Mastro's Steakhouse

Service was great !!!!! Everyone very attentive and fun !! Our sea food tower was amazing !! I love the lemon and tiny Tabasco Sause !! Drinks were amazing ! So delicious !! Dessert was off the hook ! Macaroni with jalapeño was off the hook. my steak was very bland , it had no flavor nothing . I ordered medium rare .. I don't think I'll order steak here anymore . place is usually super loud you cannot hear your self talk .. tables are so close together ! I really like this spot but it's just always so crowded !!! Thank you to the amazing staff !!

My husband took me here for our anniversary dinner and it was beautiful! It's very dimly lit and quiet atmosphere where we sat. On the other side it seemed to be a bit more casual feeling with an upscale air. More lively and definately appropriate for an office special gathering or a special occasion. Our server was Melissa and she was absolutely FABULOUS! I had a million questions because it's not my normal scene, and she was very patient with me and happy to explain. It was clear she also loves the food there! We ordered oysters on a half shell for an appetizer. Waygu sushi roll as an in-between. Tomahawk steak with scallops on top. Creamed spinach and crab gcnocci. And for dessert we ordered butter cake with ice cream. ALL of the food and I do mean ALL of it was absolutely AMAZING. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything on that menu at all. It was all absolutely phenomenal. If I had to pick two favorites, I would choose the waygu rolls and the tomahawk steak but I would honestly reorder absolutely everything and then some. If you are looking for a special place for a special event - do not even consider another restaurant. You can thank me after you feel compelled to write a review due to the out of this world food and ambiance during your visit!

The meat was amazing - specifically the filet steak. Weird that they charge for a bread basket at such a high level restaurant. Lobster bisque too buttery - should not be drowned in butter. Service seemed a bit overwhelmed as “quote” we are so busy. Many empty tables didn’t seem to be so busy and we came very early. The price service quality relation doesn’t fit.

Brittney was our Host’s name and first and foremost provided the best service I have ever received in my life. Everything was catered to from the openings between the curtains and glass pane for noise reduction for our party to bottled/distilled/sparkly water selection and so much more. Truly 6 out of 5 star service. I have never been to such an amazing establishment. If I am being perfectly honest, I felt a bit out of place and was a bit nervous. But once Brittney arrived she was able to out my heart at ease and made all of our selections such a journey. She was knowledgeable and well versed in all things included on the menu and even offered insight into the behind the sevens for the restaurant and the live music. All in all I put my faith and trust in her steak(medium well Porter House PERFECTION with decadent marbling) and side suggestions and my family was better off for it. There were 11 of us and even though we were at a 5 star restaurant to say the least, it felt more like a down to earth intimate event and everything from the ambience to the drink suggestion pairings truly made it a night to remember. I have never truly enjoyed myself at a restaurant as much as I did on 3/30/2024 at 6pm-9pm. From the bottom Thank the restaurant and the staff(ESPECIALLY BRITTNEY!) for the unforgettable and intimate evening out with my family. Can’t wait to come back again for our semi-annual family dinner in October!

We had two steaks, lobster bisque, lamb, oyster, cocktail, wine, and cake. Total came our to $400 ballpark. My buddy paid after I passed a special exam 😀 Food tasted sooooooo good. The price is worth the occasion. Great vibes. Waitress was super knowledgeable. Her explanations added to the entertainment and experience. Highly recommend.

great spot. got engaged here. fantastic place. been numerous times.

Last night we went to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday, party of 7. We made reservations and were seated right away. Our waiter was Michael ( Mikey ) to say he did an amazing job is an understatement. He was phenomenal, the service was the best we’ve ever had. We’ve been to several Mastros and service was always good but last night was the best we’ve ever had at any restaurant. His personality, service, professionalism was excellent. We took our teens for the first time and they wanted to try a fancy drink, he recommended a few Mocktails and they were delicious. The food was great as usual. But service was definitely incredible!! Can’t wait to be back and ask for him.

My friend and I came here for drinks and appetizers before going to see a show at the Civic Arts Plaza. She had 2 Dr Feel Good cocktails at $18 each. I had 1 Dream Berry martini for $22 but they give you the martini shaker, so there was enough in there for another cocktail. It was super delicious and a value, since you get 2 drinks for the price of one. I also ordered the appetizer size Caesar salad $9) and bread service ($5). Barely ate the bread but they had a nice selection. My friend got the jumbo crab cake and ate every morsel. Our bill, with 20% tip came to $124. That's for 3 drinks, one crab cake, and one $9 salad. Be prepared to spend some money, as all Mastro's are expensive.

