It was Valentine’s Day so we knew it would be crowded and loud. So we were cool with that. However the food was not up to its usual standards. The lamb chops were under cooked and the sides were luke warm. We didn’t want to send it back but it was just too much going on and we didn’t want to wait too much longer. We love Maestro’s but will probably NEVER go on Valentine’s Day again.

Quiet night because of the snowstorm. I enjoyed the reuben, Lots of corned beef. Perhaps there could a little more Russian dressing to kick it up a notch. My friend liked the salmon salad. He noted that there was more cabbage than lettuce. Overall, we enjoyed! Good spot before the game.
