My family went for Christmas dinner and had a wonderful experience. We had the filet trio, king crab, and sea bass as entrees. All were delicious. The steak was tender, and cooked to medium perfection. The server was attentive and friendly. We will definitely return in the future.

Great atmosphere and delicious food! Almost canceled our 9:30 pm reservation but so glad we didn’t. The place was packed but the service was efficient. We had both kinds of gnocchi, vegetable frites, Caesar salad and fusilli with three kinds of meat- it was all excellent!

I always enjoy lunch at Mazi: food is great, staff is attentive and friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the noise level is generally low enough with the seats spaced well apart to have a quiet conversation without straining to hear.
