Came here for dinner last night and had the most phenomenal dinner. Everything was perfect! We frequent the Beverly Hills Mastro's, but we've been to the Malibu and Costa Mesa locations as well. And I can say that, without a doubt, the Fort Lauderdale location is the best of them all.
First of all, I cannot recommend the outdoor seating enough, especially if you're a party of two. We were seated directly next to the water, enjoying the quiet and privacy and enjoying that soft intracoastal breeze.
And of course, the food was perfect. We had all of our usuals - seared bigeye tuna to start, the A5 wagyu New York strip, the bone-in ribeye, Mac n cheese, button mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, and the butter cake. Everything was delicious, perfectly prepared, and so full of flavor. And for some reason, the butter cake here was better than I've had at any other Mastro's.
And the service is wonderful as well! Everyone was kind and anticipated our every need, never overbearing, perfect in their timing of refills and coming over to check on us. Our waiter, Rob, was the best! And Juliana was phenomenal, an absolute sweetheart who made sure that we had the most incredible time. She is, without a doubt, the reason that this Mastro's surpassed my expectations and ranks as the best location I've been to.
I cannot wait to return the next time I'm in Ft. Lauderdale!
