Mastro’s

Mastro's Restaurants is a collection of sophisticated, classic steakhouses and sumptuous fish houses that has been consistently hailed by diners and critics alike as "masterful", "high end", one of the "top 10 steakhouses in the United States", and "the preferred steakhouse of celebs and locals". Mastro's sophisticated steakhouses and Ocean Club Seafood locations are known for providing world-class service, highly acclaimed cuisine, and live entertainment in an elegant, energetic setting. Mastro's has an upscale dress code that must be followed. It offers a positive, safe, and supportive work environment where hospitality-minded employees are developed, trained, and rewarded. Its locations can be found in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Texas, and Washington DC.

When it comes to getting opulent in style, Mastro's is about as old-school as it gets. This is a formal-dress-only establishment with dim, arty overhead lights, live music most nights, and a penchant for barrel-aged brown liquor. Its steaks and chops feature a Japanese A5 wagyu, bone-in Kansas City strip, and other location-specific specialties, all of which are wet-aged to maximize flavor and many of which are carved tableside so you can cut your own steak. This is also a place that takes its sides and apps seriously, with dozens to choose from, though skip the steak sashimi, escargot, or lobster cocktail and a massive seafood tower populated with chilled shellfish.
