    We dined on my partner's birthday. We were seated at a booth decorated with a Happy Birthday card. Service was prompt and friendly. Two expertly mixed cocktails were followed by a delicious Caesar Salad for Two, prepared tableside. My partner ordered the Bucatini alla Vodka; I had the special Double Cut Pork Chop. Both were perfectly prepared and marvelous. We finished by sharing the Mudd Pie, served with a candle on a special birthday plate. Thankfully, no one offered to sing. Although the wines by the glass menu could use some bolstering, there is not much to complain about at Massimo's. Still the best in town.
