Mastro’s never disappoints. The food was OUTSTANDING! By far was the best food this time out of all the times we have been here. I had the Seabass special with King Crab, My husband had the Pork Chop. Both we’re out of this world. The manager even stopped by to check on us after everything. Truly an experience worth every penny.

Four of us went on a Monday at 12 noon and sat on the porch in the back. We had soups and mostly fish for our meals. Waiter was very good and the noise level was low. Beautiful day to view the ocean. It was a good experience.
