    Decided to come here for the bottomless mimosas and the price, taste, and value did not disappoint! We ended up ordering some food as well which was amazing. The waitress was accommodating to my allergies which I loved. We enjoyed the music (playing amapiano, hip hop and rnb) and decor as well! All in all it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Makao for a cute drink and appy experience!

    The place is very nice, but the price for the quantity of the food was to much. To small portion for big price, my receipt was 100$ for 2 drinks 1 entrance of salmon tartar and 1 of ceviche who did not look like ceviche like we Latinos really do it. It was my first time at Makao. But I think you can go somewhere else and have better food for less expensive. The staff were very nice. But I wanted to try the food I was not really satisfied. Will not go back. Thank you!

    Upon arrival, the place was definitely smaller than it looks online. We felt forgotten by team members who didn’t check in and the wait as other people mentioned was so long - service needs to be reviewed, it was truly disappointing. Food especially tapas were really good, but they tend to add a lot sauce to their items - only issue was that the fried rice was soggy with a sauce, but otherwise the rest was delicious. Virgin drinks were also good!

    J’ai eu une bonne expérience mais je ne crois pas y retourner. Le prix des cocktails est ridicule pour la quantité et ce n’est pas trop travaillé comme drink. L’ambiance et le service sont bon et la nourriture aussi.
