    It was Valentine’s Day so we knew it would be crowded and loud. So we were cool with that. However the food was not up to its usual standards. The lamb chops were under cooked and the sides were luke warm. We didn’t want to send it back but it was just too much going on and we didn’t want to wait too much longer. We love Maestro’s but will probably NEVER go on Valentine’s Day again.

    Food was good the Valentine’s Day menu was limited so I would like to try something else. Drink were strong so if you get 2 or 3 make sure you have an uber. Victor our waiter was perfect, he made sure we got exactly what we wanted and gave great drink suggestions. I’ll definitely be back and ask to be in his section
