Mastro's Ocean Club

Beautiful location! We were seated at a table that was a bit cramped and in a high traffic area. I mentioned it to a person in our party. Someone must have heard because within 5 minutes, a gentleman came over offering another table for us with more room and a fantastic view! The service at this restaurant is excellent. They pay attention to every detail and even have restroom attendants. My Chilean sea bass was perfection and the best macaroni and cheese I have had. The others enjoyed the tender rib eye. The brussel sprouts and lobster potatoes were okay. I did not care for the desert, but others enjoyed it. They have excellent, generous cocktails. The experience was amazing because of the attention you are given. Highly recommend!

I've been to 4 different Mastro's and this one is by far my favorite. The service is always top notch, with a team of long time servers always at the ready. The live piano / singer is such a nice touch. The food is delicious and everything is thought of - super hot plates, they portion and serve the food on everyone's plates. Martinis are given to you in the shaker so it's really like 2 martinis. Always a good vibe for a date night or celebration. It has amazing atmosphere but the restaurant looks slightly dated. Oh and corkage is pretty reasonable, I think around $35.

Mastro’s Ocean Club – Where Quality, Vibe & Ritual Meet If there’s one place I keep coming back to without hesitation, it’s Mastro’s Ocean Club. This spot isn’t just a restaurant—it’s part of my rhythm. I always order the 22 oz Ribeye, cooked perfectly every single time, and paired with their creamy mashed potatoes. The wine list? Loaded with bold, dry reds that complement the meat like a dream. And don’t even get me started on their Espresso Martinis—they’re genuinely among the best I’ve had. OpenTable rarely has prime-time availability (understandable for a place this good), but I always go straight to the bar. That bar has its own energy. Over time, I’ve met a few regulars—it’s like our little unspoken club. The bartenders? Absolute pros. They know us now and often try to save us a spot. The food keeps me coming back. The service keeps me loyal. And the crowd? The kind of people who know why they’re here—stylish, calm, grown-up energy. And the live music? Absolutely stunning. Most nights there’s a pianist and a great vocalist—smooth, classy, and never overpowering. It adds that final touch… the kind that makes you pause, sip your drink, and just feel this is exactly where I want to be. Mastro’s never gets old. It only gets better.

Had a great night at Mastro’s Ocean Club – Newport Beach! 🌊🥩🍣 The steaks were juicy, Twin Lobster Tails were rich and buttery, and the Oysters + Seared Bigeye Tuna were super fresh. Bar was lively, music was great 🎶 — perfect vibe for a night out. Only downside: Wi-Fi wasn’t strong. But everything else? 🔥🔥🔥 Highly recommend for a fancy dinner or date night!

I made a reservation through Dale who accommodated our request for a window table so we could have the best view over an early dinner. Our server for the evening, Dennis, was excellent! Overall the service is exceptional here every time I come, down to the staff that deliver the food and clean up afterwards. I’ve eaten in both the bar area and dining area and just different vibe and experience in each area. The dining area seems quieter and more intimate. People watching is much more fun in the bar area. Started out with a Carajillo which is so good here! One of the best! For starters our table had 1/2 a dozen oysters (3 west coast and 3 east coast) and the hamachi in the ponzu sauce. I’ve had the one in the truffle before but the ponzu was pretty tasty. For the main I had the bread crumb Chilean sea bass. Bread crumbs were perfectly crispy without being burnt and the fish was perfectly cooked and soft. Sides we had the lobster mashed and the roasted Brussels sprouts. Lobster mashed was exceptional! Other friends had steaks. Everything was perfection and tasty. We jokingly told Dennis we were celebrating an early Mother’s Day and he amused us by bringing our table a butter cake and cheesecake. Such an amazing dinner! You would not leave here disappointed.

Had dinner at Ocean Club for my boyfriend's birthday. I went alone few months prior with my friends visiting from Texas & remembered the amazing service from Stephanie (with Cupertino assisting) & glad I was able to request her again. Everything was phenomenal! We usually go to Mastro's Costa Mesa but this was a treat since it was my boyfriend's first time here. We were seated facing towards the ocean and got to see the sunsetting! Service is always top tier. Even the small changes they have made since my last visit were nice - squeezing fresh lemon on the hot towels to wrapping & tying in a bow the birthday menus is small but takes things up a notch. We ordered a dirty martini & French 77, seafood tower (oysters, shrimp & lobster), truffle mushrooms, creamed spinach, filet w/ lobster & rib eye w/ dungeoness crab, buttercake & a mocha. We ended up bringing a ton of leftovers home! Even the valet were so kind. They took some pictures for us with the sunset in the background and made sure everything was just right. We will definitely be coming back!

