Mastro's Steakhouse

"You’ll find the business crowd clinking $35 glasses of whiskey as they laugh back into their plush velvet seats at Mastro's. The downtown steakhouse is just steps from Metro Center, which makes it easy for people to get to, whether they’re staying in the area or making a quick detour off the blue line before heading back to the suburbs. The juicy, well-cut steaks are consistently well-seared. Just make sure to order an extra dollop of garlic butter, since they tend to be under-seasoned. " - Omnia Saed

"Mastro’s is the rare place where they’ll shake the martini in front of you and leave what remains in the shaker behind for you to refresh your drink with later. Their signature spin on the cocktail is vodka-based, and garnished with bleu cheese-stuffed olives." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Missy Frederick

"Options on this dramatically presented platter include chilled king crab legs, oysters, crab claws, and shrimp, all basking in a cloud of nitrogen smoke. The price varies depending on selected seafood." - Tierney Plumb, Gabe Hiatt

"The downtown steakhouse unites Calyx gin, Italicus “Rosolio di Bergamotto” liqueur, and lemon over ice with a splash of Fever-Tree tonic. The drink is garnished with a Luxardo cherry and mint ($19)." - Tierney Plumb

"At the glitzy downtown steakhouse, Alaskan red king crab is sautéed with black truffles and tossed in Asiago alfredo." - Tierney Plumb
