" An unforgettable dining experience! I went to Mako for a special celebration, and they delivered! The service made us feel valued every step of the way. Each mouthful was sensational; the fish was just perfect. The only downside was we didn't get enough to leave us full. I’m looking forward to trying it again soon, perhaps with a larger party. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has mastered the art of omakase! Each dish was sophisticated and well thought out. The servers were attentive without being intrusive, making the dining experience seamless. My only reservation is that I was still slightly hungry after the meal – they could definitely improve on portion sizes. Otherwise, a phenomenal experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Mako last night. The ambiance was chic, and the staff was amicable. The food was pretty good; we appreciated the variety in the omakase menu, but some dishes felt uninspired. Overall, an enjoyable experience, but I have had better sushi at places with a more authentic vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" If fine dining is on your radar, Mako is an experience you shouldn’t miss! From the moment we entered, the staff welcomed us warmly. The food was fantastic; each dish was a delight, especially the sashimi. Although I felt a little underwhelmed by the portion sizes for the cost, the taste was worth it. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Mako, and it was the best decision! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel special. The omakase experience was nothing short of spectacular - every bite was delicious, and the fish was incredibly fresh. The ambiance was upscale yet welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait to return in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to experience authentic Japanese cuisine, and while Mako offers high-quality sushi, I found it somewhat Americanized. The dishes were beautifully plated, but I missed the traditional feel. Service was attentive but a little too calculated; I prefer a more casual vibe. The meal was enjoyable, but next time I'll try a more traditional spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mako’s omakase was a glorious exploration of Japanese cuisine! The freshness of the fish shone through every plate, paired seamlessly with rich flavors. The environment is relaxed, which suited my dinner with close friends perfectly. But alas, I found the portions lacking; leaving somewhat less satisfied in quantity, but not quality. " (*Curated Review*)
