It was my birthday celebration and Mastro's had a Happy Birthday message on top of the menu, which was very thoughtful. Service was very good, food was excellent (besides it took a while to come). I recommend!

Our server, Michael, was absolutely incredible! My husband and I shared the Brussels sprout salad, lemon pasta, and pork chop. Michael served it perfectly. He was super attentive and friendly. When we asked for the check a bit too quickly so catch of a singer at a piano bar, he gave us a dessert menu to let us know what we were missing and then checked us out right away. Everything was amazing!

Unique decor - different theme in every space, but each one fanciful and inviting. We sat in the swing room with a beautiful view of the river (but someone please clean those windows to fully maximize the views!) Food was very tasty with large portions - location and portion size justified the slightly pricey menu. Very friendly service. PERFECT after seeing a matinee at the Broward - a pleasant five minute walk along the river from the theater.
