On February 14, 2022, we went to Mastro's Ocean Club for a Valentine's Day family dinner. Definitely one of those dinners where we decided to order a little bit of everything and enjoy the experience. We started with the Jalapeño Tuna Sashimi and Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes. The tuna was fresh and simple, with the sliced jalapeños adding just enough heat. The crab cakes were thick with a good amount of crab instead of being packed with filler. For dinner, we had the 22 oz Rack of Lamb, 8 oz Filet and Sautéed Sea Scallops, along with sautéed mushrooms and french fried potatoes. The rack of lamb was impressive when it hit the table and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The scallops were cooked well and served in a buttery sauce that required some bread on the side. We finished with the Warm Butter Cake, because after a meal like this, you might as well go all the way. Mastro's is expensive, but you already know what type of dinner you're signing up for when you make the reservation. For a special family dinner on Valentine's Day, the food and overall experience delivered. read more

I almost never leave restaurant reviews, but after our experience at Mastro's Boston, I felt like I had to. My girlfriend and I came in for our 7-year anniversary, which was noted on the reservation. We were really looking forward to celebrating somewhere nice, especially since we were in the mood for a nice steak and we've been there once before and loved it. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived, with only a few tables occupied, yet the service felt unusually slow and inattentive. My girlfriend ordered a steak that came out overcooked and was also butterflied, which we had not asked for. It took a significant amount of time to receive the steak in the first place, so by the time the issue was addressed, I had already finished my meal. My girlfriend spoke with the manager, who did accommodate us and had the steak remade. Since we had been waiting so long, our sides had gotten cold, so he also brought us fresh sides, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, by that point, the experience had already become pretty frustrating. What bothered me just as much as the food was the overall service. Our server seemed annoyed with us throughout the experience, and even after we mentioned to the manager that we were there celebrating our anniversary, there was no acknowledgment or even a simple "happy anniversary." We weren't expecting anything complimentary or special treatment--we simply expected the level of hospitality that comes with dining at a restaurant like Mastro's for a special occasion. I do want to give credit to the manager for making an effort to correct the food issue and bringing out fresh sides. However, the combination of the slow service, the quality of the food, the attitude we experienced from our server, and the lack of any acknowledgment of our anniversary made what should have been a really special dinner feel disappointing. For a 7-year anniversary, we chose Mastro's because we wanted the experience to feel special. Unfortunately, we left feeling more like an inconvenience than guests celebrating an important milestone. This was honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in Boston, and I don't feel the experience came close to matching what we paid for. read more

This place is outrageously expensive. Although the service is not bad, the cost of food and drinks cannot in any way justify the quality they serve. A thin Alice of salmon, grilled with nothing at all in the plate, costs around $45. Anything else is extra, and sold as side dishes. A bowl of mashed potatoes is $16, few roasted Brussels sprouts an other $16, bread $12. They serve you smelly tap water and if you want something else, the bottled water is another $12. I do compliment their service, which was good, yet again their try to sell you high prices drinks. read more

We had a Birthday celebration dinner. Everything was great and they even printed the names at the top of the menu's. We had martinis and appetizers. The Lemond Drop presentation was amazing..dry ice fog flowing out of the glass. We shared roasted tiger prawns, hamachi crispy onions, tuna sushimi, lobster roll. all filling and then came the dessert ! Outstanding ! read more

Came here to celebrate my anniversary at the best steak house ever! Mastros is my choice of celebrating important times because the service is always amazing, and the overall layout of this restaurant is beautiful. Blake was an amazing server and I appreciate all honest opinions when inquiring about items! Big shout out to Devon as well! Such great staff. Lobster bisque was so creamy and delicious. You could never say no to the great variety of bread they have! The scalloped potatoes and truffle cauliflower that accompanied the perfectly cooked Chef's rib eye were an excellent choice. To top it off, the plate of dessert was heavenly! Thank you Mastros! No complaints here. :) read more