We had a great experience here! Our server was attentive and kind, the drinks were timely and extremely tasty, and the food did not disappoint. As an added bonus, there was an excellent musician on site. Win, win. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed an amazing group dinner in a private room. We hade a sunset view. The maitre d and his team did an incredible job attending to all needs from seating to drinks and food. The cocktails with the dry ice “smoke” were a good touch. I had the incredible and completely edible 22 oz ribeye medium temperature. My wife had the rack of lamb. We had shared sides including mushrooms, broccoli, garlic mash, and Gorgonzola Mac cheese. Lots of left overs. The wine pairing was perfect. We also had the perfect house warm butter cake dessert. Can’t wait to do repeat!

1- services was excellent. My friends and I didn't know what to get and the server explained everything and patiently helped us decide 2- great ambiance and live music 3- food was amazing!!!! Wowwwwww The filet was so juicy. The truffle butter added an incredible flavor. Lobster was good The broccolini was incredible. Like, I couldn't get enough. The mac & cheese was delicious. The bread basket was good. The garlic mash was incredible. The drinks were good. They were struggle. Good amount.

Came with a group of 11 for dinner on a Saturday night. Seated at the time of our reservations. Ordered our drinks and followed up with main courses and sides. Steaks were very good served on hot plates so they continue cooking at the table. Everything was well seasoned and tasted good. Sides weren't great but the proteins were well received. Restaurant was fairly noisy, especially for a restaurant that bills itself as fine dining. Mark was our server and was fantastic.

The best in food, drink, service and ambiance. You can't get any better. Tough to get a reservation.....but worth it.

Mastro's Ocean Club always delivers an exceptional dining experience with top-notch flavors and quality dishes. I love to order family style here to get a taste of everything. We ordered: - The branzino fish which had a lemon zest and herb flavor profile, it was fresh and perfectly prepared. -The 16-ounce New York strip which is always perfectly cooked. -For our sides the broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes which complimented our main dishes perfectly. All of which were perfectly prepared and delicious. Their desserts deserve special mention, especially the butter cake. Mastro's is famous for it, and for good reason. At first, I was hesitant when I learned it had cream cheese, but you can't even taste it... it simply melts in your mouth with its rich, buttery sweetness. The ice cream on top is the highlight for me. The espresso cake was another standout, with its bold coffee flavors and decadent gooey layers that made it the perfect way to round out the meal. The service was attentive and professional, though we did feel a bit rushed at times, as they asked to clear the table about six times throughout the meal. While this didn't overshadow the delicious food, a slightly more relaxed pace would have made the evening perfect. Thanks to the heaters and beautiful live music, I was vibing and had a great time anyway.

Absolutely loved this place!! Been wanting to come for years and finally had the opportunity to go with friends. Had the porterhouse steak and my BF got the ribeye. Both were amazing, tender, flavorful and we devoured it all. The rest of my group also enjoyed their meals. Service was top notch and our server, Mark was awesome. We made sure that we got dessert too even if we claimed that we couldn't eat another bite. Lol Oink Oink

We came here again for dinner on Thursday night 11/28 which was Thanksgiving and it was delicious! They had a Stone Crab claw for $99 which I thought was ridiculously overpriced but so is everything else here so why not!! lol My martini was a beautiful concoction of house infused orange vodka and cran and it was so STRONG it rolled my socks up and down. The dry ice made it look so smoky and spooky! We also indulged with lobster mash and that was extremely decadent. My ahi tuna salad was mediocre so don't order that! The mushrooms were buttery with a hint of garlic. The service is A+++ here and our waitress was a doll! I highly recommend!!

