    Takato never disappoints. Food and staff were amazing. We had lamb chops,sea bass, kimchi fried rice, shrimp fried rice, California roll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail sashimi, machine, chocolate lava cake, specialty martini, cosmo, and a spicy margarita. Everything was amazing. The only bad part is this place seems to attract screaming kids with entitled parents with no regard and don't do anything. Not that the restaurant can help that but it is frustrating and definitely has an effect on the ambiance. Regardless, this is definitely one of the top restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale with amazing sushi and so much more.

    Impressed!!! Busy restaurant that delivers great food and service. It was busy holiday night ( we were told one of their busiest nights of the year) and you saw perfect execution from the complimentary valet, to the women who greeted/seated us. Waiter and bussers were dancing throughout the restaurant with purpose and ease. Our waiter, Hector knows his menu and was attentive, personable and cheerful. ( I was impressed with other waitstaff nearby. ) An expertly trained team. The food was sublime. Every ingredient balanced with nuance.We tarted with rock shrimp appetizer and the Cacio & pepe with lobster — so delicious. We ordered the specials- stuffed pork chop and I had osso buco. I had to have the Italian ricotta cheesecake with mascarpone. Our compliments to the chef.Outstanding!!!!! It is worth repeating that even on their busiest night , every detail from service to food was perfectly executed, We will be back!!!!

    Christmas dinner at Mastro’s was fantastic. The food, as always is amazing…perfectly seasoned and presented. They serve love on a plate at Mastro’s! The staff is always warm and welcoming when I return. Preston, the manager stopped by the table to insure everything was satisfactory. David & Steve were very gracious in greeting us. Stefan provided excellent service throughout the evening. It is a pleasurable experience dining at Mastro’s each and every time. I can’t wait to return!
