Mastro's Steakhouse

We arrived here on Friday night, and they told us the dress code when reservation. I wore a long skirt, but when I opened the door, I saw a family wearing sweatpants and slip-on shoes. The atmosphere was pretty good, with live music and a modern bar. I was looking forward to the food but I can only sigh because I was disappointed. We ordered 6 oz fillet $54, dry aged ribeye $89, and side dishes $16 each. My fillet was too dry and had a bad texture. Among the side dishes, only the wild mushrooms were good. The others like Brussels sprout were too dry, and the spinach and mashed potatoes were very ordinary. We brought a bottle of wine, corkage fee $50. Not sure if we will come back again .

Night out with friends & this was the perfect way to start the night. The food was delicious, service was great & music in the background. We all ordered different things to try....I ordered the Lamb Rack, it was sooo good. Make sure to make reservations. I will definitely be back & recommended if are looking for a good Steakhouse.

I had really high hopes for Mastro's, and while parts of the experience were great, a serious mishap brought things down. 🍽️ The Food: 4/5 The bread was fantastic, and our meals were genuinely delicious. Even after reheating it at home, the flavors still held up, which is impressive. Drinks were also solid, so no complaints there. 👮‍♂️ The Service: 3/5 Our server was absolutely fantastic. She was attentive, noticed right away when I burned my hand, and made sure we were taken care of. Huge credit to her. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience wasn't as smooth. The plates were scorching hot, like straight out of the oven hot, and no one warned me! I tried to move my plate off the edge of the table, not realizing how dangerously hot it was, and ended up burning my hand. I went to the bar, grabbed a glass of ice, and kept my hand submerged to cool it down. I tried to stay low-key about it, but my server noticed right away and asked if I was okay. When I told her what happened, she immediately brought over the manager. They gave me burn cream, which I appreciated, and comped the meal. They even packed everything up nicely for us, which was thoughtful. 📅 The Follow-Up: 1/5 Here's where the experience really fell short. The manager told me he would follow up the next day to check in on my hand, but I never heard from him. For a place like Mastro's, that's unacceptable. If you give your word, you need to stand by it. 📈 The Verdict: The food itself was honestly quite good, even after reheating it at home. My server was wonderful, and her attentiveness was the highlight of the experience, but the overall situation left me frustrated. I'm giving this two stars because while the food and service were solid, the careless handling of the hot plates and the manager's broken promise were hard to overlook. I expected better from a place like Mastro's.

Excellent Food, but Service Could Be Better I recently dined at Maestro Restaurant Statehouse, and while the food was absolutely excellent, the service didn’t quite meet expectations. Every dish was prepared with great attention to flavor and presentation, making for an outstanding culinary experience. However, the service was a bit slow and lacked attentiveness, which took away from the overall experience. If they can improve on that aspect, this place would easily be a 5-star destination. Still, if you’re looking for amazing food, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Best Birthday ever!! July 8th was my birthday and my husband made last minute reservations and we were able to spend the evening in this lovely atmosphere with nice music m, low comfortable lights and great tasting food. The waiters who assisted my husband and I were Ray who shared his love of the menu choices and options that he thought me and my husband would enjoy. Along with Brittany, who was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu choices and selections along with descriptions of the flavors. The night was busy and both still managed to work the room double back fill our beverages along with making sure we had the best dining experience. Afterwards ,our left over food was taken and packaged perfectly to go. I forgot to mention the menu read in bold neat writing “Happy Birthday Kashawna Wills” which made the visit and evening twice as special and personalized . On our way out I wanted my husband to capture a picture of this perfect evening and which he was failing at the attempt, Ray came out offered to take the pic and even kneeled to get a perfect upward angle. Excellence! I will return and speak highly of this experience until the next!

We made reservations about 2 weeks out for the day after valentine’s day and this was quite the experience! From having our server nicolas provide 5 star service and the food we ordered coming out just right, this establishment is worth every dollar. I ordered a steak and my partner ordered sushi, and we were also recommended the lemon drop and berry drinks. We sat on the second floor and had a gorgeous view of the mall area. Truly a fine dining experience. Fantastic experience and if you are in town, THIS is the place to be.

We had an amazing experience here for our Anniversary. They had an "Anniversary Menu" for us, delicious appetizers, soup, salad and a Steak entree that were all incredible. We ended with an Anniversary Dessert plate that was super fantastic. Highly recommend this place it's a Five-Star Restaurant, but should be a Michelin Rated Restaurant. It was absolutely, God's gift to us.🙏

Had a good birthday dinner there. Tried the Kansas city steak. I liked it. The mac and cheese was really good as well. Cheesecake dessert service was nice.

Another Phenomenal Dinner at Mastro's I've been to Mastro's several times now, and this dinner did not disappoint. Evan took excellent care of us throughout the evening, and the sommelier selected a perfectly crisp white wine to start our meal. I began with my go-to pre-dinner cocktail, the Tiki Time, and enjoyed the delicious bread service--especially the pretzel bread, which is always a standout. We had the pleasure of speaking with Chef Manuel, which made the evening feel even more personalized and special. The seafood platter was absolutely out of this world. My niece was a bit intimidated by the oysters, but I loved how sweet and fresh they were. For my main course, I had the grilled salmon, which Evan recommended I try blackened--it was amazing. We also shared several sides, including the scalloped potatoes, broccolini, and indulgent lobster mac & cheese. If you have room for dessert, you can't go wrong with the signature butter cake served with vanilla ice cream--rich, warm, and utterly satisfying. All in all, another phenomenal dining experience at Mastro's. Thank you to Chef Manuel and Evan for making it such a memorable evening!

