i love it.
love it. love it. love it.

who doesnt love meat, onions, fries and rice???

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.

how come i can’t do 4 1/2 stars?

lobster bisque was too fishy. i was expecting a lot more.
petite filet mignon just melted in my mouth.
the truffle mac and cheese had to be the best mac & cheese i’ve ever had! the mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon was also good, but couldn’t beat the mac & cheese.

the service could have been better. our orders took awhile to come out, even when the table next to us (who ordered with our waiter at the same time as us) got their entrees 20 minutes before we did.

overall, the food was delicious. ambience is nice.

I love Opus. They used to have the chef’s tasting menu available all the time. But now it’s Tuesdays and Wednesdays by reservations only. It’s worth all the trouble. The portions are small, but the food is amazing.

Crabcakes were way too salty. Mashed potatoes were way too buttery. The food is whatever… but the atmosphere is good. Supposedly, the smores are great…

All you can eat brazillian bbq… wonderful buffet… i LOVE this place. YES, it’s expensive. But, eat your money’s worth and you’ll be just fine. Their potato salad is TO DIE FOR.
