    A wonderful Thanksgiving Day experience. The food was great and plentiful. Unique differences like the fresh baked pop-overs and candied ginger on the pumpkin pie made this a meal to remember. Our waiter Steven was exceptional This is the 4th time we’ve been to an H2O restaurant and every time has been enjoyable and memorable.

    My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best experience. Bobby and Iffy were our waiters and were so kind and quick. The food was amazing, as always. The service was impeccable. We really felt cared for. I also appreciate the suggestions and help from Iffy when we were indecisive on what to order, he steered us in the right direction. Really appreciate the care and quality of service we received. Will definitely be returning!

    I scheduled a reservation for 8pm and ended up coming in a little early. I was seated without any wait despite my arrival being early. The food was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, as well as delicious. My only complaint that I do have is that the margaritas that my table ordered were a little too strong for our liking. Aside from that, I definitely will be returning to Mito in the future.