Date of visit: 8/1/2025 My wife made reservations for my belated birthday dinner two weeks prior for 7PM on 8/1/2025. We arrived early and were seated promptly at a table near the bar, kitchen and servers station. The first thing we noticed was how loud it was, this included the piano player/singer. She was very good but I expected a softer, jazz-like selection in a place of this caliber. The server, Brittany, was very good but it was a busy evening and somethings were slow but not worth noting. Food: My wife had fish and I had the bone-in ribeye with shared baked potato and creamed spinach....all excellent! The chopped salad before dinner with good but the salad dressing was lacking flavor. Parking: this is a challenge at Valley Faire Mall. You will find place to park but, depending upon the date/time, it could be a challenge. Mastro's does offer valet parking. Ambiance: here is where they take a "hit". With making a reservation way in advance for a birthday, we expected better seating; and there were better tables available (upper level was not even offered). Our table was in a "high traffic" area by bar, kitchen and server station. This diminished the entire dinning experience. Extra touch: since it was my birthday, they had special menus with my name printed and provided free dessert. Cost: dinner for two (cocktails, salad, entree, wine by the glass) is around $250-$300, give or take. No surprising. Conclusion: I would like to revisit sometime in the future but this first encounter gives me pause.

This is an overdue review of our past two experiences at Mastro's. Our first time here, we had no reservation and waited about 40 min, but got an exceptional bar low top table and enjoyed the live music with our incredible meal. The service here is top notch, wait staff ensures you have everything you need at all times. And, if you're ordering cocktails, they will ensure to keep you topped off. Second time here, we had a reservation and sat at a bar high top table. High top tables are not generally my favorite, but it was hot and we were by the open doors. Ended up being a great spot to see the drinks being made and enjoyed live music again. Both visits we shared and enjoyed the Chefs Cut ribeye. Plenty of steak for two adults. The lemon drop cocktails are basically buy one get one free as they give you the shaker and there is always another full round - plus they pack a punch. We have also ordered the wedge salad, prawn appetizer, scalloped potatoes, white cheddar Mac n cheese, broccoli and a few other things. All incredible! We will for sure be back soon.

Mastro's Steakhouse does not disappoint. The restaurant was elegant, spacious and comfortable. The quality of the seafood and steaks were excellent and delicious. When my wife and I went for our anniversary, the menus were custom printed to celebrate the occasion. When my wife fell ill during the dinner and we had to leave early, the manager offered a re-do. Even though it is a successful national chain, the customers are treated like they are at a high quality neighborhood bistro where you are on first name basis with the owner. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

Stopped into Mastro's for dinner with coworkers and had a great experience! No reservation, but was able to be seated promptly. Modern and open atmosphere, service staff was friendly and offered great recommendations- which was helpful as it was the first time for some of us. Started off with cocktails and helped ourself to bread service, which you have to do! The pretzel bread was amazing. Ordered a few items to share and pick at; Truffle fries, Shrimp Cocktail, Salads and Brussel Sprouts. Girl dinner at it's finest. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. We were celebrating an early birthday and was served a slice of cheesecake on the house which was a very kind gesture and was probably one of the better cheesecakes I've had! Loved the live music and semi open seating on the level floor, fresh air and live music is such a vibe!

Came for a birthday celebration and the staff made it a point to make the birthday girl feel special from customized menu to complimentary desserts. Rack of lamb was tasty and the ribeye was delicious.

Kicked off my big 3-5 right last year with a fancy schmancy dinner at Mastro's with the fam! We were seated downstairs, which was quite noisy next to the bar but hey, we had the pleasure of listening to a live singer & keyboardist. She was great! Ashley waited on us and was fun + informative. She took one look at our empty table before dessert and said, "where in the world is that butter cake?!" Service was excellent all around. I didn't realize the staff ladles out the shared side dishes, now that's prioritizing the customer! Eats: *Crispy Garlic Tuna Sashimi *Mastro's House Salad 1/2 portion *Filet Mignon 8 oz x2 *Alaskan Halibut *Herb Roasted Chicken *Lobster Mashed Potatoes *Truffle Butter Sautéed Wild Mushrooms *Sautéed Broccolini *Sautéed Asparagus *Roasted Brussel Sprouts *Bread Service Complimentary Birthday Dessert: *Butter Cake OR Slice of Cheesecake Cocktail: Tipsy Flamingo, heavy on the raspberry. It was a bit too strong + sweet for my taste. Truffle butter mushrooms were amazing! Went so well with the butterflied filet that they pan sear in butter. Lobster mash =) Staff comes round handing out chopsticks for sashimi & sushi. Fresh & tasty tuna topped with fried garlic slices. Gotta love halibut! Squeeze on some lemon and add dabs of tartar sauce. Roasted chicken almost seemed fried with its crisp exterior. Mastro's house salad is dressed to the nines with a cream based dressing, ham, shrimp, bleu(?) cheese, & greens. We ended the night with vanilla ice cream topped butter cake, drizzled with strawberry sauce. This place is definitely meant for special occasions and they treat you like kings & queens. I'd make a second floor reservation for those wanting more of a quiet atmosphere. First floor's popping with drinks & good vibes. Thank you, Mastro's, for a grand birthday celebration!

I visited this awesome restaurant two weekends ago! First time and I was not disappointed! My sisters and I were there to celebrate God's Goodness on our life journey. The Greetings, the kindness the welcome was top tier! Oh my we were overwhelmed with the kindness, service, compassion that Michael and Tiffany gave to us thru out our lunch experience. I can go on and on about Michael & Tiffany absolutely loved the incredible service. We were like they treated us like family. My sisters and I were so comfortable! The service was amazing, the food was incredible delicious. We had lemon drop cocktail, lobster roll, pasta, prawn cocktail, burgers, and more. Our names were personalized on the menu, the trio of desserts. This lunch I tell you was top tier! First time and will always dine at the San Jose location across from Santana Row. Oh I forgot to mention Hector awesome sauce! If you want a top tier experience and folks that show you how to be treated at a dining establishment run to Maestro's! Thank you Michael, Tiffany and Hector! Well done!

