    We enjoy Mastro's Steakhouse - the food and service. We have been multiple times, and it never disappoints. The quail knots and butter cake are favorites of ours! Frank was an excellent server, along with the other servicemen in the restaurant. Thank y'all for making our dining experience at Mastro's pleasant and memorable, as always!

    We were celebrating three best friends birthdays!! Our waiter immediately brought each of us a complementary glass of champagne. That was a nice touch to start our evening! We were not rushed, which I appreciated. The only negative was!You have to order everything at once but our waiter Charles was wonderful and worked with us. It’s definitely a fun people watching place. The food and cocktails were fabulous. I had an old fashion cocktail. It was very good. We had lobster escargot! Yum!! Spicy cauliflower was a hit! Steak tar tar and an artichoke appetizer. Also we had a spicy Caesar salad, which I would have again if you go don’t miss out on the lobster escargot or the cauliflower. I would go again.

    We went to Fuad's Restaurant the last day of HRW, just to try it out. They had a large selection to choose from and the food was very good. The staff was very attentive and the live music was not so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talking (big plus!). We felt like this was a neighborhood bar/restaurant. Very cozy and welcoming. We do have plans on going again.
