Service was very good. Food was all delicious. We tried the meatball appetizer, pasta bolognese and tiramisu for dessert. Some of the best we have ever had. This was our first time there. Atmosphere was fun. Would definitely go again when in Fort Lauderdale.

Makoto is my favorite restaurant! The food is always delicious! The only thing I wish they could improve, is the noise level. When it gets crowded, it is pretty loud. I went there for my friend’s birthday and we both loved it and had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!

This was a nice spot and the happy hour menu was really good. Customer service with the bartenders could be better. It took a while to get served and even more time elapsed before my water was refreshed. And I was at the bar eating for happy hour.

Christmas dinner at Mastro’s was fantastic. The food, as always is amazing…perfectly seasoned and presented. They serve love on a plate at Mastro’s! The staff is always warm and welcoming when I return. Preston, the manager stopped by the table to insure everything was satisfactory. David & Steve were very gracious in greeting us. Stefan provided excellent service throughout the evening. It is a pleasurable experience dining at Mastro’s each and every time. I can’t wait to return!
