My aunt and I came here for the seafood. We enjoyed some fresh octopus and some drinks. This specific Mastro’s Ocean Club has a view of the ocean and is next to a mall. I would encourage to make a reservation before arriving because this restaurant gets busy.

It’s was mine and my husbands first time visiting Mastros and it was exceptional! I made the reservation in celebration of my husbands birthday. They called me the day before to ask if I wanted to customize the menus with a personalized birthday message with my husbands name on it( which our server let us keep after the dinner) Our server Ashleigh was truly outstanding! She went above and beyond to make our experience phenomenal! The food was remarkable. From caviar oysters, wagyu beef carpaccio, Caesar salad to our main course of Wagyu filet with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese we indulged with great satisfaction. The live music, a live musician by the name of Henry was also a treat for us! Our server Ashleigh took note of our interest in the live musician so for the complimentary birthday dessert she actually sat us in the bar right in front of the musician himself with my husbands birthday dessert and candle already lit and waiting for us. I find it important to mention the complimentary birthday dessert was a full slice of delicious chocolate cake (not a scoop of ice cream like other establishments are serving -insert eye roll here-) We will definitely be visiting again in the near future and can not recommend Mastros enough!

It was our first time here! My son's decided to bring my husband here for his birthday! The restaurant does look nice and fancy but we got sat in the patio. At first it threw us a Lil off but after our server greeted us he made us feel very comfortable! He gave us a really good service, thank you Fernando for being very attentive! We all enjoyed our food my husband ordered the tomahawk and my son's the rib eye bone in, I had the organic lemon pepper for the sides we ordered mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese, ooohhh let me tell you they were both delicious!

Definitely not a cheap meal, but the price is actually worth it. The food is memorable, and something you will talk about with friends and family for years to come...or at least until your next visit.
The service is amazing. Waitstaff are attentive, but do not hover, plateware and extra dishes disappear seemingly by magic, and the courses are spaced out evenly and in no way rushing you along.
Then the atmosphere. Very pleasant live music, and the mood is lively, but not overwhelming...everyone having a great time.
Again, not cheap, but so worth the money.

We arrived for a birthday dinner celebration. We were not asked if there was a special occasion although we heard others being asked at other tables. I offered that it was my birthday and he said how nice and was not mentioned again even at dessert. I asked for a refill on bread asking for French bread and not the other choices. He then schooled me that bread is an extra charge even though it was mentioned when we ordered it the first We never got the bread.refill. We both ordered medium rare: mine was overcooked and my guest was way undercooked. When I told the waiter and he could see the uneaten steak he just said he will tell the kitchen to get it right next time?
For a very expensive meal on a special occasion it fell far short.