When it is Christmas Eve and the place is sold out (including added tables in the bar) and the team knocks it out of the park? That's amazing. We arrived in advance of our reservation and we were seated right on schedule. Our server was Brittanie and we watched her work without pause ALL of her tables and she really deserves a special thank you. So, THANK YOU Brittanie How about this? 6 people in our party. All entrees and sides came out piping hot. That's just unheard of in a tense holiday environment and I give the kitchen team a huge round of applause for that. The quality of the dinner was as good or better than at any Mastro's I've ever been to and that list is long. To the management of Mastro's in Thousand Oaks- absolutely spectacular job last night, Christmas Eve 2024. Forgive the stock image- I attacked my New York Strip and never thought about taking pictures but, trust me, it was all 10 out 10. Cocktails- all served timely and concoctions were all right on the mark. Shrimp Cocktail- cold, perfectly cooked served over cocktail sauce and dry ice/ note- WATCH the horseradish. THE hottest I've ever had. I loved it. Salads- I ordered a wedge, chopped and tossed, and it was delicious. The bacon was savory with just the right amount of blue cheese and dressing. Everyone's salads were devoured. Entrées and sides - 2 NY Strip, two filets, one panko crusted sea bass (that was my wife's and she loved it) and one chicken dish. Again- all served hot and cooked to order. Mashed potatoes were silky, white cheddar Mac n Cheese was perfectly cooked and delicious as was the au gratin (OK we "carb loaded"...guilty pleasure on Christmas Eve ) We had a birthday in the group so Brittanie brought out a small butter cake. Well I ordered a bigger one. Pro tip- do NOT leave this place without ordering that dessert. I'm not sure if there are any words to adequately describe it- it was that good. Value- 10/10. Mastro's is fine dining. Comparatively speaking, their prices are right in line with other steakhouses in that elevated group. I've paid more at other fine dining establishments and received a lot less. So, yes, Mastro's Thousand Oaks, CA is a very good value for the

Came here for our holiday work dinner. The service was impeccable! The food from seafood tower, rack of lambs to dessert was absolutely delicious! Everyone was super attentive to our needs. My only qualm with them was that they forgot to serve the mashed potatoes to about 6 of us, who were seated at the end. So some of us served ourselves, while others didn't have any until they were done with their entree and then asked for some, just to have. We were a big party compared to the usual dinner parties, so I totally get it - we are all human! Overall, amazing dinner. This location was great!

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at [Restaurant Name], and let me tell you, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this place was special, but what truly elevated our evening were two remarkable servers: Mikey and Wes. Mikey, our primary server, was a beacon of hospitality. His warm smile and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for the entire evening. He was not just attentive; he was a maestro orchestrating a symphony of service. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, seamlessly refilling our glasses and offering thoughtful recommendations from the menu. What struck me most was his knowledge of the dishes. Mikey could describe each ingredient with the kind of passion that made your mouth water. When I asked about the chef's special, he painted a picture so vivid that I felt compelled to order it--and it did not disappoint. Each bite was a revelation, elevated further by Mikey's charming anecdotes about the ingredients and their origins. Now, let's talk about Wes. As we were enjoying our meal, the atmosphere became unexpectedly lively when a table nearby erupted into the scourge of society, the pretentious, hosted by five particularly challenging women. Rather than falter, Wes stepped into the fray with grace and poise. He handled the situation with an elegance that was almost theatrical, managing to diffuse entitlement while maintaining his professionalism. Wes approached the table with a calm demeanor, engaging them with a light-hearted joke that made them laugh, shifting the energy entirely. He listened intently to their complaints, validating their concerns while subtly steering the conversation towards a more positive note. It was a masterclass in customer service, showcasing his ability to navigate even the stormiest seas with finesse. Thanks to Mikey's exceptional service and Wes's diplomatic skills, what could have been an ordinary night out transformed into a memorable dining experience. They worked in perfect harmony, embodying the spirit of true hospitality. In a world where service can sometimes feel transactional, Mikey and Wes reminded us of the power of personal touch. I left [Restaurant Name] not just satisfied but uplifted, already planning my next visit. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines fantastic food with stellar service, do yourself a favor and seek out Mikey and Wes--you won't be disappointed!

It's been a few years so I just wanted to come back to give an updated review for one of my favorite restaurants, Mastros. Mastros continues to be an absolute home run. The vibes are sophisticated and romantic, while fun and lively, especially if you sit at the bar. From start to finish it's a well thought out experience and meal. I always make a reservation in advance and it's seamless. The valet makes pulling up and getting out easy peasy. With a reservation we only waited a couple of minutes and then were seated. This time we sat at the bar high top for a more lively vibe. If you want something a little quieter and more romantic then opt for a dining area table. The bar was perfect for a girls night as the piano was playing and it was dimly lit. Our server this time was Lana and she was such a doll. Super sweet and caring throughout our meal. She was attentive and gave great recommendations. The service is always top notch, drinks were always refilled and our table cleaned off almost immediately from being finished. The staff do a wonderful job here, it's definitely a team effort. Cocktails are amazing here. Always ice cold and presentation is elegant. I love that the martinis come with a shaker, so you essentially are getting a double. The cocktails are unique but they also do the classics right. Food is worth the hype! I don't care what the naysayers have to say about it lol. I love their appetizers and mains. For apps I highly recommend creating your own seafood tower! The oyster are always fresh and I love their shrimp cocktail. For mains it's easily any of their steaks for me. I personally love their ribeye. Always cooked perfect. For the sides I beg anyone who will listen to get the lobster mashed potatoes because they are so creamy and buttery with huge chunks of lobster. It's a great compliment to any of their steaks and still gives you that little hint of seafood flavor with your meal. Food, ambiance, and service is a 5/5 still in my books. Perfect for a dinner date or celebration, I truly love Mastros.

