    During our last dining experience here in June 2024, we were very disappointed since unfortunately we had a food preparation problem. I called the next day to discuss it with the manager, she apologized and asked us to please dine with them again, since the problem would be addressed. We did give them another try last night, and we are glad we did!! Our appetizers, entrees, beverages were all delicious, creatively prepared with great presentation and professionally served. A terrific restaurant learns and improves from mistakes, and we appreciate their professionalism and find them to continue being innovative and special.

    Christmas dinner at Mastro’s was fantastic. The food, as always is amazing…perfectly seasoned and presented. They serve love on a plate at Mastro’s! The staff is always warm and welcoming when I return. Preston, the manager stopped by the table to insure everything was satisfactory. David & Steve were very gracious in greeting us. Stefan provided excellent service throughout the evening. It is a pleasurable experience dining at Mastro’s each and every time. I can’t wait to return!

    The service was amazing. The food was amazing. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto. It’s always excellent and we share the dessert of the crème brûlée bread pudding. It was the best I’ve ever had.
