Taste :5/5 Environment: 4.5/5 Service:5/5 who can resist the steaks at Mastro's? Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And if you're a seafood lover, you're in for a real treat. The lobster tail is a must-try, and the seafood tower is perfect for sharing with friends—it’s fresh, indulgent, and just so satisfying. The service was impeccable, as always. The staff was attentive and made sure everything was just right. But my absolute favorite part of the meal? The butter cake. Oh my goodness! The moment I took my first bite, I couldn’t stop until it was completely gone.…🥹🥹 so guilty

I’ve been to Mastro’s a good number of times for dinner with friends over the years. However I decided to go to the bar alone after a crappy day at work. The bar staff was pleasant and the live music was Exceptional. The stunning young lady performing that night was so kind and so much fun to engage with. She sang at least four to five of my requests and nailed them all perfectly. I had a few cocktails and the smoked salmon appetizer to eat. I assumed the portion would be small but I was in for a substantial pleasant surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my visit. Can’t wait to come back for some me time again. Cheers!!!!!

Here for restaurant week and here we go! A little backed up maybe because It’s restaurant week so that probably played a role in the service. But my friend got the French onion soup and I got the mambo salad. Both wins there. Then I did the 6oz while he did the filet. Again another good choice. Both of us were happy with the food. Get add ons. I love me a bread basket so we had that too and their fun drinks are good! Found some street parking and only issues I kinda had was in regards to slight delays in service and being checked on. Cute place romantic and cozy. Has a good feel and good spacing

It's always a bit of a gamble with these ostensibly high end steak houses that are also chains. Overall, the food was subpar, the service adequate, and the ambience a bit too noisy and dark at the same time. I started with the foie gras which was actually quite good, and a generous serving. Zero complaints. My French onion soup that followed was disappointing, the soup tasted overly salty and watery at the same time. As for my entree, I had the Japanese A5 wagyu New York cut, and it was sadly just ok. Definitely the worst A5 cut I've ever had. It was both burnt/overdone at the edges and underdone in the interior, and should have cooked more evenly across. Service was fine, very polite and professional, though I did feel misguided a bit on what to expect from the steak. They should either turn up the lights or quieten the restaurant, it's a weird dissonance to have it be that loud and that dark, it should be a fine dining restaurant, not as loud as a night club. Won't be returning. Bourbon Steakhouse on the lfher hand, is light years ahead of Mastro's and recommended if you're looking for an exceptional steakhouse.

I can only think of why this amazing steak house is at a 4.4 and it has to be if people eat at the bar. Your service won’t be as great. The waitress are hustling. If you sit in the dining room the waiters are attentive and professional. Food: best place to get a steak in DC—or many other place. Ask the waiter if they have an off menu special because if you get offered a ribeye wagyu for $300, you should take it. Best steak I’ve ever had. A lot of people don’t want to order sushi from a steak house and I’d agree, but get the sushi as an app, because their rolls are designed by chefs from Cabo and if you’ve been to Cabo—you know the sushi there is the tastiest North America can offer you. Butter cake. I’m drooling. I love Mastros food. Vibe: the live music is lovely. I’ve been there when I thought they were playing a soundtrack because the artist was so lovely.

This place we wandered into before going to Warner Theater. It was ok at best. We sat at the bar. The person singing was wonderful but it was so loud we had to talk so loud and half the time the bartender didn’t hear us. They messed up our order and it took a while for drinks. We decided on a couple appetizers and was going to do main course but food was bland so we opted to leave. I don’t mind spending great money on experiences for culinary delights but this isn’t one of them and the pricing is outrageous for what it is IMO.

Being a VP member at Mastro's Steakhouse is the best. I have been a VP member for years, and my wife and I always come here for dinner. There is no better steak house in Boston. The staff is top-notch, and the service is always excellent. Thank you, Mastro's Ocean Club, for all your hard work and for making our dining experience awesome whenever we come in.

Mastro’s was a delightful experience! We visited to celebrate my friend’s 27th birthday. First, I want to thank the staff for allowing us to dine because we were late and the men were out of dress code. They mentioned “collared shirts” which wasn’t explicitly stated on the website, so keep that in mind if you plan to visit. I think they were so forgiving because it was a Tuesday night, it probably wouldn’t fly on the weekend lol Now on to the food, everything was delicious and everyone in my party was satisfied with their food. Quick food/drink review: Lemon Drop: The lemon drop was really good & came with a bonus shaker so it was like two drinks in one 10/10 Clear Lobster Roll: This was really good, but the sauce was the star of the show. 8/10 Branzino: It was really good and the lemon sauce that came with it was delicious 9/10 Broccolini: Such a simple side but the parmesean made it over the top 10/10 Lobster Mashed Potatoes: Yes, Yes & Yes 10/10 Butter Cake: Its a reason everybody comments about the butter cake more than the steak here! It was huge and I will be coming back for my birthday to get one! 10/10 Overall, I’d love to come back. When you visit order everything you want and you’ll have an amazing time!