We went to Mastros for my husbands birthday. Made a reservation well in advance and secured a reservation via OpenTable. It was confirmed a few days before. I noted in the reservation that it was my husbands birthday. We got there early and were asked to sit at the bar and start with a drink. We were shown to a bar seat and ordered a Dirty Martini and Blantons Old Fashioned. Both were excellent. mastros martinis are expensive but a very generous pour. Almost two martinis in one. Our table was ready and a hostess knew where we were seared R the bar and brought us to our table. A waiter even brought my drink to the table so I wouldn't have to walk through the restaurant holding it. Very demure, very mindful. We ordered the hamachi sashimi (excellent), split the House Salad (excellent), I got one-half of a twin lobster tails (excellent and a good amount of lobster for less than $40), a filet mignon (always good but it was very salty), creamed spinach (did you know they do half portions of sides?!?) and Mastros potatoes ( this is mashed potatoes with all the toppings of a baked potato mixed in) and a seasonal butter cake (not as good as the original) Both our waiters knew it was my husbands birthday and wished him a happy birthday. They also brought out a piece of cheesecake for him- so thoughtful! I had to sit looking at a wall so my husband could have a great view of the dining room which bummed me out. All in all a great meal with excellent service but my stomach hurts from how salty it all was.

Horrible service. We came here on 1/13/25 to celebrate our friend's birthday - six adults and five children. Our waitress wasn't very attentive or caring. She forgot to bring us our bread basket we requested and dinner ware. We had to remind her three to four times. We ordered three Porterhouse steaks, two of them tasted bland. We spent over $600 + tip for dinner that had subpar customer service and bland steaks. Please see photo - the bill was spilt in half. I initially left a review with Open Table since they asked for one. One of the managers named Sean R. emailed me. But after two follow up emails and leaving two voicemails - i figured he ghosted me. Very unprofessional and bad managerial skills.

Ric is a great manager! Seafood tower is amazing. Everything is so fresh and delicious. My parents best meal ever for mom's 80th! They personalized her menu which was so fun. Will be back

I'm VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED at tonight's service. ESPECIALLY IT WAS MY ANNIVERSARY DINNER. It took them 30-45mins to deliver our rather basics cocktail orders and when asked why service was so slow we were told the bar was backed up even though the bar was half empty when we walked past by to use the restroom. While other tables around us order and got serviced. Was it because our table was a majority of Asians and the other tables around us were White? When dinner finally did arrived it seemed like an after thought for the bus boy to clear our bread plates from an hour and half earlier even though 3 bus boy were standing there for the rest of service ultimately dinner took over 3 hours to complete and we didn't even order appetizers only mains and dessert. There were periods when we didn't see our waitress and the bus boy didn't check on our tables for 20mins at least. My partner who is white has been to Mastros countless times and has never experienced such lackadaisical and inattentive service. Makes me wonder if Mastros is only a restaurant where white patrons expect to get high end service. On top of that I gave 20% tip to an AWFUL SERVICE!!!

Service by Travis and his team were impeccable. The food was perfect as always and we always seem to order to much. Rack of Lamb perfectas usual. Mushroom, sweet potato fries, mashed potatoes, lobster mac and cheese.... Always perfect. Our favorite dessert is the pound cake but tonight we had pecan pie as well. Both were incredibly delicious and tasty. We had a fantastic table which was against a window but in the mix of things. Very loud with live music but the ambiance was a fun for a Friday night! Thank you for another fabulous meal!

Most amazing birthday dinner ever. Our server, Mark, was so amazing. He was so personable and friendly. Next time we come we are asking for him! My boyfriend and I sat down and immediately noticed that the menu said "Happy Birthday Bella!" on the top. We ordered some drinks, fyi they have the best mocktails ever. They had a guy singing and playing the piano and he was so amazing! The restaurant was so alive and full of energy. We've gone to the one in South Coast, but this one is by far our favorite. They then brought out a gorgeous birthday desert and compted part of it for my birthday. Kindest staff ever and best restaurant experience we've had in a while!

