Food was fabulous as was the service. The ambience is not as elegant as say Vic and Anthony's or Capital Grille, but the food was OUTSTANDING. Our servers were on top of it as well. No complaints with that at all. Would highly recommend!

We previously dined at the Maestros location in Chicago, which set the bar high and I’m happy to say this one absolutely lived up to the name. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The ambiance was upscale yet comfortable, the food was outstanding, and every dish was executed perfectly. Our waiter truly elevated the evening. He was not only attentive but also impressively knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, offering thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our meal without being pushy. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want an exceptional dining experience, I highly recommend Maestros. It’s consistently top tier.

The setting is lovely, excellent decor and nice views. It feels special and unique in the bar and dining area. The menu offers good variety. We enjoyed a cocktail in the theater first, Sicilian Greyhound was very good. Dinner choice was an Audrey Burger with truffle fries and a wedge salad. Both were tasty & pretty presentation. I’d order these again. Excellent service by our server, Sky.
