    Arrived from out of town and went for early dinner to celebrate my local friend’s 65th birthday. Outdoor seating closest to the view were reserved so we opted for indoor seating. Service was great. . Had cocktails first. And calamari. We did the sunset dinner which was a great value. I ordered the clam chowder which was delicious. She ordered the sweet potato soup which she liked but said was very rich so she only tasted it so she wouldn’t get full. It was a bowl of soup so I got pretty full. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Served on mashed potatoes with green beans. They comped an ice cream cake slice with candle. I’d definitely go back with my golf friends when we’re in town.

    We thought the “pace” for ordering and serving our meal was very enjoyable. Food is fantastic. Highlight is the Stuffed Avocado starter. Avocado, stuffed with crab meat and spicy tuna, wrapped in very light tempura. Amazing! Ordered a couple of chef’s special rolls. Priceless wrapped with cucumber was really delicious. Basic Rainbow Roll was exceptional because quality of fish and proportion of fish to rice is better than most sushi places. We’ll be back.

    Our 6th Wedding Anniversary at Mastro’s was excellent!! We had delicious food - love the bread basket, shrimp cocktail, lobster mashed potatoes, double-cut pork chop, beef filet - all prepared perfectly. Service was very good. It’s a lovely restaurant in a great location. **There is a large parking lot behind the building as well as street parking and valet parking.
