    It was as freezing at the tables by the door. I mentioned it to the waiter and he said there used to be a heater there, but he said the staff was getting too warm so they took it away. In my opinion they should be thinking about the customer. I will not be coming back to that restaurant anytime soon because it was so cold.

    It was Valentine’s Day so we knew it would be crowded and loud. So we were cool with that. However the food was not up to its usual standards. The lamb chops were under cooked and the sides were luke warm. We didn’t want to send it back but it was just too much going on and we didn’t want to wait too much longer. We love Maestro’s but will probably NEVER go on Valentine’s Day again.