This location will always be our go to for a special occasion dinner. This time it was for a retirement dinner. I've been here a few times and usually try to time our reservations (make one) around sunset. It's beautiful being in the area for it. From the beautiful venue, atmosphere and excellent food, everything is carefully thought-out. You may even spot a celebrity dining every now and then Everything is priced as you would expect for a meal like this. Personal favorite is the bone in ribeye, just enough fat and flavor. Cooked perfectly to our liking. Seared tuna was delicious, we ate everything on the plate. Don't think of this place as just a steakhouse as their seafoods are delicious as well. They've changed their menu over the years, some in good ways, some not so much. One thing is their new roasted clean esquites just isn't as good as their previous cream corn. We always tend to order a lot when we come here as you see from our pictures. Dessert butter cake was buttery and flavorful. Service is excellent from all staff members. One negative I will say about this particular visit was the lack of support for dietary restrictions. One of our party members is on a low sodium/salt for a health issue. Our server, while knowledgeable, seems to basically shrug off our request to lower the salt content in the dishes saying "it's not too salty, you'll be fine." Instead of at least seeing what he can, it just rubbed us the wrong way. While the rest of the service was excellent, that response was well noted in our dinner.

We came here for our anniversary dinner. Made reservations a couple weeks in advanced, I probably should have requested earlier and special seating because we missed the sunset, but also we didn't get seated in the nice main part of the restaurant. Instead we got seated in a corner area and the window view was the parking lot so make sure to request seating if that's what you want. Food wise we got so much food which was great! We started with two cocktails that were light and refreshing. The ribeye was a perfect medium and paired with the mac and cheese, creamed spinach, and gnocchi we ordered. Everything was very heavy and rich, so a really nice meal for a one a year occasion. We had a lot leftover so brought everything home (ribeye bone included)! Since we came to celebrate our anniversary we also received a complimentary butter cake which always ends the dinner right! I think service was standard for this kind of restaurant, but nothing stood out to me in my opinion that was different. Still good overall though. Would maybe go back again another time for a special occasion

I will say our waiter David and our experience was literally 5/5, the food, the ambiance and the views, the music playing in the back was all great!!!! BUT I am giving a 2 solely bc one of the bussers bagged our food to go and didn't bag our steak! It was a $175 dollar steak (A5 Japanese Wagyu) and I literally barely touched it bc I was so full, i specifically asked if he can box it for us with the rest of our food. I trusted him and when I checked when we got home, NOPE no steak! Usually I don't care but that steak was soooo expensive, and I didn't even eat it! It totally ruined my whole night and I'm so pissed off!!!! My husband tried calling and left a message and no one even called back or anything! Ugh I have a good review too of their food. The lobster Mac and cheese is to die for, the creamed spinach is so flavorful, and the steak (from the literally one bite) I took was amazing. I'm just so angry at the waste of the food and my money. I also recommend the Hennessy Sidecar drink. You can bring your own wine btw just have to pay a cork fee. Oh and Check your to go orders! They throw it away. Just so irritated at that service part.

Amazing as usual. Rib eye, seafood, wine and live music. What more could you ask for.

Service is top notch! Interior of the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous! Amazing place to casually go to the bar area, date night, large parties, etc.! They have a secluded room that can fit up to 40 people and beautifully decorated. I went on a Monday night and there was live music and packed! Food is great and our large portions! You can definitely share sides! They have a great cocktail selection!

First time here for Christmas Day and it did not disappoint. Not as crowded as Thanksgiving which was very nice. Unlikely Thanksgiving, we were seated immediately with a nice ocean view. Service was good as usual. Tried the hamachi with crispy onions for the first time and it was so good! Loved the truffle sauce and the hamachi was very fresh and expertly prepared. For the mains we went with my all time favorites to share including a bone in ribeye, creamed spinach, and mac and cheese. Also tried the seasonal cinnamon pecan butter cake which was excellent!

We had a great night, nice ambiance and good food. Thank you Jasmine our server for taking care of us. Shout to the valet crews as well.

The chillean sea bass was the probably the best I've ever had. Their martinis are huge in fact they give you the shaker which almost gets you another martini. Also their warm butter cake was better than Nicks! The music ( piano and singer) was first rate - singer reminded me of Nora jones .

We sat at the bar yesterday for Thanksgiving and enjoyed the scallops appetizer as well as oysters and a sushi roll. All very good! Bartenders were nice. Service was good. Will definitely come back. This is one of our favorite spots! It's normally not easy to get a seat at the bar so we were very pleased!

Terrible service, management has failed in every important sector. The worse Mastros I've ever experienced.

