Hisayuki "Max" Muramatsu

Max moved to the Monterey Peninsula in 1989, becoming a Member in Good Standing of the Monterey Bay Chapter of Les Toque Blanches. After 7 years as executive chef at Anton & Michel, a prestigious restaurant in Carmel, Max left to start his own restaurant with his lovely wife and partner Yuko. Opening its doors in the spring of 2003, Max’s Grill on Forest Avenue in Pacific Grove focuses on offering the freshest of food with warm, family-like friendliness. Max personally makes everything from scratch – even his own bread.  He changes a number of his menu items regularly to take advantage of the area’s seasonal offerings in both fresh seafood and produce and to provide new culinary delights for his regular customers.
