Mako’s On The Creek - Cibolo

Super excited to try this place. It wasn't busy for a Friday night. Really disappointed once we ordered 2 of their $30 meals... one being the paella and the other being the scallops. The scallops were served on the risotto. The risotto was not good at all, my husband agreed, dry, bland and crunchy. Sadly, the waitress didn't offer a complementary side to substitute. The collards were great, though we had to pay for them. So basically got 3 scallops for $11 each? : Boo.

Nice but casual steakhouse. Very impressed by the fried Brussels sprouts. Boneless ribeye was tender and juicy but I have to admit I wasn?t expecting the steak to be pre-sliced and I think I prefer it not to be. Was only one of a few tables for Sunday dinner. Service was very good.

My husband and I love coming here on special occasions and date nights. There is no other place like Mako 's. The food is always outstanding and the creek area is like a meadow. My absolute favorite dish is the Diver Scallops they are always perfectly cooked, buttery, and light. The pea tendril risotto is comfort food at it 's finest! The poached pear with TRUE vanilla bean ice cream dessert is decadent and another one of my all time favorites. However, everything on the menu is eclectic, exciting and delicious! From Spanish octopus to watermelon mint gazpacho you will not be disappointed. Their wedge salad with lardon sprinkles is a dream. I can 't wait to come back : other succulent staples include their Seafood Paella which includes fragrant saffron risotto, Bacon Fat Braised Collards that are dripping in deliciousness, Salmon Tartare (salmon chicharron is a must try , and Chickpea Crusted Salmon the moussaka is warm and full of tasty spices. So many great options and reasonable prices with super sweet waitstaff.

Great ambiance on the patio, enjoyed the live guitarist. Hospitable service. A bit pricey for the area, but wanted to try it once. Enjoyed the cajun chicken and the burger.

The server we had was fantastic. Just wanted to state that first (5 stars for service) The food however, wasn't good. It was poorly made, burnt, tasted like fast food and was way overpriced. I couldn't believe they were charging $20 a plate. This place has so much potential ans it saddens me to place this review..but you can't charge high prices for low quality food.