I don't get it ! Steak was undersized, drinks were super expensive, great atmosphere though but it stops there . Seems every time we go my wife gets sick from all the butter they cook the steaks in. Service was good , but funny seem like waitress had a look after serving our steaks like we were foolios for paying all this money for mediocre steaks. Recently went to Eddie Vs Wow !! Now that's excellent for price point. And no one got sick.

Went to Mastro's over the weekend for a good ole girl-dinner hang, and it did not disappoint! First off, huge shoutout to Lana, who was our server. She was an absolute star--super attentive and made sure our night was perfect from start to finish. The drinks? SO GENEROUS, lol. I had both the dreamberry martini and the dirty martini, and they were so well balanced. The best part? They give you the shaker too, which is a lot of martini...and let's just say I probably shouldn't be trusted with that much martini. But hey, more bang for your buck, right? We started with oysters, and while they didn't have kumamotos (sad face), the North Bay ones were still delicious. The seafood tower was a showstopper with the dry ice making it all dramatic--such a fun touch! Plus, they included mini hot sauces, lemon, and caper berries for that extra flavor boost. The shrimp on the tower were massive and perfectly cleaned, super fresh too, which is always a win. Now, the lobster mashed potatoes--where do I even start? Buttery, smooth, and downright glorious. Paired it with my dirty martini, and it was heaven. We also had the burrata salad, which was light, creamy, and just the right start to balance all the rich dishes. And for dessert, we finished off with the butter cake, and honestly, it was the perfect sweet note to end the meal. Warm, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth good. LOVED every bite! Overall, Mastro's absolutely nailed it. Perfect for a night out with the ladies.

Been coming to this specific Mastros for years and it's always a great time. Was just there on Christmas day and once again awesome service and the food was delicious my steak came out perfect. Definitely recommend this Masteos in TO. Also they brought back the Pecan Butter Cake! Best thing on the face of this planet it was freaking delicious!!

I always have a great time when dining here. To start, I usually get Mastro's Lemon Drop served over dry ice (not pictured). It's my go-to drink here, and a must try! For food, I had the Dungeness Crab cocktail, which is served with a side of atomic horseradish sauce and cocktail sauce. The seafood is fresh, and they give you a fair portion of meat - it is absolutely incredible. Their French Onion Soup is simply the best. The deep broth paired with the melted Gruyère cheese is unbeatable. I also tried their Wagyu Sashimi special served over wasabi mashed potatoes. This was delicious, very filling, and I highly recommend it. I ended the night with their 8oz filet (not pictured), which was cooked to perfection (as always). The exceptional service at Mastro's is a key reason why I keep coming back! Erin is one of the best servers in town. She makes every visit feel like catching up with friends or family. Shout out to Enrique and Melissa as well. Both are excellent servers, and I highly recommend you sit with them if you get the chance. The ambiance is upscale and classy, great for dressing up for a night out or date night. One suggestion I have for this place is to invest in professional singers for their live performances. Some nights, it sounds like a karaoke dive bar, which somewhat diminishes the atmosphere. Other than that, this restaurant is absolute staple in Thousand Oaks, and I always look forward to my next visit!!

We came in on a friday night and with reservations. The staff greeted us and we were seated fairly quickly. The place is dim, very loud and lively. We enjoyed the live music they had. Our server was friendly but service was a little slower than expected. Food presentation was nice however, I did find it a little odd that the first food item placed on our table was an entree (the chilean sea bass). All the appetizers were brought out shortly after that. We ordered; -shrimp cocktail-delish but no cocktail sauce or horseradish. Had some accent seaweed pieces around it. -various sushi, yellowtail, wagyu roll, tuna-I was very impressed with the quality and flavors! -chilean sea bass-a little bit dry -steaks- all very good -caviar (imperial)- so good. Overall, this is a great place for a fun night out with a group of friends, it's loud, so hard to have intimate date night convos over dinner. I like people watching so this was a good choice on a friday night.

