Very expensive for tasteless overcooked lobster. Waited over an hour for another one which wasn’t much better. Too noisy for conversation. Wouldn’t return.

Mother’s Day dinner. Service was excellent, but the food was average. Fries burned; they charge for bread without telling you, Brussels sprout just average. Sea-bass is actually not sea-bass ( it s corvina, red snapper). Steak was good. Desert is just like Ihop sweet and suggary

The food and service from our waiter was excellent. However, after I had made a reservation three weeks prior, they had made us wait 15 minutes when we got there. When they sat us, they took us to a private and empty room- it was so weird. When we asked if we can be seated in the busier, main dining room, they said the room they sat us in was the main dining room. It clearly wasn’t. It must of been a private banquet room they converted- no music, no people, no ambience. Front staff was rude and although we can’t prove it, we feel that we were profiled. Unacceptable to feel that way from the front staff.

Amazing Mother's Day meal. Enjoyed the live entertainment. Only issue, our white table cloth had a small , but noticeable, stain. Very uncommon for such a high end restaurant. One of my favorite restaurants. The steak was cook to perfection, and the butter cake never fails. So deligh.

Very disappointing visit. The food was not up to Mastro’s usual standards - overcooked steak, lobster and pork. The noise was almost unbearable due to a large party with several small children. Our waiter was very good, however. Spending this kind of money with such disappointing results means that we will not be back.

The normal size of the meat. Was reduced . They sliced to make it less obvious . I ordered a 12 oz and it doesn’t look like it’s sliced from a 12 oz bone in fillet meat . Very disappointing

Mastros used to be one of our favorite places in the desert. Sadly, I don’t think they have rebounded well from covid and are suffering from the labor shortages. We have had a few bad experiences there recently and it’s just really disappointing more than anything else because they used to be the best. It just isn’t worth the price any more. We had a poor experience in the dinning room, so we made reservations for the bar this time because we thought that might be easier. This time we were ignored for long periods of time and one of the server’s assistants was shockingly rude. To Mastro’s credit, they knew they fell short and they compt our cocktails and dessert. They did this without us saying anything. We didn’t complain, offer feedback, or ask for anything. So, that was a nice gesture. However, there was no simple “sorry” or explanation offered for the poor evening. The food is still excellent, but Mastro’s is, or was, about more than just excellent food. It was about the whole experience. To us, the experience we have received the last few times is just no longer worth the price tag. Thankfully there are other delicious and wonderful restaurants to go to who seem to have figured out how to offer what Mastro’s used to.

I write this review with great reticence as I’ve always loved Mastro’s Steakhouse. I’ve even written reviews in the past, touting our local Mastro’s as perhaps the best in the chain, having eaten at a number of different Mastro’s restaurants. The service has always been top notch, as has been the food. Which is why I had no qualms about taking the server’s recommendation for us to split a Wagyu steak and a lobster tail, along with a few side dishes. That was a big mistake. The steak came out and was maybe half an inch thick and wasn’t evenly well marbled as you’d expect from a steak that I later discovered was close to $200. The server really should have told me that in advance, as I probably would have made a different decision. Unfortunately, it was the most fatty, chewy piece of meat I’ve ever gotten at a restaurant. It was nearly inedible. To add insult to injury, the lobster tail was so dry I made a joke with my date about how she liked her lobster jerky, trying to make light of the situation. All in all it was a huge disappointment. Had I been alone or with friends I would have sent it back, but I didn’t want to cause drama being on a first date. We didn’t even order a bottle of wine and dinner was $650. If it had been $200 or even $250 I’m not sure I’d have made an issue about it, but this experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth and candidly I’m not sure that I will ever be back to a Mastro’s property in the future. Very sad, because up until last Tuesday night this was one of my absolute favorite restaurants and a great special occasion destination.

The rib eye steaks were tough- couldn’t really eat them. Our waiter was willing to have fresh steaks made for us but we declined. He had a dessert platter made for us to make up for the steaks. We love Mastros- guess there is such a thing as a tough cow.

Fantastic service and food. I would go more often if it wasn’t so obnoxiously loud in there. It’s really hard to have a conversation with people at your own table because the music and guests’ noise from the lounge caries to the dining room, which is loud from everyone trying to talk over the lounge noise. So if you are wanting a romantic dinner or even dinner with your family which is what I was doing, this isn’t the spot. If you are looking for a very lively loud environment for a get together with friends that you may not care if you hear what they are talking about, then this is your spot! I recommend the crab cakes, the dry aged bone in tenderloin (or any of their steaks). There specialty sauce to top steaks with are delicious. Especially the bone marrow or kobe sauce. For dessert, the butter cake is always a good idea!