This review is for the Mastro's Ovean Club in Malibu, California. I don't know how to fix it. I had a very delicious meal tonight. Unfortunately the waiter & Maitre D did not provide timely service. It took 20 minutes until the waiter took the drink order. We received a great cocktail, great appetizer, salad & entrees. The waiter did not come back to check if we needed any ice water, ask how the meal was or offer additional drinks. I had a hard time getting more coffee several times. I even got up from my table to ask another waiter for help. I spoke to the Maitre D regarding the poor waiter service. Nothing changed for the remainder of the meal. I got up another time to place an order for dessert. read more

Went here for my birthday which was an amazing experience!!! I got a menu with happy birthday embedded into the menu.(I got to keep it) My steak I got there was amazing also!!! I very happy with the service they were very kind! The ambiance was amazing also a great view of the ocean. With many cool areas. read more

Let me tell you something: when my besties and I show up, the vibes shift, period. Lol. We went to Mastro's to celebrate my bestie's birthday last Saturday and we had a time! First off, shout out to the doorman who was closing that night because sir knew his angles! He took the cutest pictures of us and made sure we were camera-ready before we left for the evening. That's the kind of staff energy we love. Now about our seating: . We were initially placed in a side room separate from the main dining area, and baby... that wasn't going to cut it. So we kindly asked to be moved because hello, nobody puts baby in a corner(I love dirty dancing). We are front-and-center, main-character energy only! They moved us, no fuss, and that's when the night really started. Let's talk about our server, MARIO. Give. This. Man. A. Raise. From the jump, he was friendly, on point, and by the end of the night, he was calling us by name like we were longtime friends. He made our experience unforgettable, and if Mario's not serving, I'm not coming. Simple as that. Put him on permanent rotation for all our future reservations. Now the food. I had the stuffed crab salmon, blackened and it was seasoned to perfection. My HS bestie had the same, and the birthday girl got the New York sirloin and loved it, zero regrets. Everything was delicious, and the portions? Generous! The ambiance was ambiance-ing. The music was on point and we were singing, head-bopping, and living our best lives. Mastro's knows how to set a mood. Overall, this place is always a vibe, but with Mario and the amazing doorman, it was a full-on moment. Catch me at Mastro's again soon, probably singing along to the music and requesting Mario by name. 5 stars. 10s across the board. Main characters only! Perioddddd! read more

Oh I loved this! Very pretty restaurant location facing the water. From the time I sat down at the bar to wait for my friend, my bartenders were extremely nice. Helped me with my selections and even when I couldn't finish my tar tar helped me seamlessly bring it to my table when my friend arrived. My friend took me here for my birthday and I have not one negative thing to say. Our server Yannie (sp?) was so incredible, I honestly thought we were her only table all night! She was sweet, have wonderful suggestions, and gave in to every ridiculous request we had. Angie helped bring out our huge seafood tower, complete with a light and smoke show, and stayed to joke around with us and helped us with some pro pic tips! Food was fabulous. We had the sea bass and the halibut, both very good. Seafood tower was excellent, caviar set up was on point, and side dishes (especially loved the mushrooms) were amazing. We loved our server so much that we promised a follow up trip just to visit her. read more

This is no doubt one of those establishments you think of for special occasions and worth the visit to come at least once. They have superb service, beautiful water views and solid traditional 4 star food. If you like raw bar, the presentation is instagram worthy and most entrees you get here will taste exactly what you'd expect it to be. Quality is superior though the food leans toward more simple and old school (think shrimp cocktail, steak, lobster, potatoes) without a whole lot of culinary creativity. Depending on what you order, some would also consider the price tag a bit too hefty for what you get. read more

This place is currently in the ' We don't care mode'. I'm not from Boston but if I was (my Brother is hosting a 50th) I would not bring out of towners here. Service is the weakest I have ever seen. Bread sucks. If you can't get that or service please get into a different biz. I feel bad for those who thing this place is a solid option. Would never come back here. Did I mention service sucks? She still hasn't been back while I wrote this. read more

