    Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

    We enjoy Mastro's Steakhouse - the food and service. We have been multiple times, and it never disappoints. The quail knots and butter cake are favorites of ours! Frank was an excellent server, along with the other servicemen in the restaurant. Thank y'all for making our dining experience at Mastro's pleasant and memorable, as always!

    Food and service were outstanding. Everything was cooked to perfection. My only complaint is that our entire party had to use our phone flashlights to read the menu it was so dark in the restaurant .. I am all for ambiance but that's dark!

    Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!

    We had four different dishes (two steaks and two types of fish. ALL were delicious. I really don’t think you could find anything that wasn’t outstanding. The one thing I would change is the noise level. They might refer to it as energetic, I thought it was a little too loud. Made it necessary to speak louder and it seemed like a competition. No a huge problem but not a quiet romantic dinner. A matter of taste. Great experience.
