    As always, the food is outstanding. This time, however, our server was not quite as good as we have had in the past. She was not attentive.

    A top chef serving only the finest food. Going there for 17 years and hard to believe it gets better and better each time. Massimo never disappoints with his Italian and continental master pieces. His servers have been there from day one and that says loads about this romantic gem.

    Dining was a wonderful experience. The appetizers, dinner entrees and dessert were all very very good. Our server was prompt, attentive and the staff was genuinely interested in knowing that we enjoyed our meal. I would highly recommend Massimo’s. This was our first time there. I definitely will be back.

    Everything was delicious. For appetizers we had carpaccio, mushroom tart, and crab and lobster cakes. Our main courses were Veal Massimo, rack of lamb and lobster ravioli. Service was superb.

    Bertrand took excellent care of us. Carpaccio was tender and plentiful and melted in my mouth. Lobster Bisque was seasoned perfectly and full of Lobster meat. Filet Mignon au Poivre was perfect. Like butter! Tira mi su was a great finale!

    Hello, You were not called back, your ticket was adjusted while you were still present. You were presented with the wrong table check , sorry for the inconvenience.

    We had a nice dinner with an attentive waitress. Pleasant atmosphere. The Burrata was delicious and the bisque had nice texture and good lobster meat. We had the Parpadelle with crab and Alfredo - the lump crab meat was plentiful in a flavorful sauce. Highly recommend as well as the Veal Massimo which was very rich and came with veggies. The sauce was delicious. Finally we had the lemoncello cake with raspberry sauce - simply divine. The whipped cream is worth it alone on the side. Chef came by to check on us as well. We had a lovely time thank you.

    Chef Massimo came out with his signature veal in a mushroom sauce, which pleased my friend Richard greatly. Richard deemed it a $100 value. The Limoncello is a must try (You can trust me).