Mastro's is everything you want in a high-end steakhouse and more. I've been to most of the top spots in the city, and nothing comes close to the full package this place delivers. Let's start with the seafood tower -- absolutely unreal. Towering, ice-cold, and packed with fresh lobster, crab, oysters, and shrimp. Presentation? A+ -- you could hear people at nearby tables whispering about it. Worth every dollar. Now the steak... melt-in-your-mouth good. I ordered the tomahawk and it came out with that perfect char and deep flavor only a handful of places can truly nail. Sides are shareable (get the lobster mac and cheese -- trust me), and the cocktails are spot-on. The vibe is classy but energetic, with live music in the background and a crowd that knows this is the place to be. Service was polished and intuitive -- never rushed, always on point. If you're celebrating something big -- or just want to feel like you are -- Mastro's hits every note. Boston has great restaurants, but this is the one I keep coming back to. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Boston! I love the taste of their steak, Gorgonzola macaroni & cheese, lobster mash potatoes, creamed spinach, asparagus, drinks! Brought some friends here and one of they obsess about the pound cake!! The view of water is incredible, usually they have live performer the times I've gone, it's just a lovely place. The service is always impeccable and worth every dollar $$$$ IMO. Dine out Boston week is also a good opportunity for a more affordable visit read more

This is definitely a nice restaurant, but I was very let down by the quality and the size of the portions compared to experiences I've had at other Mastros in the past. Also, I'm not sure if it's because it was a restaurant week or they've just lowered the standard for clientele but people were in there in sweatpants and baseball hats and the level of attention to dress code brought down the experience Service was good. This is just a small thing but for instance anytime I've ever gone to a mastros and I've been going for it was 15+ years, if I asked to take home the remainder of my bread basket they would just give me a new fresh basket to take home. This time they charged for the bread basket just to start with. When you're paying $85 for your steak alone I think you could throw in some bread. I'm not there to save money but throw your customers a bone read more

Amazing location, great service and good food in an upscale environment. Food: I really enjoyed my meal here! They started us off with a ton of bread which was delicious! The oysters were amazing and perfect for a spot like this. For my main I ordered the wild mushroom gnocchi which was so good! For sides, I recommend the scalloped potatoes - very creamy and cheesy! We got dessert and I'd come back just for the butter cake- it was too good! Since it was my birthday they gave us a cheesecake as well! Ambience: wonderful ambience - it's very spacious and has an amazing view of the city! Price: very expensive 1 but expected for a spot like this Service: good service where everyone was attentive read more

The service, food, atmosphere and attentiveness was wonderful-- definitely going to be a regular. Blake, Server, was excellent with recommendations, personality and knowledge of the menu. Robert, Manager, was hospitable as well. Thank you, Mastros-- excellent experience. read more

Came here for our anniversary. Have been here many times in the past, but tonight they dropped the ball. Food was good, but service was inattentive and indifferent. When we made the reservation we noted it was for our anniversary. At the end of our meal the waitress brought the check with no recognition that it was a special occasion. What's the point of asking if it is a special occasion when you make the reservation if they aren't going to recognize it. Kinda killed the vibe of having a special occasion dinner. Very disappointing experience. read more

My husband and I had our late Valentines dinner here last night and it was amazing! We have driven past hundreds of times and wanted to try it and we finally did and will definitely be coming back. We were seated immediately and although one of the premium tables in the window would have been wonderful, it was still great ambience and the tables were far enough apart that we did not feel like we were sitting right with the people next to us. There was just the right amount of noise in the background where you felt like you had privacy for your own conversation. We started with the cocktails and the house lemon drop was the most beautiful cocktail I've seen. It bubbled with dry ice, had the sugar rim, and tasted great. The cocktail is also actually a double because they bring you the shaker with the remains and leave it next to the martini for refill. The warm bread service was great. We were never without our water being refilled and someone near the table watching and making sure we had perfect service throughout. Kim was our lead server and she was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. The crabcake was full of crab and spicy,but a tiny bit burned around the edges, and the remoulade was perfection. The shrimp cocktail was very fresh. A big highlight for both of us was the lobster bisque,originally ordered to be just for me but it came in a very large bowl and was so scrumptious my husband had to try it and he finished it for me. Every bite had a chunk of lobster in it. Very rich and exquisite and would be a meal in itself with the bread service and a cocktail. Because of all of this delicious food, we changed our minds from the larger steaks and we both had petite filet. Our sides were the creamed spinach and the garlic mashed potatoes. The steaks were absolutely perfect, could not have been better,the perfect size with the amount of food that we were eating. We still ended up with a bag of food to take home. Looking forward to leftovers tonight. We also finished with the butter cake that comes so highly recommended and it was beautiful and delicious. It's enough for four people as we brought half of it home. We were in and out in two hours, perfect timing and not rushed. We are already planning our anniversary dinner there. I highly recommend to anyone wanting a special dining experience. read more

