When you want an evening where only the best will do you need to go to Mastro’s! From the moment you pull up (either by car or by boat - it’s on the intercoastal) you know you’re in for an amazing experience. They have live entertainment every day of the week, the food is impeccable and the service (we had Selena so not sure of others) was perfect. She became part of our family for the night celebrating a very important and blessed birthday and 1 year anniversary occasion. It was so perfect we’re doing back for day two and bringing the kids!
