Neighborhood Greek seafood spot with a leafy garden, fresh fish, and friendly service; a few reports of rude service and pricing quirks mean experiences can vary.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Mastra delivers solid neighborhood dining through fresh, well-prepared seafood and knowledgeable staff guidance on daily catches, but inconsistent execution—occasional overcooked dishes and bland seasoning—prevents a higher grade. The hidden garden patio is genuinely appealing, though modest street presence limits destination appeal. Worth visiting for seafood lovers seeking authentic Greek taverna experience with fair pricing.
Restaurant Summary
From the street it looks modest, but step through and you find a leafy patio where the mood is warm and unhurried. Servers guide you to the freshest catch and the grill smoke smells like the sea. One diner noted, "they pointed us to the best fish of the day," and the back garden feels calm and tucked away from traffic. The cooking is classic Greek seafood: simple, ingredient-first plates like grilled bream, tender octopus, sardines, and seafood pasta. Expect straightforward seasoning, house wine by the liter, and ouzo or tsipouro to match. Most guests praise freshness and fair pricing for quality, though a minority mention slow peak-time service or dishes needing more seasoning. For families, the menu leans seafood with few kid-targeted options. Some guests reported limited kid-friendliness and occasional brusque service toward children. Safer picks for younger eaters might be fried squid or simple grilled fish, but there is no clear kids menu.