Julio at the valet is great! He's so fast, if you blink you might miss him lol. Chris was amazing, very attentive we never needed for anything. For starters we ordered: sautéed shrimp which is ALWAYS A MUST! 10/10 tuna tartare really good. Fresh, crunchy and spicy but a little messy 9/10 crab cakes weren't my favorite but the table loved them. I won't order again For drinks I got the dream berry which is my go to usual! I love it! You get two in one! 10/10. For dinner I got the rack of lambs which are my fav besides the petit filet. I ordered them medium and they were perfect so juicy amazing 100/10. The usually cook it under so you can order it a little over cooked. Also got the creamed corn which is one of my faves 10/10, the Brussels spouts also another must 10/10 and the lobster Mac and cheese which was 0/10 so disgusting. So runny not my fave never ordering again, the regular Mac is so much better. Also got the bone in ribeye medium rare and it was soooo good melted in my mouth like the lam 100/10. The butter cake is always a must you can't come here and not get it for dessert !! Overall it was an amazing experience as usual I don't expect anything less. This is my favorite restaurant for a reason. Thank you again Chris !

What an absolutely wonderfully delightful meal we had at this location. Our server was tremendous. She was happy to help us make good selections. Got us the secret special Caesar salad and was quick on drinks. I enjoyed the fillet that I had and also the scallop that came with it. All of the sides were very good as well. I especially enjoyed the creamed corn. For dessert we had a berry cobbler - so delicious. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the bar is outstanding. Look forward to my next visit.

Service and ambiance at Mastro's are always great. We order Snake River Farms beef monthly so I suppose the wow factor of their steaks has worn off but, their sides, cocktails and desserts are always on point. Came last weekend for a date night and had a lovely evening. The crab truffle gnocchi was delicious, steaks were cooked perfectly, cocktails were nice and service was great.

Posh, elegant and upscale are ways to describe our dinner at Mastro's Steakhouse! We pulled up to valet ($7+tip) and went in through a giant door and inside was dark wood, crisp white table cloths and low lighting. There are 3 rooms to dine in, and we sat in the front room overlooking the civic arts plaza. The wait staff was excellent, checking in at all of the correct times throughout the evening, but not pushy or invasive. The cocktail menu was large and my yummy drink had a little flamingo pick in it! Cute! My husband and I split a Caesar salad and they halved it for us which was appreciated! Our friends got the iceberg wedge salad and they chopped it and the bacon in that salad... perfect! Thick sliced, cooked crispy but not burned! I got the bone in filet medium and it was very good, those plates are HOT so watch out! It was tender and tasty! We split the sides: Mac and cheese, Brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes. Best one was the potatoes, would definitely get that again! Choose something other than the Brussel sprouts. The Mac and cheese was flavorful, a great mix of cheeses. The pasta was a little over cooked. For dessert the butter cake, served with ice cream and whip cream was SO good, a must get! All in all we had a great time! I would recommend this place for a celebration dinner!

The food is exceptional, well made, nicely presented and shareable. The shareable aspect is more for the sides and apps and desserts, but even the main courses are pretty large portions! The service was great, the waiter was very patient and helpful and was able to accommodate our large party. The ONLY side note I will provide is that it was so loud while we were ordering, the music was just overpowering the intro process and we heard NONE of the specials for the day! My filet had truffle butter on it, which was Amazing! There is A LOT of butter though, so I personally would have moved some off the plate if I knew it would all melt quickly.

Mastro's is the definition of fine dining. My experience was incredible. We came here to celebrate a big milestone and they delivered. The service was excellent, the food was so tasty and the drinks were even better. We got the French onion soup, the truffle gnocchi, porterhouse and filet mignon which was all cooked to absolute perfection. The butter cake was the perfect ending to a fantastic night.

In my opinion, this Mastro's location serves the best steak/cut of meat out of other Mastro's. The bar area is as lovely as the main dining and has daily piano/singer for entertainment. Such a fun place!

Celebrated a special occasion. Everything was so great! Ambiance & food. Food came out in good order/timing.

There was constant buzz about their warm butter cake and how it ranked on the top of similar concoctions elsewhere. Thus, on Saturday night, we drove 30 miles to Thousand Oaks, to dine at Mastro's Steakhouse. After valet parking (reasonable $6), we entered the establishment at the reception area to be greeted by one wall full of wine bottles. There is also a dress code sign at the reception :) The place was packed, both in the bar area (where there was a vocalist singing and playing on the piano), and the dining spaces. All the patrons were dressed up, but not as sharp as the servers, all of which, were well groomed, with white coats and black bow ties. Poshness was in the air and you could smell success, everywhere. There was dim lighting, black cloth napkins, white table cloth and elegantly appointed table settings. It was no surprise that the menu was pricey. Fully expected, in this classy and electric ambiance, that welcomed you to be a part of their evening dining service. The Lobster Bisque arrived at the right temperature, creamy, with a rich seafood taste, containing very small pieces of lobster meat. The crab cake for one of our party was stringy, and ordinary. However, the magnet at Mastro's is their steaks. We had the 6 oz Filet Mignon (medium rare for me, medium for the other diner). For accompaniments, there was the Lobster meat (4 oz) and the Dungeness Crab meat (5 oz). Both these seafood selections were de shelled and steamed. Nicely done. Drawn butter and Béarnaise sauce was on the side. The Filet Mignon was sensational. Prepared to perfection, cut well with the knife, had firm texture and satisfying taste. The grand finale was the dessert, the real reason we came here. Alas, the Signature Mastro Warm Butter cake. We ordered two of them !! An exceptional dish, a large portion in each, tastefully dressed, marrying well with the ice cream. It came with sides of huge portions of cream (really). We could not finish either butter cake, and brought the left overs home. For those who are wondering about cost, the whole meal (for 3 people, including a glass of wine and an old fashioned cocktail), with tip, came to $450. Clearly, an amazing evening, fully worth the visit, and a night to remember, in its own category of food, service and culinary excellence.