Went to Mastro to celebrate Father's Day after hearing good things about this location! Unfortunately, it's everything you would expect from a lower end chain steakhouse. Steak was too chewy and lacked a lot of flavor. There was also so much fat on the steak that wasn't rendered off. It made around 20% of the whole ribeye inedible. Sides were overly greasy and doused with so much butter. Obviously the pricing is pretty steep as well for it being a steakhouse.

I was excited to return to Mastro's Steakhouse during my visit to Santa Clara this weekend, especially with a good friend joining me for a long conversation over a great meal. We were fortunate to have Rushawn as our server, and he instantly made an impression. Warm, gracious, and incredibly attentive--he told us from the start his job was to make our night perfect, and he lived up to that. We did run into a few hiccups, none of which were Rushawn's fault. I ordered a Belvedere martini but was served a dirty martini instead. Easy fix, and a quick re-do. For dinner, I planned to order the bone-in ribeye, but Rushawn recommended the larger Ribeye Chop Chef Cut for just $10 more--and he was right, it was excellent. We probably overdid it with the sides: a baked potato for me, garlic mashed for my friend, and brussels sprouts (which came with a surprise $15 upcharge for steak bacon--worth knowing in advance). The only real disappointment was the baked potato. At $15, I expected fluffy and tender. It arrived undercooked. The replacement? Same issue. Rushawn took care of it and comped the dish without hesitation. To make things right, he surprised us with a complimentary warm butter cake--and it may have been the highlight of the evening. Absolutely delicious. As I told Rushawn, things can go sideways in any restaurant--it's how the team handles it that defines the experience. He handled everything with professionalism and heart. A first-class server and a big reason I'd come back.

Great place to celebrate a birthday dinner! Remember to contact them about adding your name to the menu for a sweet touch at celebrating your birthday! Came here for my dad's birthday and they got us a private room and also free desert! Very good service here! Lovely steak house. The time we came there were live singers and people playing piano which made the evening very nice!

Came here for a date with my boyfriend because we'd heard nothing but good things and we love a good steakhouse dinner - Forbes Mill is our go to place so we had to give this place a try! We started with the bread service, then had the bone marrow, got filets (rare) and shared the baked potato and asparagus. We also had one round of drinks. He had a martini, I had a prickly pear mocktail. The bread was good, I liked the diversity. The bone marrow was good too; the small salad that came with it helped cut the richness of the marrow. The steaks we ordered rare - which our waitress confirmed with us that they'd be pink throughout with a cool red center. We cut into these steaks and they were more like a rare you'd expect to see in Europe. Cool red pretty much throughout. Could we have sent them back? Probably. But they were still good, just a lot more rare than either of us were expecting. Generally though something we noticed is that the food seemed just a tad under seasoned. Everything just needed a bit of salt. The sides were good, nothing special to really report on. For the drinks, my boyfriend said his martini was overshaken and he didn't really like that it was served in the shaker. While the perception is that you're getting more cocktail, it's really just watering down your drink. He said his drink started off overshaken, and when someone came to pour more into his glass, they shook it even more, thus watering it down further. My drink was very good, but our waitress never asked if we wanted another round of drinks, not even before offering us the dessert menu when we had finished them. They had a singer/piano player that was nice. Overall the food was decent but I don't know if we'll be back. Maybe not on a Saturday night when details like that have less of an opportunity to fall through the cracks.

Mastro's is now a San Jose staple! I've gone here about 5 times now that they've opened. The amount of food you get for the price makes Mastro's a better steakhouse than other places. Rushawn's service was amazing. I just don't recommend going on the weekends. I feel like the food tastes better and comes out faster on the weekdays which makes sense. We had a spoiled oyster and the manager was very kind and gave us a free sorbet. I really enjoy coming here whether for an intimate dinner or a big party! I recommend their watermelon cocktail!

Stopped by Mastro's just for dessert after work to satisfy a sweet tooth, and I was honestly impressed. The presentation was beautiful, and the dessert itself was just as good as you'd hope -- rich, flavorful, and totally worth it. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the warm, elegant atmosphere made it feel like a little escape at the end of the day. I wasn't expecting such a full experience just for dessert, but now I know I'll definitely keep coming back!

I've been coming to this Mastro's location once every few months (last visit on 8/1/25). It's our go-to spot for special occasions and when we just want to have a nice dinner after a trip to the Valley Fair Mall. They've always been accommodating to casual dress and shopping bags. The food is consistently excellent. While not every cut of steak is prime, they're always flavorful and cooked to perfection. The chilled seafood appetizers are fresh, well-presented, and a great way to start the meal. Steak sauces are complimentary (bernaise and peppercorn) and if you prefer more variety, you can ask your waiter for a half-order of most of their sides. Service has been the one area that's felt hit or miss in the past. While food generally arrives promptly, servers often overlook small requests or don't check in as frequently as they should. That said, I've definitely noticed a recent effort to improve. On our latest visit, the staff went the extra mile to send us home with a fresh bread basket, which was a thoughtful touch. If there's one thing that could elevate the experience even more, it would be a little more recognition for returning guests. A simple "welcome back" would go a long way in building that sense of connection. Overall, still one of my favorite places to dine, and I'm excited to see how they continue refining their service.