The food is very good and portions are generous for both food and drinks! I was slightly disappointed because we went for our anniversary for the second year in a row. Last year, the server was very kind a brought us an extra complimentary dessert. This year, our service didn't ask us if we were celebrating anything so I told him and he did not bring us anything. We were also seated in the covered outdoor area which lacks the ambience compared to the indoor dining room. While I'm on writing it off completely, I don't plan to come back for another anniversary and would not recommend it to others for special occasions given this experience.

Absolutely decadent sport right here. Don't be coming with a light wallet either. Service was great food was great vibes are immaculate. I went with the 32oz snake river tomahawk cause I'm a big dog who likes big bones. I like a medium + but I ordered medium knowing how thick the steak was and didn't want it to take an hour to cook. I will say it came out closer to well but I didn't mind. Although I could see that being a problem for some people. We also did the thick maple glazed bacon and crab cocktail. The bacon was nuts and the crab was on point. Don't forget your sides, that mac n cheese was stupid good. The views of the water are excellent in the dining area and the bar will happily pour your party drinks while you wait for the table. Don't forget to make a reservation this place was packed when I went.

This is a favorite for our family. We love the food here. My son and I came for dinner on a Thursday night and it was busy. I made reservations a week ago but only the bar seating was available. We were seated quickly and our waters were filled quickly. The majority of the staff was very attentive and kept waters filled and plates picked up. Our waitress was very nice just didn't seem attentive to our table. I ordered the halibut which was quite delicious and my son ordered the hamachi with crispy onions and two sides creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. All of the food came out hot and tasty. We finished our meal with the warm butter cake. The butter cake is divine. I love this place and will definitely return.

I had an amazing time. The service was amazing. Everyone handling our table was exceptionally kind and attentive. The setting was beautiful. I was extremely pleased with the aesthetics. As for food, I don't know if words can describe. The grilled octopus app was the best thing I've ever had! The filet, New York strip, ribeye and sea bass were made to perfection. Butter cake was amazing! Will be back.

Made a reservation in advance and requested a window table. Watched the sunset from the great table we were seated at. The food was spectacular! Everything ordered was delicious! Might even come back for a second time before the trip ends. Service by Erica and the team was excellent. What we had Bread Service Lobster Mashed Potatoes Sauteed Sea Scallops American Wagyu Tomahawk Warm Butter Cake Spectacular food, excellent service and amazing views. Definitely recommending Mastro's!

Me and my fiancé were gifted a dinner at Mastro's for our recent engagement. It was both of our first time dining there. Had a 815 rezo. Amazing quality food. Amazing service. Amazing ambience. Mark was serving us with Fernando at his side. Stellar service from Mark and Fernando. Thank you both!!! Shout out the Host stand and food runners. They were great as well. Courteous goodbyes from the staff on our way out. Everyone working tonight was the gold standard of finer dining. Thank you all

This is hands down THE BEST Mastros location. The restaurant is so beautiful, staff are all amazing and the crowd is great! I love the live music, they were lovely and definitely set the vibe. Michelle is the best, I hope to see her again the next time I come visit! Luis was so helpful accommodating me with my same day reservation. Also, Alicia, in the women's restroom is the sweetest!!! ..I can't wait to come back here! You MUST order the sautéed shrimp!!!!! It's packed with so much flavor, it's very filling, option of order of 4 or 6 - we got two orders of 4 and shared between 3- plenty! The ahi tuna tartare is deeeeelish!!! So fresh and has a little kick to it, not spicy at all definitely tolerable. The dream berry is my go to drink when I'm at Mastros, I used to get the Hennessy sidecar but I'm a light weight and that drink is STRONG! Dream berry is sweet and perfect! The lamb is amazing, Brussel sprouts, lobster mashed potatoes, creamed corn, Mac and cheese are all my favorites! Definitely recommend! I love the butter cake and cheesecake, I look forward to it every year for my birthday!