What an awful chain restaurant. Someone from the Billion dollar Landry's corporation should eat here. The night we visited the staff and management was completely distracted by a large holiday party which clearly taxed all the resources available. Our service in the Wine cellar room was beyond terrible. And the food just ok considering the crazy high prices. When you spend 57 dollars for a Chilean Sea Bass it certainly should not taste fishy. And the steaks that are upwards from 60 dollars to sky high are just ok.. And when an Oban scotch costs 27 dollars and the bottle is about 90 bucks at Costco you have to ask yourself how can they do this.. The sides were ok but again so over the top expensive. We didnt touch the fries and the mac n cheese just ok. The deserts including the famous butter cake are all just pure sugary awful. With over 20 Maestros around the country I guess the attention to detail has been lost

Dinner with the fam!! Mastro's is one of our favorite steak house. Their steaks are always well prepared and delicious. Service is impeccable they are very attentive. There's live music in one room but I don't find it overwhelming loud, we are able to hold a conversation comfortably. Great for date nights.

Our waitress, Brittany was amazing! There were a couple weird things that happened that night that I prefer not to mention, but would appreciate a follow up or a way to provide information not publicly

Mastro's hands down top of the food chain! Service is impeccable in the mood is relaxing. It's a great place to end day one and leave with a smile on your face.

My friends and I had dinner last night and I got back home and our stomachs were hurting us and now in the morning. I think it was the $40 dollar lobster mashed potatoes. I noticed lobster was overcooked and the potatoes weren't mashed more like uncooked. I noticed the crispy sashimi wasn't fresh as expected. My friends had the wagyu angus which they said it was few chunks which they had to chew out. Overall the price and the quality did not meet our standards. Our bill was over 7 bills and I get home and I'm on the toilet since last night. Mind you, I did not have anything else the day.

The food was good and the service was great. The lobster bisque was okay. They have a really good seafood selection iin case some members of your party don't want steak. The only reason I wouldn't go back is that they only have one ribeye choice, bone in. The bathroom wasn't very clean so I asked the front desk to send someone, which they did. The restaurant is good, not great.

I have seen this restaurant in many locations but never dined there... toooo pricey for me and my family. However, last night my "ride or die" pal Jack and I drove out here to celebrate our pal Lewis Brian's birthday... we took PCH until we could cross over the canyon by Pepperdine to get there. Do I sound a little like the SNL sketch The Californians? Leaving at 6p we were worried we would be late AND WE WERE by 15 minutes... ah Los Angeles traffic is a thing my friends but the drive was wonderful and stress free by not taking the highways! Anyway, it was a most fabulous culinary experience and lots of food and alcohol was served. The "fish tower " appetizer was fantastic and so fresh... we devoured it. I had a NY strip steak that melted in my mouth. Cooked to perfection... the sides were typical steakhouse fare ie. Garlic potatoes, french fries and creamed spinach (my favorite) ...the bread basket filled with assorted yummy and deliciousness. We all laughed and enjoyed every moment... Shout out to Eric, our waitstaff person who was awesome and patient with this unruly and fun-loving crowd! Their menu is quite extensive with great fish choices, salads and even sushi. Highly recommend for a very special occasion or if you win the lottery ;) Only issue was that it closes too early... we could've stayed another hour! The cake I bought at Cake and Art was a huge success!

Celebrated our anniversary here, food and service was excellent. We didn't finish nearly half of our food. Our food was packaged to take home by staff, we were disappointed to find that wife's filet she barely touched was not packaged. Bummer but not a deal breaker..

5 stars for the drinkys. Mmm the lemon drops are DIVINE here. Our server Melissa was super kind and funny. Celebrated Valentine's Day here with my boyfriend and we had a great time. Brussels sprouts are so good and crunchy. We also got the truffle mushrooms as a side but they didn't have any essence of truffle to them. Porter house was eh, but we're never really blown away by the steak here. Love the live music; will prob just sit at the bar next time instead of a table. It's a vyyyybe. Get the butter cake here! Chefs kiss :*

Customer service was good. Our server was new but nice, friendly, and attentive. We went for a birthday and they even printed the celebrant's name on the menu. - very nice of them to do. As usual, there was a live piano and live singing at the bar. Food wise - awesome as usual. Oysters, hamachi Crudo, tuna tartare were all fresh and delicious. Our steak came out cooked to perfection - according to our liking. Hands down - always great to be in this location. And valet is always fast.

