    I recently celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Mastro’s, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to the amazing staff and our incredible waiter, Rice. From the moment we arrived, the team greeted us warmly, with many wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday, which set a festive and welcoming tone. Rice’s service was truly exceptional. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made thoughtful recommendations that elevated our dining experience. Every detail, from the timing of the courses to ensuring our glasses were never empty, was handled with care and precision. What stood out even more was the personal touch the entire team brought to the birthday celebration. The beautifully presented dessert and the genuine enthusiasm from the staff made my girlfriend feel so special. Rice’s professionalism made the evening perfect. Mastro’s went above and beyond to create a memorable night for us. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for Rice if you want an exceptional dining experience.