I had a very unfortunate experience at this restaurant. Below is the letter I sent to the corporate office and to the general manager in Newport Beach. I never received a response: I am contacting you regarding an incident that occurred at your Newport Beach Mastro's Ocean Club on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2024. My daughter, son-in-law, and I were seated in the main dining room. We unfortunately discovered a large dog inches away from my daughter's chair. The dog was literally touching my daughter's chair, as the tables were perpendicular to one another. The initial problem was a wagging dog tail hitting my daughter in the back over and over. The problem could have quickly been solved if the dog owner had graciously repositioned the dog or management had moved the dog owners to a corner of the restaurant. Unfortunately, the situation spiralled out of control when the dog owner told my daughter "don't move your chair as it may disturb the dog." (Additionally, multiple servers approached to pet the dog, which caused more distractions.) After asking for assistance from the waitress, the dog owner told my daughter to, "shut the f*ck up, don't f*ucking turn around and watch your back." We were quite startled by this language and immediately asked for a manager. An employee (security personnel?) said he would try to move our table, but the restaurant was completely full and he'd check back with us later. No one ever checked back. While I understand that businesses are in a delicate position with potential "service dogs," this was certainly a pet dog. My primary concern is the reaction by another Mastro representative, who was presented as the "manager," yet his business card reads "the wine director," who appeared to have little customer experience. After explaining the situation, this employee stated, "Well no one on my staff heard any of this, so we can't corroborate your story." I think we can all agree that at a fine dining establishment, such as Mastro's, an animal shouldn't be taking precedence over guests who are expecting a relaxing meal. After an extended moment of shock by our party, the manager did reduce our bill (without our prompting). However, my primary concern was not financial, but that your management was ineffectual in a difficult situation. I feel it's important that as Regional Vice President, you are aware that your restaurant failed to rise to the occasion to ensure that customers are treated as respected guests. Need less to say our evening was ruined and we won't be returning.

Our server Emme (sorry if I spelled this wrong) was phenomenal! She was super kind and patient with my family on Christmas -- also PS TYSM for working on Christmas! We enjoyed the best drinks and yummy food! Also the seasonal butter cake is to die for! Always the best time in OC's best restaurant! Such a fun place to spend the holidays a beautiful magical Christmas vibe!

Valentine's date last Sunday was awesome BF uber surprised me by taking me out to Mastro's, which I low key always wanted to try but never been to... and it actually lived up to all the things people have told me. Wonderful service, food, live music - up there on my list with Summit House. Alicia was our server and she was such a joy. We ordered the 22 ounce ribeye, lobster bisque, crab cakes and to drink, 2 cocktails, me with a mojito and him with something I forget with I think whiskey? Enjoyed our meal and would love to come back on a night where we can sit in the booths by the piano and listen to live music by the bar downstairs over dinner and drinks

Been to 3 different Mastro's locations and the experience has always been the best here. The food is amazing as expected. Love the filet mignon and the sides are to die for. Service is TOP notch. The staff is very helpful and very accommodating. Will definitely continue to come here.

Came here for a work event with my fiancé. We really enjoyed our time here. The service was phenomenal. They were so attentive and really on it. The food was so delicious. We had a seafood tower, lobster bisque, bone-in ribeye steak, and butter cake. I really liked the ambiance of this restaurant and plan to return.

Went on a Sunday. They had $10 valet or you can try your luck parking in the Plaza. We had to circle a bit before finding parking. We were there for my birthday and my niece's birthday. We had a reservation and we were seated quickly. There was live music which was actually really nice. She sang and played the piano. The menu was customized to say happy birthday and had our names on it. That was a nice touch. I got the filet since I'm not that big on seafood. The filet was good but not extraordinary. They did have a wagyu options but we didn't opt for that. The scalloped potatos were good too. What irked me the most was when it came to packaging our leftovers. We are two households so I put some sides on my plate so that they could package it all into one container. The other household was taking the individual sides. The restaurant packaged our food but took the sides of mine and my fiancé's plate and added them back into the communal side plate. I've never seen that before. We didn't notice until we were outside grabbing our share. Also, I've celebrated with my family before since our birthdays are so close together and never did a restaurant combine our birthday cakes. We had one plate, one cheesecake slice, one candle. I don't expect to get a birthday cake but if the restaurant offers, each birthday person received their own cake or sparkler. Maybe I expected individual cakes since Mastro's is such a fancy and expensive restaurant. I will say that the cheesecake was really good. Probably my favorite thing there.

I had the bone-in ribeye, I think it's their signature steak. It was cooked to such perfection, I felt like I died and went to heaven. The servers are so friendly I would go back just to see them again. The private dining room with the patio was covered due to the rain, but they lit the heater lamps and we saw the sunset through the tent. It was lovely.

