- JJeromeVIPPhoenix / Arizona •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe went to Mastros on Christmas Eve. The place was packed. But everything went perfectly. All great food - everything we ordered and every side dish. Even the drinks were excellent. And the service was perfect. We live not far away and had never been to this Mastro’s before.

- DDawnVIPAtlanta Metro •29 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGreat authentic Mexican in Sedona. First trip to Sedona and made a reservation at Mole based on reviews. We enjoyed our dinner there. No issues finding a parking spot in their private lot even being the week of Christmas. We sat inside but they do have a nice patio as well. We started with the guacamole and chips with a pitcher of red sangria. Both very good. For our entrees my husband ordered the mole chicken enchiladas and I had the shrimp enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. Flavors and presentation both excellent. No room for dessert but would have ordered the churros if I did.More infoMole SedonaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Sedona•4.7
- SSusanLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThe food and libations were outstanding, as was the service. Everything we ordered tasted amazing, and the portions were perfect. The establishment is well appointed but could use some sound dampening- it was hard at times to hear conversations at our own table. Nonetheless, I highly recommend The Cut - it’s fantastic!More infoTHE CUT Modern American Eatery & BarPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Rancho Cucamonga•4.9
