First of all the food was good but not memorable. Took way too long to get water refills and bread. Server was very good and professional. Very pricey for food that was just slightly above average.

Food was delicious! Service was great! We had made a reservation months ago as we were driving from afar. Traffic made us half hour late for our reservation . We called and they graciously said we will hold your table. When we finally arrived the hostess and the wait staff was calming. What a great evening it turned out to be!

This was the second time i ate there and i was so pleased. The service was wonderful.amd i had brought a friend for her birthday. We had plenty of time to chat and enjoy the food and wine.

Food and service were great. The server was very attentive and our wine glasses never were empty. There was a very noisy large group seated near us that were having a wonderful time but it made conversation difficult at our table. Also, the people at the table next to us had a small dog in a shopping bag at the table next to us. It was well behaved but we don't think an indoor dining room at a nice restaurant is place to bring a dog, well behaved or not. Probably won't happen next time and we will be back.

We started with a salad with thinly shaved duck prosciutto which was excellent, followed by the well executed sea bass. Our server was excellent; following up on details. Ambiance classy.

I'm glad I visited as the staff was kind, but the food was too expensive for the value. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

It had been a while since we last ate at Massimos so we weren't sure if the food and service would be as good as it was when Max was the owner. We were pleasantly surprised that the experience was as great as before. Our food was great, Al was playing piano in the lounge and was terrific as always, and Dave was gracious and friendly in his "GM" role. But the best part of the evening was having Stephanie as our server. She was attentive, sweet, accommodating, funny and just a joy to interact with. We were celebrating our anniversary and Stephanie made it special. We're definitely coming back to Massimos soon.

Had excellent meal with our choice of entrees, sea bass for myself and rib eye for my husband. Also the kale/mango salad was great.

I dang a star for service because we were urged to order everything at once (because we were going to a show after) and assured the food would come out in order and not rushed. But our salads came out first. Then our appetizers, with dinner very shortly after. But food was great
In reservation our party asked for a quiet area for hearing impaired individuals. On a very busy Saturday night Massimo placed us in a side room all by ourselves so we could her each other. Fantastic experience and so glad that Massimo read and responded to our reservtion request.

The chef did not prepare the dishes as listed on the menu. We should have sent everything back, but this was the first time we had been there for brunch, we were celebrating a birthday & didn't want to make an embarrassing fuss. 2 of us had pancetta omelettes -- they were FIILLED WITH ONIONS NOT LISTED ON THE MENU. We both would have specified NO ONIONS, but instead picked them out. Also, almost no pancetta, no tomatoes, only a few chopped mushrooms. My husband ordered the classic eggs benedict but the chef used the calabrian chile hollandaise not the classic one listed on the menu. Chef needs to check our the menu to prepare the food as listed. Good grief! Server was fine. Food was not.

Haven't been to this place in about a year or so, since new ownership. Luckily, they have kept the same ambiance, with a few lovely upgrades. But still the old-school, classic Italian white table-cloth restaurant, that I crave! Good to see David, always nice to see familiar faces. My friend had the sea bass (started w the clam chowder). His sea bass was cooked to perfection and he devoured every drop of the soup. I enjoyed their gorgeous fresh green salad w vinegrette dressing, perfectly dressed and the most delectable colorful, thinly sliced radishes and carrot. Very elegant. Then for main course, a creamy risotto chicken Marcela. The red wine reduction sauce should be patented. Chocolate martini and bread pudding for desert. Sat in the large booth overlooking the bar and restaurant. It was a perfect eve w the service being impeccable.

I have been to Masimo many times. Primarily before the new ownership occurred. It always had a high level of food service elegance. After the new ownership, I was disappointed twice. But we decided to give it another try and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good. The service was exceptional. It wasn't horribly noisy and they were kind to serve us slowly so that we weren't too early for the theater. Yes, for sure we will go there again. It was a very good experience.

Went there for Sunday brunch. We had 11 people in our party. Excellent food, service and overall experience. We will return.