There are restaurants that offer an amazing location, top tier food and service, and that just make a really great night for you and your party. Then there is Mastro's Ocean Club. We went on Saturday to celebrate my best friends engagement, which included dinner with guests as far as Switzerland, and let me tell you how incredible the night was! Steak, literally the several that were ordered were all cooked to perfection. Pick any cut oe once of meat, big or small and you will not be disappointed. Sides? Lobster Macaroni and Cheese, Scalloped Potatoes, Broccoli, Cream of Corn etc. ALL had stand alone appeal with perfect tastes. Personally, I picked the salmon (pan-seared) to see if the kitchen could pull off the perfect meal. Sure enough, it was the highlight of the night. Fresh, crispy skin, and maximum flavor from beginning to end. I could not recommend this restaurant enough, and could not wait to review this location and state, it was the one of the best meals of my life. You will not be dissapointed to celebrate any occasion here. Or just pick a night, make a reservation, let valet take care of you and prepare to be blown away by Mastro's. Nights eating and living in ambiance like this is what defines quality.

I used to go here at least every month or every few weeks. You need a reservation! This place always gets crowded, especially around the weekend. Waiting for a table can take hours, unless you want to sit at the bar. There's always a singer and someone playing the piano, so it's generally loud. If you like it more quiet I'll recommend to go to Mastro's steakhouse. I prefer it more quiet but came here more often due to being local... I'll recommend their steak and their pound cake. The lemon drop is also popular.

Food is steak and seafood and sides. From Wagyu to Filet to seafood tower. We came here tonight to just relax and eat some bar snacks like creme brûlée, latte, and cocktails. All were good. Service - as best as a bar service could be Ambiance - on a Friday night, very busy in the bar area with some reserved seats as well as 2 bar areas. There is also seating for dining. All gets packed as a novel date night fancy dining and bar. Love love love it! Verdict - all is good is this place. No real complaints. Pricewise, a little on the higher side, but of course you better know that. This is Newport and this is Mastros. Valet parking and service oriented. All were as expected.

Had reserved a table for two at Mastro's ocean club for my girlfriend and is first anniversary and we came out of the dinner so so disappointed with the service. Our server was a thinner blonde woman and she ensured us that she was going to take great care of us for our anniversary and everything started off pretty okay., then slowly the server seemed like she forgot about us and only checked on us maybe two other times after we had ordered and gotten our food. It got to the point where my girlfriend and I were pretty much finished with our dinner but our server was nowhere to be seen, except we did see her tending to other parties that were bigger than just our two, maybe perhaps she thought that they'd tip more or something. A different server, a shorter man with glasses and combed over hair came over and asked us if we wanted our food to go and we agreed. we then saw the server put all our food on a waiting tray expecting him to box it up but then he left to cash out another couple and left our food out there on the serving platter in the way of other servers and he didn't come back! On the last time our server came back, she had asked me if I wanted a second sprite and I had agreed, but alas that second sprite did not come either but at that point our anniversary dinner was pretty much spoiled and we were in low spirits. When you pay the amount that you would at a place like this, you'd expect excellent or above average service but I guess Mastros is not that, and we will not be back. I advise any couples looking for a place to celebrate, to look elsewhere or you'll be stuck in a corner of the dining hall forgotten about like we were. Pros - manager came over and wished us a happy anniversary and the food was good. Cons - all listed above 2 stars.

When we arrived on a rainy Wednesday night, I could swear Migos' Bad and Boujrr was playing subconsciously in my mind. But it was a proper intro to a proper dinner. First let's start with Ashley, our server. If this review was based only on her amazing knowledge, her attentiveness, and the MOC team, it would be 5 stars. She is the literal definition of customer service. She was patient, understanding, and most of all a good overall vibe with her rapport. Can't say enough good things about her, and I hope management sees this The food was delicious. The seafood and sushi tower were amazing, everything was amazingly fresh. We all got steaks, Chef's cut Ribeye and KC Strip, and they were cooked to perfection... Except mine. I don't know what line chef thought that this burnt crispy outside was ok to send to the table, but it was bad. I like char, a subtle bitterness helps the beef, but this was bad. I hate sending food back, but I was reminded this was a $100 cut, a $2000 dinner, I Should enjoy this. So Ashley took it back to be re-fired, which I really appreciated. Other than that, and having to wait an additional 15 minutes to get my replacement cut. everything went great. This kind of dinner is really a luxury, maybe a couple times a year for a person like me so the experience was phenomenal. If you're a bit higher on the socioeconomic ladder, and a place like this is routine, I can't see how you can go wrong either. Thank you again MOC for a great evening. Btw, I learned last night that "Still" Water means bottled water, and you pay for it. Lol. I had gone through life thinking still just meant not sparkling. Duly Noted.

