   Had a lovely meal where we had several starters to share along with a pizza. We got to try the great variety of food they offered and there were great options available on the kids menu for those not wanting to try new flavours ;) Our server was fantastic and it’s such a beautiful location suitable for any occasion!

   Great restaurant for Lakeview, service and food. A favourite spot of mind for quiet dining. Been there many times and have not been disappointed. Ambience is trendy. Pizza is delicious. Had brunch today, Shakubah, poached eggs with chorizo in roasted tomatoes, garnished with feta served with pita for dipping the sauce. Great dish! Only suggestion, reduce amount of sauce, found the sauce overpowered the flavour of chorizo and eggs.

   Went to Maestro’s for happy hour to celebrate our anniversary. The food menu was limited but everything was very tasty. We were treated to a delicious dessert. Our server was excellent and very attentive. All in all a very satisfactory experience.

   TLDR; we had a disappointing experience overall. Details: Our family of four adults arrived a couple of minutes prior to our reservation time (6:30) & were seated in the bar lounge. We could see couples seated at tables of four & empty tables for two. What is the point of making a reservation? The bartender offered us water then we ordered cocktails & our food (prix fixe Thanksgiving, no subs or special requests). The cocktails arrived with our soup course! We had to ask for the soup to be taken & come back after our cocktails. They said it would be under the heaters. When it came back, we had to ask for spoons and pepper. It was very good squash soup. We had to ask to order wine with dinner. The bartender was unfamiliar with the wine list. They had one Beaujolais, which I said four times. They ultimately returned and asked me to point it out. By this time our food was in front of us, except for about a five-seven min. wait for one person's, causing us all to wait despite urgings to begin. My son had to request a knife since his rolled napkin held two forks. Again we requested pepper, & just two of the three meals got peppered. When the final plate arrived, they asked for pepper. The wine was opened proficiently, but the bartender chose to pour into the glass of the person on my left, who tasted it. Fine, not correct, but whatever. The wine was delicious & suited the main course very well. The mains were overall fine, but some of the turkey pieces (all breast) were oddly very hard to cut. One person has arthritis & wished for a steak knife. :( The veggies, turkey dressing, gravy, & mashed potatoes were very good. When paying, the bartender placed the machine over the bill which I took time to review. They lurked over me, so it was very awkward when trying to consider the tip. I gave 20%. They really need to be trained. Maestro's has an A team, we just didn't get them. What sad service & experience. Grateful for being able to eat out but hoped for so much more.

   Hello - I’m sorry to hear about the disappointing experience you had during what should have been an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner. It’s clear several aspects of the service and meal fell far short of the standard we aim to provide. Your experience with the bar service, from the timing of your cocktails and soup to the unfamiliarity with the wine list, is unacceptable. We will be addressing these issues directly with our team to ensure they receive the training they need to handle situations with more competence and care. We value loyal local guests like yourself and deeply regret this visit left such a negative impression. I would love the opportunity to personally welcome you back and ensure that your next experience is much more enjoyable. - Fran - Assistant to the General Manager

   There was a very loud group of young women they tried to sit us by .. we had to ask to be moved to the other side of the restaurant so we could hear each other .. the service was excellent .. the food was ok .. beef carpaccio has no flavor .. needs truffle oil or Parmesan cheese or something on it .. our seafood pasta was good .. overall a nice meal but pricy ..

   Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that you had excellent service and enjoyed the seafood pasta. However, we’re sorry to hear that the ambience didn’t meet your expectations and that the noise level affected your experience. We'll definitely take your suggestion about the beef carpaccio into consideration – it’s important to us that every dish has great flavor. We understand the meal was on the pricier side, and we appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us improve. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time! - Francheska Milne - Assistant to the General Manager

   Unfortunately this place has gone from a great restaurant to one lacking on everything. I took my partner there for his birthday. Service was very slow, even though the server was attentive, we had to wait a long time. Got our order wrong or not at all. The only thing we got right and on time was the bill!!! We’ll try again. Hopefully it’ll go back to what it used to be.
   

   Maestro’sResponded on 27 September 2024

   Hello Julia - I sincerely apologize your recent visit did not meet the high standards you had come to expect from us, especially on such a special occasion like your partner's birthday. We deeply regret the slow service and mix-ups with your order, and I understand how frustrating that must have been. While I’m glad to hear that your server was attentive, the delays and mistakes you experienced are certainly not reflective of the level of service we aim to provide. Please know we are taking your feedback seriously. We appreciate your willingness to give us another chance, and we hope to exceed your expectations when you return. If you would like to reach out to me directly before your next visit, I’d be happy to personally ensure that your experience is a positive one. Francheska Milne

    The Seafood Tower was quite good but with a high price point. The Martini's we ordered came in highball glasses. We were told this was because we wanted them "over the rocks"! I ordered a second and that was in a Martini glass. So the bar tender did know how to make a proper one!!!! The crab legs were very difficult to handle. SIicing down the whole length of the leg would be a huge improvement.
    

    Maestro’sResponded on 17 September 2024

    Hello Valerie - Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Seafood Tower and the scenic views during your visit. We appreciate your kind words about our outdoor dining experience. We also apologize for the inconsistency with your martini presentation. Rest assured, we’ll address this with our bar team to ensure the proper glassware is used consistently moving forward. Regarding the crab legs, we understand how important it is for our guests to enjoy their meal without difficulty, and we value your suggestion about slicing them down for easier handling. We will certainly share this with our culinary team for consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon for an even better experience.