Delicious steak and onion soup!!! Nice and cozy inside and great service. We did not have a reservation but squeezed us in. I'd go back anytime!

My friends and I had a double date here to celebrate my birthday. It was extraordinary! They had a birthday wish on the menu with my name and provided a special dessert. They also added a couple other special touches to roll out the red carpet. Service was wonderful. Brian, the manager, really takes care of his regulars. We all enjoyed our meal and the entertainment. Mastros is by far the best restaurant in the Conejo Valley! I particularly love this location, as they make you feel like family!

We had a magnificent experience at Mastro's in TO. This was my first time but multiple people in my group had been before. Very easy to make a reservation and highly recommend. The valet was easy upon arrival. The bar is open seating. The menu said Happy Birthday which was so special. We started off with cocktails and brought our own bottle of wine to go with dinner. They charge a corkage fee when brining your own bottle. I started with the Heirloom Tomato & Burrata which was so fresh & delicious. For my entree, I enjoyed the petite filet. Our waiter was so helpful and recommended cooking at medium which is the equivalent of a medium rare elsewhere. The sides are large and shareable. Everything was wonderfully cooked. And we still had room for the famous butter cake. Truly a beautiful dining experience.

The food here was okay. Like the sides and stuff like that were not bad but the steak the whole point was so delicious! The desert and drinks were a 10 though The service here took quite some time and it got pretty boring. We ordered the corn, the steak, the butter cake, and the Brussels sprouts. The ambiance here is gorgeous though! It's so fancy and nice.

We visited on Halloween and enjoyed a great experience at the bar with Joe as our bartender. Though the bar wasn't crowded, we had a fun time in costume! I ordered a dirty gin martini with three blue cheese-stuffed olives, and when I asked for a gin recommendation, Joe suggested Nolet's Dry Gin--it was fantastic! For food, I went with the Hamachi topped with black truffles and crispy onions, which was absolutely outstanding. Service was excellent; Joe was attentive and friendly (even behind a mask!). We'll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic anniversary dinner here! We were able to book same day, but our anniversary was a Monday, so I'm not sure how availability is on weekends. Our waitress, Brittany was fantastic, super friendly and helpful. There was a family seated near us that was a bit loud, but the waitstaff discretely asked us if we wanted to move. We didn't, but I so appreciated the offer. Pace of service was good and our steaks were fantastic. The soup, salad and sides were all super generous portions, even for a steakhouse. We will go back someday!

Impeccable service and ambiance. We dined for love day on a Monday night with live music! The singer took requests and our song, "Can't Take My Eyes off of You" rolled off her tongue like velvet! We ordered a salad, mock tail, wine, the 12 oz filet, the Albacore and truffle sushi, Brussels sprouts, spinach, the bread bar and a cherry crips dessert. O.M.G. I was transported to the days of luxurious dates with my husband. The cuisine was cooked to perfection and the staff is soooo attentive, courteous, and accommodating. I'm still dreaming about our dinner!

This Christmas we celebrated with an afternoon meal at Mastro's Ocean Club in Malibu - we were lucky we got the no1 corner table in the private room - what a treat! - the service was spectacular - the day was wonderful - but unfortunately my steak was average - I ordered the 22oz, dry aged, bone in Ribeye at a premium price, I was hoping for a wonderful tasting steak; I ordered it "Pittsburgh", the server said she knew exactly how that was -charred rare and I said blackened - she said it would be cold inside and suggested the next level of rare. I consented and anxiously awaited the treat, being the only meat eater at the table I felt I was the real reason we were eating at Mastro's. My steak arrived, joining my fellow salad eaters I was underwhelmed, it wasn't really blackened and cutting into it showed it was just medium rare and tasting it a bit tough. Frankly, I doubt it was dry aged and certainly not a marbled premium cut - more like what you'd expect from a Ralph's ribeye. I had recently had the same 22 oz, dry aged, ribeye cut at an unnamed Italian restaurant in Agoura and it had been spectacular, prepared perfectly, and great tasting - I was hoping for a similar experience from this famous steakhouse chain - not to be. My take away and advice - Go to Ocean Club for the ocean view - go for the fine service - but don't go there expecting a fine premium piece of meat, properly prepared - you will be very disappointed !!!

Where do I begin. The food is excellent. My husband and I ordered the bread basket, rack of lamb and Mastro's mashed potatoes. These are all shareable items. We also each had a martini. My husband enjoyed his gin martini and I loved my lemon drop. Since it was our anniversary, we were given a dessert. The service was attentive. The ambience is perfect for a date night. Mastro's isn't inexpensive; however, it is worth it!