We hosted a business dinner with Mastro's in one of their private rooms and had a terrific experience working with their team. From finding the right tableware, to working together on a menu, the team made us feel well taken care of and managed the finer details so that we could focus on making the event as special as possible for our guests. We had Brian helping out with wine selection, and he made it really approachable to select a glass for dinner and for pre-dinner drinks. Cheyenne was so great to work with. She was there when we arrived, setting up the room - she saw that the tablecloth wasn't up to her standard and replaced it for us, and was patient with us as we were adding seat names to different spots on the table. As people were coming in, she was extremely responsive and knew how to politely approach people to get their order and make sure they could get what they wanted. She also took extra care of myself and my colleague, making sure we always had water in our glass as we were working the room. The food was delicious, and they made special care to ensure that everyone in our dinner party enjoyed their meal and had what they needed. Would absolutely work with them again for a professional and casual dining experience! read more

First time here and never want to come again. I had made reservations for my fiancés birthday dinner and was really eager for it. However our experience was very disappointing and almost walked right out. We arrived just in time for our reservation and got sat momentarily, a lady with long black hair came over and asked about waters and said she'd be back with drink menus and never came back. Almost 30 min had gone by and she would only pass by our table and not even acknowledge us then. Walking out even crossed my mind because at that point we didn't feel welcomed. A guy with glasses came by eventually and asked for drinks and apps and we got those started. By then we were so confused on who our actual server was. We then ordered our entree and sides and until the lady saw that we had ordered an entree on the pricier side, after an hour and a half she finally came to our table trying to make it all up by "gifting" our menus to us, offering dessert and even though we were celebrating a birthday the only thing we wanted to do was get out of there as clearly that's what they wanted us to do. I hope this is not how they treat their customers because they should not be treated any better or worse by what their check looks like or what they look like they'll order. As for management, make sure your servers are making everyone feel welcomed and acknowledged.The whole time I was really nice but they really ruined our night as it felt a waste of time to be there. Have been to plenty other "fine" dining places that are busier and have never been treated this way. Please do better. read more

Mastro's has a lot of good things about it, specifically the view of the water and the food. The ambiance is interesting - it's a classy, white table cloth establishment with waiters in uniform, but the music choice when I went was just awful. No need to be blasting live (?) cover music at dinner on a Wednesday. It should be jazz or classical at a place like this. Wait staff was kind of rude in subtle ways - not waiting for conversations to end before interrupting, for example. You expect better from them given the uniform and the fact that they sweep crumbs off the table. Portions are generous and well cooked. Everyone was happy with their food. I couldn't finish my steak and they asked to box it up, but the didn't ask to box up the sides on the table which were also barely touched. Kind of strange. I probably won't be back. read more

The waterfront view did not disappoint. We were seated by the window per request. The oysters were fresh. The bone in ribeye was just right- we went with medium rare plus as a compromise between medium and medium rare, and it was perfect! The service was superb. We were intrigued to see most customers were there for business meetings and in business attire, despite it was a waterfront restaurant and most people were in their yoga pants at Seaport. We enjoyed our champagne and wine with our meal. The whole experience was worth every penny. read more

Had an outstanding experience at Mastro's! From the moment we sat down, the service was next level and the food absolutely delivered. Steaks were cooked perfectly & sides were on point. Recommend the corn-creamed, mashed potatoes, and spinach. Huge shoutout to our servers Brian and Ruben. They were attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, wine, and made the entire night feel seamless. You can tell they take real pride in what they do and it made a difference. Mastro's continues to set the standard for both food and service. Will absolutely be back and will be asking for Brian and Ruben again! read more

