We really enjoyed our dinner at Mastro’s. Everything was cooked to perfection and extra delicious (Lobster bisque, branzino and a filet mignon). The service was on point, and fast as we were heading towards an opera show afterwards and we didn’t have time to linger. We’ll come back!

We flew into San Francisco during the atmospheric river for a 70th birthday celebration. The weather was disappointing but our waiter was over the top great. He was friendly, informative and made the night special. The whole staff made us feel welcome and the food was outstanding. We even received a special birthday treat! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Went there for a soft opening when it first opened to work the kitchen and training the staff, and it is just as great today as it was in 2008! Couldn’t finish the giant octopus so I ate the leftovers for breakfast and it tasted just as good. Amazing go to restaurant where there is something for everyone! And a stunning waterfront restaurant as well. Cheers and enjoy ~

We used Harborview for our business meeting reception both this year and the last and it has worked out splendidly. Roped-off space by the bar with high tables works well for 20 people (could be expanded into adjacent area), with a wonderful appetizer spread. Highly recommend!