First time at this Mastro's Steakhouse. Made a reservation on OpenTable and I was able to get the date and time slot that I wanted arrived a bit early for our reservation and we were seated right away. The two young girls at the front counter greeted us and then escorted us up the stairs to our table. We were seated at a table with the view. Our server came over, introduced themselves and asked if he wanted to order any drinks, we looked over the menu, ordered some drinks, some appetizers and chose our entrées. DRINKS Lemon Drop Loved the presentation with the dry ice and the smoke coming out of the glass. Our server shook it up and served it tableside, which was a great presentation of the drink pour. He also left the shaker and kept filling my martini as needed. I would say it was maybe about 2 1/2 martinis, but no complaints here. It was prepared perfectly and tasted great. It was so pleasantly refreshing and delicious. Chocolate Martini The chocolate martini was also served tableside, and the shaker was left at the table and refilled as needed. The presentation of the martini was pleasantly tempting to the eye. The taste was amazing. It was so good. It almost tasted like a chocolate shake. Appetizers Roasted Bone Marrow $30.00 I was excited to try the roasted bone marrow, however, it fell short. This appetizer came with two bone marrow servings on a bed of greens with capers and cheese. It was accompanied by some toasted bread pieces. Scooped up the bone marrow and some greens and tried it. Took my first bite and it wasn't what I expected. It was a little bit bland. Added a bit of salt and and it was a bit better. When I saw the size of the bone I thought we would be getting more bone marrow than we actually did. It was an OK appetizer. Next time I will pass on the roasted bone marrow and try something different instead. Heirloom Tomato & BurrataCheeses $22.00 The heirloom tomatoes came in red and purple, and they were cut in fours. Burrata cheese was a good portion to accompany the tomatoes. The heirloom tomatoes and Barada cheese was drizzled with dressing. It was the perfect amount not to over power the tomatoes and cheese. The salad was just OK because it wasn't actually a salad. It was more in my opinion an appetizer because it was just tomatoes and cheese no greens. Will pass on the heirloom tomatoes and Burrata cheese and try something different next time. ENTRÉES Filet 8oz $64.00 The filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Cut into it and took the first bite and it seemed to just melt in your mouth, it was so good. It was flavorful it was juicy and it was well seasoned. Really enjoyed the steak and I would order this again. Bone-In Kansas City Strip 180z $73.00 The hubs went with the bone in Kansas City strip steak and it really good and flavorful. It wasn't dry at all. It was prepared well and it was well seasoned. It was very very good and it had a little bit of fat on it, which is always a little added flavor. The portion of the steak huge so we had some leftovers to take home. Lobster Mashed Potatoes $45.00 The lobster mashed potatoes did not disappoint. They were buttery and creamy with lots of lobster bits in it. The lobster mashed potatoes is one of my favorites. I tried it at Mastro's Steakhouse in Las Vegas and I was hooked. Dessert Cheese Cake The cheesecake was good and flavorful, and I liked that it had a thick graham cracker crust. Coconut Butter Cake The coconut butter cake was really good. It had two layers of butter cake and it was covered in coconut. The cake was moist and loved the coconut flavor on it. It was a good portion enough to share among three and we still had some to take home.

I really want to like this place, but unfortunately I left feeling a bit disappointed. Let me start off by saying the restaurant itself was beautifully decorated. I went at night for dinner - the setting was dim and there was a live performance with someone playing the piano and singing. I absolutely loved the ambiance of the place. Our server was very friendly. I did not get her name, but she was attentive and always made sure to stop by our table often to see if there was anything we needed. The food, however, was extremely overpriced for what we paid for. I already knew that walking into the restaurant, we were going to spend a lot of money, but we left feeling a bit underwhelmed. As soon as we were seated, our server asked if we would like some bread to start with. She did NOT mention that there was a charge, so it would have been nice to know. Our old fashioned was great. No complaints. We received our sautéed sea scallops and I was a bit taken aback by how small the portion was. Three pieces of bread and a few scallops for $60 was not worth it to me. We also ordered the lobster mashed potatoes. This I enjoyed and they did serve a big portion. The server mentioned there was 1.5lbs of lobster in this dish, but it seemed less than that. For the "chefs cut" rib ribeye, our server said this is the most tender cut of meat out of the menu, but it was a little chewy and we weren't too impressed. Overall, the food was just okay and I'm not sure if I would come back.

Gorgeous restaurant with an extravagant menu. Ideally make a reservation here, the top floor or supposed to be fancier I believe. I came here for a client dinner, and they made us check in our plastic water bottle (with water in it) because there are no outdoor drinks allowed...and then when we went to pick it up at the end they "lost it". We ordered 2 filets, dry aged ribeye, lamb shops, lobster bisque, bread ($5), mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, and white cheddar Mac and cheese. The steaks were alright, all of us ate about half, it was lacking in season I'd say, but the cuts of meat were high quality. The lamb chop was undercooked of what we asked for so we had to send it back. The lobster bisque was delicious, and had large chunks of lobster in it. For everything we got plus 2 glasses of wine, we paid just under $600 for this meal. It was good, but I think it felt not worth that price tag. The service from the manager was great, he was checking in often and helped serve. It's a great touch that they serve your sides to you and plate up your meals at the end. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal or bad service, but nothing about it has me jumping to recommend it or come back.

Came here for a special date night. From start to finish everything was amazing. Food was delicious, menu choices were so hard to choose. Our server, she was absolutely amazing. 5*** plus all around. Definitely was a wonderful evening.

