I went here for my company’s holiday dinner and it was my first time. We had a private room reserved upstairs, which also was the wine cellar. The upstairs is lively and the atmosphere is great.
We had the famous Mickey Vegas as our waiter. I say famous because my co-worker told me he’s been mentioned on citysearch.com, etc as THE waiter to have. We all had a few cocktails before dinner. Mickey was very knowledgable about the menu and the wine list.
My co-worker and I shared a dozen oysters, which were delicious. I had the bone-in filet mignon, which I was told is more flavorful than the filet without the bone. I’ve had better filets at other steakhouses. But, what made Mastro’s so amazing was their lobster mashed potatoes! It’s not on the menu, but they do have it…

and it’s AMAZING!!

The chocolate sin cake was so rich, almost TOO rich. But, the vanilla bean ice cream that came with it had to have been the best vanilla bean ice cream I’ve ever had.

The staff at Mastro’s were all very friendly and personable. Overall, it was a lovely and memorable experience at Mastro’s.

the cheescake is better than their filet mignon. so is their prime rib.

I usually reserve eating here with a group of friends for special occasions. I’ve eaten here several times and my mouth usually starts to salivate in the morning in preparation. I’ve eaten at most of what are considered the best steak houses in LA but none seem to be as good as Mastro’s. To top that off they offer a great atmosphere that adds to the dining experience. They offer several private rooms including one in their wine cellar which I was lucky enough to enjoy when a friend decided to reserve it for his 40th birthday.

They have two floors. The bottom is a quieter more intimate setting while upstairs they have a piano bar that attracts a more spirited crowd. You can also do quite a bit of stargazing here as many celebrities frequent this eatery.

If you are a meat lover and want to experience a great atmosphere I highly recommend you make a trip out to Mastro’s