Excellent food, service and ambiance. Our family and friends had Thanksgiving dinner together. Thoroughly enjoyed it !

Stopped by here late night for a Manhattan and dessert. Scored seats at the bar which is great and close to the piano bar with live performances. The Maestros Manhattan is a signature drink. I've had it at multiple locations and it's consistently good. It's a generous portion, served with a shaker which has enough for two drinks. It's generally shaken table side so even if you're not sitting at the bar it's a great choice. For dessert we ordered the butter cake which is also a signature option. Massive scoop of vanilla ice cream served over a warm butter cake. Great for sharing.

Had Easter dinner here. Love the service , food ans live pianist. Valet is $8 but if you want to skip there is parking close by. Ordered the usual rib eye and it's perfection. Better cooked than the one in DTLA. Ambiance is much better than DTLA. Trust

Mastro's Ocean Club provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding anniversary celebration. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our reservations were seamless, and upon arrival, we were greeted by our wonderful waitress, Kim. She immediately made us feel welcome and surprised us with menus adorned with a "Happy Anniversary" message - a lovely personal touch that set the tone for the evening. The highlight of the evening was the food and beverage service. Our expertly crafted cocktails were prepared tableside, adding a touch of flair and entertainment to the experience. They were absolutely delicious! Our appetizer selections, the crab cocktail and the octopus, were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. We then shared an Italian chopped salad, a refreshing break before our main courses. The petit filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender and rich with flavor, a true testament to the quality of the ingredients. The pork chop was a revelation - the apple brandy sauce created a perfect sweet and savory combination. We finished the evening on a perfect note with the anniversary cheesecake and berries. It was a delightful way to end a truly special meal. Exceptional Service by Kim: Our waitress, Kim, deserves special recognition. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening. Her friendly and genuine demeanor made us feel like valued guests. Mastro's Ocean Club provided the perfect ambiance, impeccable service, and an exceptional culinary experience. Kim's attentiveness and the special touches for our anniversary made it a night we won't soon forget. We highly recommend Mastro's Ocean Club for a special occasion or a truly memorable night out.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner. The dinner was memorable, but in a very bad way. Service was awful. The server seems to disappear, forcing us to waive down passing random servers to place our order after over half an hour since being seated. The soup eventually served to us was lukewarm, not hot, which required flagging down another random server. The first time I requested a manager to come over, no one showed up. Things got better only the second time I requested a manager. Apparently that was enough to wake someone up. The dining room was very noisy. It is hard to enjoy a dinner when you have to yell to be heard. The firs time the soup was severed it was, as I state above, lukewarm. The second time it was hot, but just not very good. I have to wonder about a seafood place that serves terrible clam chowder. The entrees were actually good, but not great. At the prices that they charge they should be great. So overall we spent two hours not having a nice dinner. And while the managers reduced the price somewhat to compensate, I would much rather pay full price and have a great experience that partial price and suffer through this experience. There are better alternatives in Orange County, and we will go to them in the future.

Incredible experience dining at Mastro's. I normally go to the Malibu location but I was blown away by this one. We had an exceptional table at sunset. The food was outstanding as well. What really made the dinner so special and memorable was our server Mark. We called it that he had been a seasoned employee of 15 years. His expertise on the menu and sheer hospitality made celebrating my boyfriend's birthday so special. Thank you Mark for a truly wonderful dining experience!!!

Celebrated my birthday at Mastro's. Best seat in the house with a view of the sunset and perfect for people watching. Our waitress, Brittani, and the entire staff catered to our every wish. I enjoyed the bone-in ribeye, sautéed spinach, followed by a platter of amazing shared desserts for my birthday - crème brûlée, flourless chocolate cake, & their famous butter cake. Everything was beyond delicious, and the evening was perfect. Thank you, Mastro's Ocean Club staff.
