    I come here often and always have a great experience. While the food is great, it is the people who work in the restaurant that makes it an awesome experience. They were attentive without over doing it.

    Maestro’s never disappoints. We celebrated my husband’s birthday after a previous visit the former year. The servers have elevated since and are not only well educated on the menu but kind and personable. Food is consistent and drinks are delicious. The only slightly disappointing thing was the lobster tail (MKT $) was overcooked. We didn’t have the courage to share this with our server but despite the one off, we were still happy with our meal. I would recommend the sea bass (pan seared) along with the lobster bisque if you aren’t into steak. My honey’s filet was cooked to perfection and sides were a hit! Will return next in the summer for another celebration.

    Have had dinner here a couple times. Both good. Met a friend today for lunch/brunch. Service was great. Food was good. Eggs were poached to perfection and loved the croissant switch out from English muffin. Only negative is the hollandaise on the Benedict wasn't very flavorful; maybe a bit more lemon would help? Would return for brunch again!