I came in thinking it would be good. Oh wow. It was beyond expectations. Seafood tower had shrimp, lobster, crab legs, oysters... just amazing variety of fresh chilled Seafood. The wedge salad was OK. Not the best I've had, but who cares, the rest was superb. Ribeye was fired to perfection. Perfect cook on the meat. Paired it with the broiled lobster tail. This was a ridiculously good combo and I can't believe how much I ate. I did take ribeye home for the dog to finish though. I couldn't eat it all. Finally the signature butter cake. It's like the bottom of a cheesecake. Crumbly and buttery and just decadent. Vanilla ice cream on top. I had to finish it. It's so addicting. I need to get my pants two sizes bigger now but totally worth every bite. This place has great views of the harbor. A girl playing piano tonight was really mesmerizing the patrons. Very cool. Staff was on point. They attend to every need. Overall, an easy 5 stars for me. I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Great seaport location too. read more

Each year, my husband's birthday rolls around and he loves steakhouses. We are always trying new ones, since that's part of the fun for him. This year, he chose Mastro's. We had our reservations for 7pm and arrived a little early. We were seated right away... I think the time of evening that we were eating was on the early side for a Friday night. There was a lounge singer near the front, singing some variations of songs by Post Malone, The Weeknd, and Miley Cyrus. The music was fairly loud for people sitting in that area or at the bar, and thankfully we were seated further away. The ambiance was not as cozy or intimate as some other places we've tried, and doesn't have much personality. Our waitress, Heather, was excellent and attentive without being overbearing. She did recommend that we select less sides stating that portion sizes were large, and she was right. Even with taking off one of our side dishes we had plenty of leftovers. The food was fine... nothing that made me want to go back again, but certainly tasted fine. I think the lobster Mac and cheese was my favorite. The wedge salad was actually chopped iceberg, the twice baked potato and creamed spinach were passable. My husband's steak was fine- he said the food was fine for him too. They did bring out a cheesecake with happy birthday and my husband's name written on the plate, which was a nice touch and we appreciated it. The cheesecake was incredible! Fluffy and delicious. Best part of the meal and a nice way to end the evening. I'm not that familiar with places in the seaport, but if I were to recommend a steakhouse in Boston I'd say you should try Mooo. read more

We have been coming to Mastro's for a while now, and I have to say we are always treated with such respect and appreciation for our continued business. The management is amazing and always very accommodating and the wait staff is very friendly as well. We especially love Yennie. She is a bright ray of sunshine. She is always in great spirits and super funny and friendly. She is by far one of the best waitress's we have had and it is truly always a pleasure having her as our waitress. She is truly the best. Everyone is exceptionally great, and the food and ambiance is top tier. Highly recommend this establishment. Thank you! read more

I've been to a lot of high-end steakhouses and multiple Mastro's locations--and I have to say, this one in Boston is hands down the best. From the second we walked in, the hospitality was next level. The team was incredibly warm, welcoming, and made us feel so taken care of. Every single person we interacted with was kind, professional, and just really good at what they do. The food, of course, was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked steaks, delicious seafood, and the butter cake? Unreal. But what really sets this location apart is the team. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. Can't wait to go back--this is easily the best dining experiences I've had in Boston. read more

We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Mastro's this weekend with a reservation for 9:30PM. Parking was easier than expected on the Main Street. The hostess was welcoming, wished my boyfriend a happy birthday and promptly seated us. We ordered lobster bisque, two Caesar salads, broccolini, mashed potatoes, French fries, a porterhouse, and 6 oz filet. We paired our meal with a bottle of wine and margaritas. The food was good, but there are a few areas to improve. The dishes were warm, indicating they may have sat for a bit before reaching the table. The pricing, especially for drinks, felt on the higher side. While the service was polite, it didn't quite match our expectations. One suggestion is to be more transparent about the bread- asking if we want it, but not mentioning it's not free can be confusing. Most restaurants offer complimentary bread. Overall Mastro's provided a nice experience but there's rooms for improvement. read more