Visited Mastro's for an early dinner as we had plans to go to a symphony concert at the Cultural Arts center across the way. My wife decided we needed to make a date night out of it. I haven't been to this location for a few years (pre-pandemic) also for a date night so was interested how things were since I've last been, especially after reading some of the other reviews on here. I would say we had a great experience overall. Service was fairly prompt and our waiter - Joanne was attentive and took care of us throughout the meal. I mentioned we needed to catch the show and was hoping to wrap up dinner before showtime. So the challenge was on. My wife started with a Rhubarb Gimlet cocktail , she is a gin fan and was pleased with it. It's nice they serve you extra and leave it in the shaker at your table, because who couldn't use a little top off on their cocktail? She then was served a small Caesar salad with croutons. Highlight were the croutons, seems like they must make them in house, she said there was a distinct meat flavor to them. As an entree she ordered a petite 8 oz steak medium rare. Joanne gave us details on the doneness to confirm and it seemed perfect for my wife who loves steak on the redder side. She added a "feature" which includes truffle butter (extra cost) . She said it was one of the best steak experiences she had. I wanted something lighter and ordered their Branzino (my favorite fish), yes you're paying over $50+ for fish but they serve you a whole fish with sauce. It was cooked very well. I wish the skin was crispier all around. One side was crispy and crunchy the other was not. We ordered creamed spinach as a side. I noticed some folks saying this item was a miss lately. We got a well cooked one, not too creamy like others have experience. I do see why folks say it was "cold". It comes served on a hot plate and was warm compared to the room temperature. However by the time I went for a second serving the spinach was definitely cold. I may suggest the team maybe warm the plates at a higher temp or fire up the spinach for a longer period. I imagine at a restaurant like this folks are deep in convo and so by the time they take a bite they may be letting it cool too long. Overall it was good. This leads us to dessert. Wife ordered an espresso which came with one white sugar cube and one brown sugar cube, it came out okay. I ordered a coffee which comes with assortment of sugars and milk. The coffee was decent as well. They recently brought back the cherry crisp which is a bing cherry cobbler and is served a la mode which was highlight of the meal for my wife. I opted for their famous butter cake. I've had it before and it's definitely worth it in my opinion. Warm and soft inside and a crisp outside pairs well with the ice cream and fruits that accompany it. Definitely a must if you have a sweet tooth. Overall service and food were great. As our table was being cleared an individual asked us how the meal was and we shared the same, they mentioned that they were glad to hear as they've been working on tightening things up recently. So maybe it's worth another shot if you've been lately and weren't impressed. Obviously this is a premium dining experience so if you're over it, totally get it. We got out with ample time to make the. show. If you're in a rush just order everything all at once. We finished before a couple who had been served their 1st course right when we were seated and we're also catching the same show. One thing in terms of ambience - in the dining room we were in you had traditional and warm steak house seating. I didn't dislike it but over the speakers while we were there they had modern and upbeat pop music. Not what I was expecting, but hey it's fine. They eventually transitioned to cover songs of more contemporary music and some Motown classic. So not sure who selects the music but the tone changed for some reason. So not sure what type of audience they're targeting at this location , it didn't bother me but was something I noticed. I think the big question is , would I go back. I definitely would for a special occassion. I would stop by otherwise to visit the bar and enjoy a drink and some bites.

My son bought me here for my birthday in 2020 of October. This was my first time ever coming here. This Mastro's Steakhouse is located in Thousand Oaks at 2087 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. I ordered the Filet Mignon 8oz w/black truffle butter, garlic mashed potatoes, dirty martini w/grey goose and for dessert I had the Mastro's Signature Butter Cake. The food was nice and hot when the waiter brought it, and our server was super cool, he didn't miss anything thing. The ambiance was good but it was a little dark for my liking, but we had a great time. The next time I'm in Thousand Oaks we will stop by and some food.

Nice place to get dressy. The feeling is classy. I had the steak dinner it was cooked to perfection. Our Lemon Drop Martini was incredibly tasty And the service made you feel important! Definitely perfect for Date Night.

Mastro's is still my number one steakhouse. The onion French soup is one of the best you can have anywhere. The sushi lime roll is as good of a roll that you'll find in the finest Japanese restaurants and the steak (bone in filet) is amazingly juicy and tender, not to mention the cream corn which is a must.

