We love a stop at Maestro’s before a play. The service is always impeccable. Our personal favorite server last season was Wes, but they are all amazing. The food is fun and titled to match the play showing. Some dishes have been better than others, but nothing we have been served has ever been bad. They also go above and beyond to accommodate food allergies as one in my party has them, and this makes dining so much easier to know she is safe and the staff cares.

Had never been before but will definitely be back. Loved the price fixe. Loved the food options.
I will say 1 odd thing was when the bill arrived there was an upcharge for titos vodka in my specialty cocktail. I did not ask for Tito’s. I seldom drink so can’t tell the difference and usually just go for rail. Thought it was odd not to ask beforehand.

Would not recommend!!
Over priced and the food was mediocre at best. We were a party of 4.
We were there before a show 1-1-26. The menu online that day was NOT the menu presented. When we questioned it, we were told the one online was the December menu and no one changed it to the January one. Due to dietary restrictions there was no entree on the menu that appealed to me while there was one on the menu posted online. We always check online menus before going to a restaurant.
The manager said the chef could make 2 of the entrees of the online menu however, neither was the one I planned on. She said I could just have the soup and salad, which was fine, and said it would be a lesser charge.
We were shocked to see we were charged $38.95 for my soup and salad!!
That’s ridiculous! There was no time to even discuss this then as we needed to get to the theater.
The other 3 in our group said their meals were mediocre at best. Steaks were OK, green beans had way too much garlic, and both soups were way too salty.
Definitely not worth what they charge. Yes, its convenient before a show, but that’s it.
We have tickets for an upcoming show next month and planned to go to Maestro’s before but now definitely will not.

We tried their buffet on Easter Sunday, it was pretty good with a good selection. From shrimp, oysters, lobster bisque, prime rib to salmon, rice, salad, and dessert. The service was great, the mimosas were okay.

I would first like to say the food was not the issue and it was very good. The service is why I am giving this place such a low rating. Our server Kylee was awful. She was very dismissive and seemed like it was her first day on earth. She forgot many of our requests and was not attentive to any of our needs. We asked to speak to the manager and were told the manager was fired and that they do not have one. The dessert was good but would have been better if we didn’t end up having to wait for our check for 20 minutes after finishing it. Overall, I don’t think my husband and I will be returning due to the service.

We were never served our main course. We had soup and salid bar, one glass of wine. (Soup was very salty, rolls were in the warmer too long and hard along the outside) Waitress kept apologizing for delay, but still no food. Manager never came to the table. We almost missed the show at the nearby theater.

We had a wonderful time. The waiter was attentive. The buffet salad bar was well stocked and our meal was great. It was our 36th Anniversary and the waiter must have told the chef because my chocolate dessert (meant to resemble Alps because we were seeing The Sound of Music) came with a sweet Happy Anniversary message.

This was a fun pre-show experience. The menu is created for the show (see picture), so it changes regularly. There seems to always be a vegan option. The menu is also prix fixe so you get an appetizer table, main course, and dessert choice for one price. There are also choices for wine, soft drinks, and coffee. It is a small, intimate setting which is also nice, and reservations are required. Service was amazing – our server was very attentive and very personable.

A wonderful dining experience prior to a show or for a date night. Excellent service from staff. Everyone was kind and attentive. The menu was a clever play of Hamilton for the show run. The food was superb!

I’m conflicted about my rating on this establishment because I frequently visit the Straz and I really enjoy the convenience of being able to dine onsite. Unfortunately the food is nothing to write home about. Not bad, not special- just average food, which is disappointing considering the price point.
I sure wish they’d offer a salad soup only option (without the entree). I really appreciated that the server explained
which items are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free. The only thing that I flat out thought was not good was the coffee. Weak brew and not served hot enough. You’ve gotta have great coffee when you’re serving desserts with every meal. And especially when you are charging an additional four bucks for it!
I love and support the Sttaz and the performing arts, but this is not a place that I would choose first if there were other alternatives within a block or two of the theater.
With the construction Happening at the Straz, my hope is the restaurant will get a bit of a makeover, refreshing their offerings,
decor and especially the lighting. They need a more modern vibe to attract the younger generations. The best thing about Maestros, aside from the location is the servers! Excellent service Model, if only the food and the overall dining experience could match the level of service I would come here before every show.
