The food was exceptional. The carrots are a must have! We weren’t too hot about the crispy potatoes but overall an amazing dining experience. The team was excellent as well (shout out to Tom) and made our anniversary special.

First time to this restaurant and I've been hearing a lot about it and I see why, Sara and Mike were great! I was on a first date and they made our date night even better.

I always enjoy lunch at Mazi: food is great, staff is attentive and friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the noise level is generally low enough with the seats spaced well apart to have a quiet conversation without straining to hear.