Can't wait to return to Mastro's--everything about the experience was unforgettable. The service was top-notch; our server was incredibly attentive and friendly. The ambiance was perfect, with live music downstairs that we could still enjoy from upstairs. As an appetizer we got Appetizers the Shrimp cocktail & maguro lime roll (both phenomenal) For the Main Course, we got: Porterhouse steak (absolutely to die for), Lobster mac & cheese, Sautéed mushrooms Dessert is the one in the picture--I don't remember the name, but it was just as amazing as the rest of the meal!

I've returned to this restaurant many times because I love the live piano music. Unfortunately, the food is very inconsistent. My favorite dish is the Wagyu beef rolls--when they're made well, they're delicious, but half the time they're dry and tough, like reheated leftovers. The ribeyes were just okay, nothing memorable. The biggest letdown was the 40 oz Australian Wagyu Tomahawk. For the price (250.00), I expected excellence, but it was surprisingly chewy and low-quality. Service was mixed. Our server was friendly and didn't push upsells this time, but she was inattentive. We had to ask multiple times for basic requests, and she completely forgot one of our side dishes--we ended up canceling it because it arrived after we'd finished our meal. For an upscale restaurant, the staff needs better training. Right now, the service feels more like Applebee's than fine dining. I'll probably come back for the ambiance, but the kitchen and front-of-house need to step up their game

From the moment we walked in, Mastro's Steakhouse delivered an exceptional dining experience. The service was impeccable -- attentive without being intrusive, with every staff member going above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. Our server was knowledgeable, warm, and made excellent recommendations throughout the night. She is also very gorgeous! I wished I remembered her name, BESTIE It's nice and sophisticated. Dim lighting, live music, and a well-appointed interior made for the perfect upscale evening out. The THICK BACON was cooked to perfection -- juicy, flavorful, and tender. Every side dish complemented the meal beautifully, and the butter cake for dessert was truly unforgettable!

Arrived a bit early and was able to wait in the seating area until our reservation time. It was quite busy but our server checked on us regularly. We started with the bread service, they brought us two baskets but we were still only charged $5 for all of it. For our group of 5, we ordered: Tuna tartare: (4/5) - this was a nice appetizer! The bottom layer was more like cornflakes which was interesting, the flavor of the tuna was good Chef's cut ribeye chop: (5/5) - we got this medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly! Nicely seasoned and not tough at all Lamp chops: (5/5) - probably the best lamp chops I've had from a restaurant! We were surprised by how tender it was Mac and cheese: (4/5) - super cheesy, a classic Creamed spinach: (3/5) - a bit too creamy? Not bad but not the best steakhouse creamed spinach I've had Scalloped potatoes: (5/5) - creamy and cheesy without being overpowering Mushroom and truffle gnocchi: (3.5/5) - was good but not much truffle flavor, the gnocchi was also a bit overcooked Garlic truffle cauliflower: (5/5) - this was great, roasted nicely and flavorful Butter cake: (5/5) - their house dessert, the cake was warm and came with a big scoop of ice cream! We came mainly for the sides, but were pleasantly surprised by how well the meats were cooked! I also like how they do large pours for their wines! Definitely more of a business-dinner vibe overall, but still a good place to come for a quality steak dinner and sides!

Booked a last minute dinner here the week of New Years. Valley Fair is a very busy shopping center, especially during the holidays, so we opted for valet right off the bat. We were seated promptly and happy to hear they have live music everyday! The girl singing was really good and the vibe was on point. The customer service and food was excellent. Their pretzel bread. Bomb. House salad. Bomb. Steak. Bomb. GARLIC mashed potatoes. Bomb. Butter cake. Bomb! The only thing I would pass on next time would be the lobster Mac and cheese. This menu item fell short and lacked flavor. Overall great first experience!

Had an amazing dinner here tonight. Everything from start to finish was top notch. The food was incredible; our steak and lamb were cooked perfectly. What really made the night special was the service. George was our server and he absolutely crushed it. Super friendly, super professional, and just all-around awesome. He made great recommendations, kept everything running smoothly, and honestly just made us feel really well taken care of. George is hands down my favorite server from any food establishment. The whole vibe of the place is fancy but still comfortable. Great ambiance, great drinks, amazing food, and exceptional service. Can't wait to come back!

Mother's Day brunch was a $500 disappointment for myself, my sister, and mom. Dinner or drinks are usually amazing. Skip the brunch! All of the hot items were overcooked- like disgusting and overcooked. The blintzes were crispy, brown, tasted stale, and the crepe batter was too thick. Sausages were overcooked. Eggs were overcooked. My mom and sister loved the cold seafood bar. We told a manager that the food was overcooked and the blintzes were bad. No follow up. We also told our server and had no follow up. In addition to the sad food situation, brunch is mostly self served and only on the first floor. You have to carry your plate up the stairs. We requested to sit on the patio due to this and my food was still cold by the time I sat down.

Came here for dinner with my family, party of 6 plus our baby girl. Service was wonderful, very attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Most of us ordered steaks, customizable seafood tower, and several sides. Did not stay for the complimentary desserts because our baby girl was getting a bit fussy. We ordered bone in Kansas City strip, chef's cut ribeye, Austrian tomahawk, rack of lamb, sea bass, plus several sides, french onion soup, and a salad. I thought the food was okay. Are there better steak houses.. of course, but for the price, I thought it was decent. I would come back for the service because the staff there made us feel at home just spending quality time with family. They never interrupted us while we were having a great time just talking over dinner.

Was craving some steak to treat myself after having a Christmas window shopping through Santana Row and the Valley Fair Mall. It was packed full of Christmas parties, so the FOH staff recommended I head to the bar. It was very lively for a Friday night and they had a live piano singer. The only thing that I would say bad about this place was that the bar was very busy. I had to ask my bartender 3 times for water. I know it was a busy night, but I was seated at the bar for a while ordering my steak and meal. He even forgot to add in my truffle cauliflower. I tried asking a bartender who wasn't busy but she ignored me. I know it's holidays and super busy, but if someone has a full on dinner at the bar, a glass of water would be nice without having to ask for it considering the atmosphere. I'm paying the same price as seated guests at the bar, I expect the same level of service.

