shrimp and sweet potato, we decided to order it.

Unfortunately, we should have asked how this meal was prepared, as we were expecting shrimp over a bed of mashed sweet potatoes and it turned out to be fried shrimp on top of sweet potato fries! Oh well...at least the shrimp was lightly breaded and really very delicious. The sweet potato fries were hard and tasteless, but not eating them left room for dessert. :)

Max's Fantasy Torte was 2/3 very, very sweet...too sweet, in fact. It was even too sweet for him, and he's a chocoholic! The torte is comprised of a layer of cheesecake (which was the 1/3 that I DID like), a layer of chocolate mousse and a layer of chocolate cake...all encapsulated with bittersweet chocolate. Sweet, sweet, sweet...sickly, sickly sweet.

A side note to Max's: Would you please have someone maintain your ladies' restroom? It's about time someone cleans it and having more than one roll of toilet paper between the 3 stalls would be great.
