    This was our first trip to B&B, so we tried as much as we could. The 4 appetizers were some of the best that Houston has to offer! The crab cake was nearly 100% meat with almost no filler & was really mild. The cheese covered pork belly was better than any I've tried. Excellent tuna tartar & their calamari was atleast in the top 3 that we've had. For our main entrees, my wife had the wasabi crusted ahi tuna & it was really fresh. I had the prime rib. The prime was seasoned really well but not as tender as I was expecting. Over all, the food & service were excellent & we are looking forward to trying some different main entrees next time around.

    Another wonderful meal at Mastro's. The lobster bisque and burrata and tomato salad were both exceptional, along with all the wonderful sides. The dry aged ribeye steak and Chilean sea bass were both standout stars of the meal. All our cocktails were delicious as well and served perfectly chilled to the table. The overall energy and ambiance of the restaurant added to the wonderful food and service. The Cinnamon Pecan butter cake which is the current dessert special was a wonderful way to cap off a satisfying meal.

    The best steak restaurant in Houston. They have one significant flaw; the wine list. There are no reasonably priced wines on their list and many of the wines they do have are extremely overpriced.
