Mastro's is Overrated!
The dining room is very cramped. You actually have a wide variety of steaks and seafood to choose from. My wife and I ordered a double porterhouse. Now, I've had this steak at other steakhouses, so I have something to compare. I ordered the steak medium. Well, the filet portion of the steak had burnt edges. I've never had this happen before when ordering a steak. I was expecting a mouthwatering steak for this price (around $78, but it was just okay. I was disappointed. I expected better for this type of "high end" restaurant. I did enjoy the side dishes of Mastro's mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The French onion soup had may too many croutons. It needed more stock! I brought my own wine, which I usually do when I eat steak out. However, they charged me a whopping $25 corkage. Way more than I pay at Morton's or Ruth's Chris. I didn't order dessert becasue I was too full from appetizers and dinner. By the way, the crab cakes were dry and had no flavor. I also tried my brother in law's lobster which was also dry as a bone. Overall this restaurant overcooks their food and charges way too much for it. For that amount of money I'd rather go to Beverly Hills and spend less money for better food and ambiance.    [12 Jul 2007 13:53:58]

Good Special Occasion Place
Great bar area and nicely decorated.
The food was outstanding, although everything is a la carte so be prepared for a rather expensive meal.

I've eaten here a few times and I would recommend it as long as you are aware of the prices. The food, service and decor are all outstanding.    [07 Nov 2007 16:58:59]

Great Ambiance for the Fine Diner
I went to Mastro's for the first time last night and was blown away. I had the best pomegranate martini that I've ever had, prepared by the most professional bartender, Joe. The customized seafood tower was a feast for the eyes. My bone-in filet couldn't have been tastier, and the lobster mashed potatoes were mouth-watering. The service was impeccable. Although dinner and service were amazing, the prices are not for the faint-hearted! Dinner for two came to $325 before tip. Seating could be a little less crowded.    [23 Jul 2008 22:09:27]
