I made a reservation for an 8:00 dinner on Valentine’s Day. When I walked in with my date smoke bellowed out of the restaurant. Even worse, the staff was clueless when I told them I had a reservation. Not honoring the reservation all they did was gave me a shoulder shrug and said maybe we could be seated by 9:00. Between the smoke and the look of the food, them not honoring our reservation ironically turned out to be good thing!

I have eaten here in the summer and had a wonderful experience, but off season was a different experience. The lights went out multiple times during our dinner, service was slow/non-existent, and the entire restaurant was filled with smoke once the chef started cooking. Luckily the food was good!

Air was not working and room was very stuffy- night was to brisk to eat outside. Vegetables were tasteless and water logged. Tuna portion was very small and lacked flavor. Wait staff was very good.

Food was delicious, service was great. We were initially set up to eat at a table that had a lot of sun through the window. Since it was an early reservation, they were easily able to move our spot. It was a little warm in there, and it is smaller than I had imagined from photos, but great food. Bathroom was clean as well.

Very intimate dining room , always with excellent food. Our waitress, who usually does breakfast, was excellent, attentive and did a great job taking care of four of us. Highly recommend the Ginger Ahi and the Teriyaki Ahi! Both cooked to perfection and very tasty.

Love the creative items on the menu-far from typical! A BYOB which is great too. Saturday night at the Shore in August gets very busy. Parking difficult, staff very busy and attentive. Have been before and will be back next Shore trip! 😎

The food was very good, but from the time we ordered, it was over an hour before we got our food. Also, our server didn't have answers to most of our questions. I would recommend it for the food if you have a long time to wait.

Love this local BYOB! The ingredients and menu selections are always fresh and seasonal. The specials are creative and delicious. They know how to make fish! The servers make you feel at home and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We went on early side and it was quiet. Have been there before at a later hour and the noise level was moderate and the restaurant was quite busy. Definitely recommend!

Salad was fresh. I had salmon topped with crab, over asparagus. The salmon & crab were fresh and tasted great! There were only 2 very skinny pieces of asparagus, though. Overall excellent food at a good price. Being a byob is a big plus!

Pleasant staff & small but adequate interior. Nothing was technically "wrong" but the food was just ok, and no real reason to return within Sea Isle vs. the other options. Got Mako Bites - tasty but very over-seasoned with blackening spice / salt. I ordered the seared tuna which was nice, veggies were fine, but seaweed salad was horrifically "fishy" tasting; have never had a seafood salad taste that like that previously. Wife ordered their special chicken dish - the piece of chicken was massive and texture was so-so. Again, it was fine, just would not return or recommend.

Excellent food and service! So many great menu selections made it hard to choose, but the crab soup was delicious, and the mako and salmon entrees were terrific. Cannoli dessert topped it off. We are very happy to have this year-round BYOB within a short driving distance and will definitely return before the summer crowd begins.

I made a reservation for Mako's on OpenTable for 1/28/18 at 7 pm for my wife and I. I have the confirmation but when we arrived the restaurant was closed. Confirmation #2109757130. We enjoy eating at Mako's so this was a bummer. Found out it was a glitch with OpenTable not Mako’s. We dined again on 2/17/18 and it was great.

Service was super excellent. Our server was pleasant, timely and smiled easily. She gave excellent advice as to the menu. The food was very good. I ordered the Blackened Mako. The combination of the blackened fish, apples, onions and chutney was designed excellent. All of it together enhanced the experience. My wife ordered the crab stuffed tilapia. Again, far better than expected. My only knock on the place is that the portion size was small for the price. FYI: like lots of Jersey restaurants, its BYOB.

This is a great restaurant with a lot of gluten free options that are delicious. The service is always great and the chef is very accomodating. It is also a great spot for breakfast.

Makos never disappoints! We had a glitch in that open table took a reservation for us on a Thursday nite when Makos was closed. We were so upset as we drove 2+ hours to get there and it was closed. Silver lining was that we were able to dine for lunch Friday and the food was amazing as usual. The manager was understanding and apologized for the glitch. Highly recommend the pasta with crab and shrimp in pink sauce. Worth traveling for! Also don't miss the crab bisque which we have had many times and is outstanding.

Mako's was closed at the time of my reservation. The place was locked up tight. Not sure why "Open Table" took my reservation! I'll give them another try in the future, but will call them directly for a reservation.

Excellent food choices, especially if you are gluten free. I had the Ahi tuna with orange ginger sauce and it was cooked to perfection,rare. I have Celiacs and was so excited that I could select my dinner from the regular menu,even the soups were gluten free. Mango habanero Makos was delicious, per my husband.This was our second visit, and not our last!