I chose Maestro's for our client lunch on Wednesday 12/18 for a table of (8). I would like to comment on three specific incidents for this lunch. 1. Bussing staff was a bit abrasive when cleaning up the tables. She was grabbing plates and utensils very aggressively. Her reach over our heads were not welcoming and was intrusive. 2. Our server Evan was professional and made good recommendations on menu items. 3. My dry aged rib-eye steak had a hair on the hot plate. Evan brought it back and said the chef advised it was a crack in the plate. I'm 100% sure it was a hair because I was able to move it around. I don't think they believed me but they took it off the check. I told him the steak was fine but they should be aware of the hair on the plate. Tip was still 20%. I would have liked an apology but I felt like a criminal sharing the hair on my plate.

We had a great experience here at Mastro's. The service was awesome. Thomas and the rest of the staff were timely and very attentive. The food was great and it was a new experience to have the plates were served steaming hot with the seasoning before the entree. The dessert also was amazing

The wife and I have wanted to try this place since it opened but looking at the prices on the menu was complete sticker shock. Well it was my birthday on December 27th and I had a $250 VISA gift card from work for X-Mas so I felt a little less bad about eating here. We made reservations for 6pm, arrived and got seated right away. We were seated upstairs near the wine. Cyrus was our server and he was very friendly and accomodating. We started with cockails and decided to split the lobster bisque and Mastro's salad. The portions were certainly large enough for 2 people and the cocktails, while being highly priced at around $20 each, gave you pretty much a second serving in the shaker cup that the server brought. I ordered the 8oz bone in Filet Mignon and the wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass served pan seared with garlic mashed potatoes and broccolini as sides. The coursing was well done as we never had to wait very long for the next food item. My Filet arrived on a sizzling plate. When we took our first bites we were both blown away. I have had many Filet's over the years but this one was without a doubt the best one I have ever had, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The wife's Sea Bass was amazing as well. It almost had the texture of Lobster. We couldn't believe how good everything was. For dessert we ordered the Butter Cake. Cyrus told us we had to get the seasonal one, which was supposed to be with Cinnamon and Pecans. But when we got it, they ended up giving us the regular cake. It was still very good but not quite what we ordered. Because it was my birthday they also gave us a cheesecake. I LOVE cheesecake so this was a prefect little addition. All in all the food and experience were amazing but I just can't get over how expensive everything was. The bill for the 2 of us ended up being about $400! If you're rich and money is no object, then you certainly can't go wrong with a meal at Mastro's. If you're not rich then it's hard for me to recommend this restaurant. I'm conflicted because we really loved the food. I just can't in good conscience say that it's worth the price.

The last part of my early birthday celebration was my work bestie surprising me with a dinner at Mastro's - a place we been wanting to try since we've heard/seen so many people frequent this place at different locations. I was able to spin a wheel of restaurants I wanted to try out, and Mastro's was a lucky decision we got out of that wheel. My work bestie had a whole day planned out for me, so Mastro's was the last thing to experience before calling it a night. She said it was pretty easy making reservations online and if you need to change the time, there were multiple times available (in case you're running behind or wanting to be seated early). The restaurant does call you day of to confirm your reservation and to make sure you know the dress code. This place does enforce a dress code - which is more high end/business casual/formal. As long as you look nice and presentable (no baggy clothes, sneakers, ripped clothing, gym attire, etc.), you should be able to dine here without any issues. This location is located at Westfield Valleyfair near Shake Shack. There is a parking garage nearby where it will charge you after 2 hours of parking there. It's located outside of the mall in front (closer to Cheesecake factory). It was easy to spot. My work bestie checked in and we were seated within 5-10 minutes of our reservations. They have live music playing downstairs that is broadcasted around the entire restaurant. Not too sure how they divide each section, but my work bestie mentioned that it was for my birthday and gave us a menu that had "Happy Birthday!" in it. The menu was completely the same as the original one. I believe if you wanted them to include your name on the menu itself, they would charge you a fee for that. FOOD/ITEMS/PRICES: We were both feeling pretty full after a whole day, but decided to get a main entree and a few sides. We got: -1 Tomahawk steak 32 oz $195 -Garlic mashed potatoes $16 -Creamed spinach $16 -Creamed corn $16 -1 Cinnamon pecan butter cake (unsure of price) -1 free birthday cheesecake -1 spicy mango drink (non alcoholic) (unsure of specific name and price) My work bestie graciously paid for dinner for me, which I appreciate so much!!! REVIEW: -Tomahawk steak: We opted to not get any sauces with this and to have this medium rare. This came out perfect!! The tomahawk steak had such a beautiful crust on it and it was served on a hot plate with garlic butter. The steak itself was seasoned well and honestly didn't need anything else with it. I thought it was perfect as is. I would love to try other cuts of steak here and try their compound butters. 4/5 -garlic mashed potatoes: these were good! They were soft, garlicky, and very smooth! I really loved eating this with steak. 4/5 -creamed spinach: these were good to say the least! I do prefer other place's better, but this was good in addition to my steak. 3/5 -creamed corn: this was good!! The corn itself was very sweet and I preferred this over the creamed spinach! 4/5 -cinnamon pecan butter cake: man we were so full at the end of dinner, we thought we should pass on the one thing we really wanted to try. However we heard another server mention desserts to another table and our jaws dropped when we heard cinnamon and pecan together. We were justifying if we should get it now or later, but we ended up just getting it LOL THIS WAS GOOD! The butter cake literally falls apart and the ice cream paired with this was delicious. You get a nice crunch from the pecan and overall, this dessert was not as decadent or sweet by the looks of it. Definitely recommend trying this seasonal flavor out! 4/5 -cheesecake: I was literally so full but I wanted to try a piece of the cheesecake before they boxed it up. The cheesecake is SUPER LIGHT, smooth, and very airy. It literally melts in your mouth and I love how thick the graham cracker crust is. The fresh fruit with the cheesecake tied everything together. This is good if you're not a huge fan of sweet things! 4/5 -spicy mango drink: I was eyeing this one, but ended up not getting this. My work bestie did get this (forgot the original name), but this was good! It had such a great spice level to this and I loved the mango flavors. 4/5 Overall, my first experience at Mastro's was great! The service here is top tier and the servers are super nice. They will make your dining experience a great one, and the food came out in a timely manner. I'll definitely come back to try other items off the menu whenever I want to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.

