Dear Friends,

With full hearts, we share the news that after more than 22 wonderful years, Max's Grill has closed its doors and we have retired. Since opening in 2003, it has been our greatest joy and privilege to welcome you into our restaurant here in Pacific Grove.

When Max first arrived on the Monterey Peninsula, his dream was to bring people together through fresh, creative cuisine. From the very beginning, your encouragement, support, and friendship made that dream possible. Whether you joined us for a special celebration, a quiet dinner, or simply a glass of wine and conversation, each visit meant the world to us.

To our loyal guests, our neighbors, our staff—past and present—and to the entire community: thank you. You have been the heart of Max's Grill. We will carry with us not only the memories of food shared, but also the laughter, stories, and connections we were privileged to experience alongside you.

Though this chapter has come to a close, we step into retirement with gratitude and joy, knowing that our lives have been enriched by all of you.

With love and appreciation,
Max and Yuko Muramatsu
