    On my reservation noted "a birthday" We arrived to a darling sign for the Birthday Girl and gold star glitter on the table--a great start! Adorable server (Clarissa), good service (attentive but not overly so) and FABULOUS food and presentation. Just a PERFECT night to celebrate--LOVED our evening.

    In general it was very nice. Food was food. Service was great Only comment. We paid $38 for squid ink pasta. It was buried in some pea sauce and tasted just ok. Definitely overpriced for such dish (even though it included 3 pieces of Lobster)

    The service was mediocre. Servers arrived table side and interrupted conversation several times. Server arrived with two glasses and two carafes of wine and double poured the carafes into one glass. She then ran away back to the bar with the wine which I thought was so inappropriate.

    My mother, mother-in-law and I went to Il Massimo for lunch after wedding dress shopping. Keith was our server, and he was amazing. We opted for the three course lunch, which was perfectly delicious and generous in serving size (each of us had plenty of leftovers!) I enjoyed their Espresso Martini, while my mother-in-law asked for a glass of white wine. Our server asked her a few questions about what her preferences were and nailed it, she loved it =) Highly recommend!!

    Every time we come here, it’s always a wonderful experience! We were celebrating a special occasion, and I had requested in the reservation that we sit outside. The hostess was very polite, acknowledged who I was and confirmed where we wanted to sit and noted it was a “special occasion” and found us a perfect table in the shade to enjoy brunch. Our server, Keith, took extremely good care of us throughout our stay. He made sure that our drinks were constantly filled, and was always popping in at the perfect moments to ensure we were satisfied. Overall, another great Il Massimo brunch in the books! If you’re looking for a nice brunch spot with great food, a nice ambiance, and even better service, look no further - this is your spot! Thank you again, Keith & team!

    Nice place for a quiet lunch. Food is good and service is good but a bit slow if you were in a hurry. Ambiance is quiet, but it was a weekday lunch. We all had the fast 3 course lunch specials which were a good value and the food was more than enough.
