    Like all M restaurants we have tried so far, M Test Kitchen is amazing. I loved everything we tried, and we tried almost everything! Imaginative, creative food and stellar service. Even the bathrooms had understated elegance. I recommend this restaurant highly for a special occasion.

    What a wonderful dining experience. From our circular booth and view of the kitchen, to our fantastic waitress who walked us through the menu and option, this place gave us the best Italian experience. Meatball appetizer is the best I’ve had, the calamari was so light and fresh, and the steamed mussels had just the right amount of spice to make the broth mouth watering. The 15 layer lasagna is such a delight, and the truffle noodles was the star of the night. Just love the ambiance. What a great date night. Thank you all for giving us a great night!

    Food was out of this world! I got the 16 Oz. Prime Ribeye Oscar style and it was phenomenal. Flavor was amazing, cooked to the perfect temperature, super tender. Our server JT was fantastic. Fun, personable, outgoing, but also gave us great space to enjoy our date night alone. 10/10 would go back and ask for him as our server again.