Alwys here best Bart tender AJ Today the best guys was Danny great service from him Very helpful But the rest of the team since the change Bart tenders very poor service I'm very disappointed I order maistros salad for my girl was really fishy really strong smell never happen before. The bar service was sucks take over 20 min to attend other customers show up and the was firts to get the service very disappointed on the service this the second tome on the month Normally I m here every Friday or Saturday spending good time but dice AJ left the service it's suck any way lemon drop still the best of all the bay But service sucks

Our first time coming here for my birthday! Overall we had a good experience. I definitely recommend making a reservation and checking out their dress code because they do enforce it. For drinks, I ordered their signature holiday cocktail and it was nice and refreshing. I forget the name of it, but it was cranberry inspired. My husband also picked out a Zinfandel which he enjoyed. My husband and I both got filet mignon for our entrees. For sides, we ordered the brussel sprouts, French fries, and Mac and cheese. The sides were MASSIVE. They could definitely feed way more people. We had plenty left over to take home. I felt that the service was just a smidge too slow and that the steak could've been a bit more flavorful. Overall, the place was very nice inside and I enjoyed the experience. Would come again!

My fiancé and I treated her sibling for their birthday since they wanted to try and this was the first time any of us had ever been here. We had a reservation set for 12 noon (right when they open) on a Saturday for 8 adults and a baby. Upon entry the ambiance is definitely upscale while being modern and inviting for those who just want to watch a game at the bar. We were seated in the back right corner since there was more room to fit the stroller. At the top of the menu was a Happy Bday greeting with their names printed on it which was a very nice personal touch. We started with some roasted bone marrow, lobster bisque, A5 wagyu beef roll, and the Mastro's Seafood Tower which included an assortment of oysters, dungeness crab cocktail, and shrimp cocktail to share. The crab was plump and sweet, the shrimp was massive with every part of the shell peeled off (even on the tail too) and the bisque was creamy with chunks of lobster. Honestly, everything was a hit! For the main course, my fiance and I tried both the Bone-In Ribeye and the Dry Aged Bone-In Ribeye to compare side by side. We also ordered some garlic mashed potatoes, broccolini, roasted brussels sprouts, and fries to share with the entire table. Considering the Dry-Aged Ribeye is only $6 more, I would highly recommend this over the regular ribeye because it is just insanely beefy and incredibly tender. All the sides were fantastic and I really appreciated how the staff actually served it onto each of our plates which shows just how committed they are to providing excellent service. Overall, I was very impressed with the food as I do think it tasted better than some other steakhouses in the Bay, but obviously costs more which is expected but not ideal. The main downside is that the service does take a very long time. Even though we are a party of 8, it certainly isn't as large as 12 as I've seen in other reviews. So I understand they want to serve all of the dishes at the same time, but we were also the first group seated in the restaurant that day. So it's not like half the restaurant ordered ahead of us since not even a quarter of the tables were filled at the time we placed our order. Obviously we don't want to feel rushed, but we also find it odd to to see plenty of smaller tables (2-4 ppl) in our vicinity that ordered after us and paid their bill before us. Besides the long wait, the service was impeccable.

Amazing restaurant with live entertainment. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would certainly be back. Food and service at its best.

I wouldn't expect anything less than five stars from Mastros! This will be our third location to try out the Mastro's Steakhouse - Santa Clara, SF, & Vegas. All of them have been superb but nothing with wonderful service, great food, and atmosphere! The Santa Clara location was just as busy as the SF, even though the ambiance was different. However, I can say that we had the best service at both and can't wait to do it again.

Went for hubby birthday. Service was great, food was okie more in the salty side especially the side dishes. I am not sure if I will return in the short time since all the food we ordered are easily cooked at home hahahaha The side dishes was okie, I like the most was the mushroom and missing one of the items for the togo. Got lemon cello sorbet for dessert - the worse sorbet ever. Can't taste anything and only 1 scoop for $12

First time here and was definitely impressed from the menu to the dessert. Our servicer was so helpful and gave us recommendations to try for our first time. My husband let them know it was my birthday and they give you a personalized menu saying happy birthday and my name. I got a lemon martini and they left the shaker so I had basically 2.5 drinks for the dinner. We got the bread and scallops to start. My favorite bread was the pretzel bread. The scallops were so good and the sauce complimented it so well. The ribeye was great and so as the lobster mash. For two people we had a lot of leftovers. I would definitely come back with a bigger group to try more sides and cuts of meat.