I made a reservation for 7 PM last Friday the 27th of Nov for the bar area as we chose Mastro's because in the past they had 1, live music which we love 2, great service 3, great food. So we arrived at 7 and they said the table wasn't ready and they would find us at the bar when it was ready. We walked through the bar to the corner where the piano was. It was too packed to get a drink ( totally understandable no problem) so we stood near the piano enjoying the music. As we were standing there we commented to eat other that every table was full except for one on the opposite side of the room so I asked my BF to go see if he could hear the music from there. He came back and said he couldn't hear the music AT ALL. One of the hosts walked by us and said we could sit AT the piano as there were 2 seats open. We said thank you so much but we have reservations. We waited about 10 min and decided to sit at the piano so we could enjoy and not stand around as that table on the far side was still available but not ours and no one was leaving any of the others. Ok no problem. We weee excited as the musician was lovely. My BF then for and tells the host so that the server would know we were there. We sat w no menu, no service for about 15 min. A gal swing by and asks what drinks we want and we requested a drink menu as I know I've had an amazing Martini in the past but forgot which one. It took a long time to get the menu then a long time for her to get the drink order. At this point I'm slightly frustrated as we in no way were in a rush we were there to enjoy but one our date night at a high end establishment to not get service is in no way fun. Another gal brought the drinks and shared our server was swamped and I said yes that I understood. So the original server never came back and the other gal took our order. Again, I get it's a Friday night and I get being swamped, and we had the great music so I'm trying to just enjoy my date. The Shrimp Cocktail App was costly but delicious and that was great. When the bone in Ribeye came it was cooked perfectly (MR) nice and pink throughout but it was very chewy!!!!! We ate it anyway. During this time I had to flag down the waitress for a second glass of wine for my BF. I didn't even want to stay for another drink or desert as it's not if to be begging for service at a high end restaurant, it's embarrassing!!!! Then to have a bone in Ribeye to be chewy? Saw 2 managers running around as they were busy, but never stopped by or even looked our way. My take away would be just don't sit at the piano, but w the food being just mediocre I won't be back and that's too bad as I have liked that brand in the past.

Here to get a to go order recently and left a tip only to discover later that hosts and hostesses don't get the tips they go straight to managers?! I would have never left a tip if I had thought it was going to management. This is a really bad business practice and I hope that ownership rethinks it.

We have been back a bunch and I am remiss for not updating my reviews. The piano bar has gotten awesome. The fellow last night will be a star. Bougee deliciousness. Why not pull out those sweet pumps and head over for some fun. Service is phenomenal. Shout out to Brittney. Drinks always great, food ridiculously perfect. Great spot. Love.love.

Excellent steakhouse with beautiful atmosphere. We sat by the window facing a great view and enjoyed first class service, fine wine, wonderful side dishes . Mastros met our high expectations.

My husband and I have decided to try high end steakhouses at each of our birthdays and anniversaries. He took me to this restaurant for my birthday. We understand the food is high end and therefore expensive. I would have liked to see a combo option on the menu but that's not how they do it. Ambiance was not good. We sat so close to the tables next to us it was hard not to hear their conversations. For the price paid for the food I would really expect a classier ambiance. The waiter was great. A lot of personality and class. But he was pretty busy and it took awhile to get to us to take our order. In husband and my opinion Ruth Kris was much better. We don't plan to return to Mastros.

Worst experience. I felt so beyond uncomfortable. I am 20 years old, and the manager came over to hand me my check (which had no trouble being processed) just to confirm it was my name on the card? And baby me on how to sign it? Told me "here's the page you sign, this copy's yours, and don't forget to take your card" as if I've never paid a check before? So condescending. Not to mention the busboy scraping the crumbs straight onto the ground, the waitress serving my friend a side dish she didn't order without asking her if she wanted some, and the music being so incredibly quiet you could hardly hear it, and them playing radio songs and the song "Fuck you" by Celo Green.

My wife and I came here for our date night. We had a Friday evening comedy show to go to at the Civic Center across the street, so this is a very short walk to our show. You can valet your car at Mastro's and walk to the venue if you let the valet service know in advanced. We had reservations, so there was no wait to be seated. The steaks good, but that is expected for their price point. If anything, their steaks are a little undercooked. They warn you that the meat will continue to cook because of the hot plates that are used, but those plates cooled off very quickly and the meat did not continue to cook much longer after it was served. The sides were average and their bread selection was good, although not complimentary like some other steakhouses. My biggest complaint might be that this restaurant does not enforce a dress code. I know we are in SoCal, but there are clear guidelines on their website stating there is a dress code. I saw a few patrons enter with shorts...very disappointed because this is supposed to be a "nice and classy place". Also, the tables are placed very close to each other, so there is no privacy for an intimate date night. Not sure if we will return because we can get better steaks and better date night experience by driving to Woodland Hills and visiting our Ruth's Chris. If you want a nice outting near the Civic Center, this will fit the bill.

The only high-end restaurant in TO, this place is usually outstanding. My most recent experience was not. Most of the food was quite good, and if you dine here with any frequency, you come to expect spectacular food. The broccolini side was disappointing. They didn't trim enough of the stems and instead served with the fibrous / woody part still attached. While this is a real miss for fine dining, the rest of the food was on-point. The overall experience wasn't great. Our server was distracted and mostly invisible to us. Once the food arrived, there was the lightning quick flyby with no inquiry as to how things were or if we needed anything else. We were never asked if we wanted additional drinks after beverages were initially served. We were there celebrating a 30th birthday, but nobody there knew that because nobody asked (every other time I have ever dined here, one of the first questions asked is if you are celebrating anything). They did remove one item from the bill in recognition of the poor service (although we didn't say anything; this was the restaurant proactively recognizing the poor service). Definitely a disappointing evening and hoping this was an isolated bad night an not indicative of a broader degradation of standards.
