Went to the Mayflower for dinner with friends and our husbands, and we had an amazing time! The food was outstanding, and the customer service was spot on from start to finish. I absolutely loved the octopus — one of my favorites — but honestly, everything we ordered, including the ceviche, was delicious. From the atmosphere to the service, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend this little hidden gem — truly underrated!

I went for my birthday dinner. I was so excited after seeing all the tiktok videos and I was honestly disappointed because i think my expectations were too high. The food was just okay. I did enjoy the lamb chops but i didn't like the potatoes they paired then with also the portions were on the smaller side especially for the prices. The venue was on the small side and I did not expect to seat on the small high chairs I found them to be uncomfortable.

Just had the cherry blossom menu at Mayflower club restaurant - Okame - and WOW! This was sooo good. Traveled all over the world and had a lot of fine dining and I definitely did not expect a restaurant with a night club to be this spectacular. I went with 2 friends - usually very hard to please. We ate so much food and honestly I’m still thinking about it. Appetizers - edamame, gyoza, Asian salad, wraps Entrees - shrimp fried rice, wagyu steak, and sea bass - sea bass was my personal favorite and honestly it tasted just as good, if not better than Nobu! Dessert - lavender ice cream, cheesecake, and some Asian donut Everything was absolutely delicious. My friends and I could not decide which was the best dish because they were all good. Don’t go if you are on a diet. I didn’t have any self control. The staff was spectacular and the ambiance was a cool vibe. Gina, the GM, frequently checked on us to see how we were doing which was such a nice touch. I will absolutely go back again. Bravo!

Aesthetically this restaurant is spot on. It is decorative, fashionable, and detailed pleasing to the eye. Prepare to spend all your money here; the portions are small but pricey. Everything was great except they were filming a reality show during our visit so this came with restrictions and delays. I would come back here but I won’t rush. This is a great spot for a romantic evening or a fun classy night with friends. Either way you will enjoy it.

This place was absolutely amazing! I reserved a VIP table for my sister’s birthday and from the time we walked in, to the time we left, we had exceptional service! A place can be very beautiful but lack great service and this place must be a gem because they have both! We had a blast! The DJ kept us on our feet all night and the vibe overall was amazing! Would definitely book again

I've been here a handful of times for dinner and although it's always been a great experience, somehow it keeps getting better and better each time I go. Some of my favorites: Empanadas with a flakey crust and a delicious ground beef filling and dipping sauce. Ceviche Tropical Just do yourself a favor and order this flavor explosion of fresh fish, mango & habanero. DON'T be afraid of the coconut milk, it's not overpowering and the flavor & creaminess added is ever so subtle and perfectly balances out the heat and acidity from the other ingredients Chefs kiss Many other dishes to recommend, not enough time to write them all out. Also, the service is amazing. This time around I came by myself, and literally everyone treated me like I was there to see my friends Parking is a bit of a struggle ngl, especially at dinner time on a weekend, but if you're patient, there is street parking and eventually you will find a good spot.

Hubby and I had a lovely date night at the Mayflower Restaurant and Lounge, enjoying their Spring prefixed menu. The food was well-seasoned, flavorful, and very tasty. The atmosphere was perfect for a romantic evening or a fun night out.