I've been to other Mastro's locations, and this location didn't disappoint as well. I made reservations for my hubby's birthday. I even called ahead to get the dessert ready, so I didn't have to order it, and it would just come out when we were ready. They were super helpful over the phone and went through the dessert menu with me. They do give a complimentary cheesecake for birthday celebrations, but I also added the butter cake, which they're known for. I recommend it! It was really good. We ended up sharing a 40 oz. tomahawk. It was expensive, but it was still pretty tasty. I feel like I've had better at other steakhouses. We also got the gnocchi, which was really good! I would totally get it again. The cauliflower wasn't bad either. I like the presentation of the dessert platter. I would come here for a special occasion for sure. Our waitress was super nice and gave us some good recommendations.

First time at Mastro's. We came in on a whim with no expectations, and we were blown away! Since we were a walk-in, there was a 55 minute wait. However, the second we checked into our reservation, we felt well taken care of and spoiled. The food was amazing, and our service by Jenny and Jesse were stellar! They were attentive, kind, and very informative. I highly recommend this place whether it is a special occasion or just a fun night out.

Service was great and food was even more delicious. Definitely trying some more items off their menu u next time. Got a Rib Eye and broccolini and it was cooked to perfection. Their bread basket is elite as well. Great place to grab drinks as well.

George is the best server hands down and made the evening one that was relaxed with his attentive service and attention to detail. Bringing two young kids to a nice restaurant is not the easiest of tasks. The evening actually started off a little uncomfortable as the original server had forgotten waters, our bread basket and forgot to take our orders and put them in. We had been waiting almost 30 minutes for waters to be served. When George took over, He made sure to check on us for water, and checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. We made several orders of different items and never once did we have to wonder when we could order. The food was delicious and George was both so positive and helped to explain the different preparations available. Thank you, George for making Mastros a 5-stat luxury restaurant experience!

We have probably driven past Mastro's Malibu a thousand times and were so excited to see one here in the bay area. We ordered the bone marrow to start which was absolutely delicious. We accompanied the marrow with some martinis which were also really good. For mains we both had filet mignon with sides of the loaded baked potato and truffle cauliflower. Everything was delicious and we also really enjoyed the service! The ambience was very LA and chic. We will definitely be back :) Thank you Mastro's for making the experience so memorable for us!

Really average, ok, high end elegant steakhouse. The ambiance is very modern and clean lined. Excellent live entertainment. Service was attentive, but not extraordinary. The filet was reported by my frequent filet eater husband to be one of the best he's had. Our friends had the rib eye and said it was excellent. The creamed spinach was bland, the mac and cheese had no bechamel so it was noodles and cheese. Very fine cheese granted but not Mac n cheese. Overall it's an impressive dining experience for a special event, but nothing to set it apart from any other steakhouse.

Came here for a bday dinner and the service was amazing. There was live music the whole night and it created a very intimate atmosphere. The Menu is a la carte and the 3 main meats we ordered was the Porterhouse, Bone in Ribeye and New York Strip. Bone in ribeye is now my favorite. It was very tender, juicy and seasoned well. I suggest to pair it with the Truffle butter wild mushrooms. They also added an extra desert to share with my party of 5.

O V E R A L L General perspective here is expectations were high high considering that there is some dress code according to the website ---- that food was good (not mind blowing). I normally wear athleisure that can blend with appropriate tech office wear... but because of the dress code I opted for uncomfortable clothing. I ended up seeing some people wear crewnecks or hoodies dining in.... So I told myself, the food better be good enough for me to dress up... the food was good but not good enough for me to dress up. Also the breadbasket was $5???? And there wasn't even a specialty butter. Alexander's had this amazing croissant bread + specialty butter that I would have been willing to pay for. Literally anywhere else bread basket is included and free. O R D E R Bread basket ($5) - none of the breads were impressive. You have better choices at a local bakery... and just plain butter. Seafood tower - I've had better oysters (not bad but not impressive), but the shrimp was surprisingly good. There was lobster and crab there too but everything was just good. 3 various cuts of meats - nothing too impressive, good but Ive had better in other restaurants. Lamb was a bit tough. 4-5 various sides - all tasted good but the more you eat them, they all tasted the same. S E R V I C E Service was great - the lady who attended our table was very kind and helpful. No problems there. O T H E R This will not be a choice if I'm tasked to pick a steakhouse. People were great but honestly not worth the Santana Row/Valley Fair parking stress and the "up to discretion" dress code and the bread basket.

Came here on a Sunday night for dinner for a party of 4. Had reservations. Parking is always a little bit of a challenge. Accessibility- the bar is on the first floor and the restaurant on the second floor. We used the stairs but I'm assuming they must have an elevator. Ambiance- had live music with one sultry singer at the piano. Service- from host team to service team, quite professional and efficient Our orders: Tuna tartar- it a little too spicy for my palate. Had chili flakes in the tuna. And had jalapeño in the avocado. Mac and cheese- very delicious and creamy Dry aged ribeye: medium rare- it was tender Bone in Kansas City Ribeye- not as tender as the dry aged Rack of lamb- cut, this was the best at our table and the most flavorful Brussels sprouts- this was our least favorite. It barely had any taste and a little too chard on certain Brussels. If they even roasted it with some balsamic glaze that would have made it a little better. Return Factor- this is a hard one. At one hand the atmosphere was lovely and had that "special occasion" vibe and it is at Valley Fair so it's fun and lively to walk around too. The service was excellent and professional. But if we are comparing flavors on the steaks, we prefer Alexander's more. The only dish that had flavor for our table was the lamb.

I don't think you can charge these prices for steaks, and not cook them perfect. Medium rare which I order all the time and make at home, was definitely closer to rare. They try to enforce dress code, but given Santana row crowd , it's a mixed bag. When you mix it with the Santana row traffic, need to valet park, I will return to Sundance or do steaks at home !
