   We have been to this mastros a half dozen times and my wife will only eat steak well done. It’s an easy thing to do butterfly and hit internal temp of 170. Yes overcooked for most but it’s how she likes it and it’s easy to do especially for a trained chef. Hell I’m not trained and I can do it relatively well. She sent it back because it was still pink In the middle. It came back it was a burnt lump of coal. She ended up eating it but let our server know that it was burnt to a crisp and said she was sorry. The Manager offered to comp us a desert for the trouble but we had to leave for a Play and could not accept. We will be back in 3 weeks for my son’s graduation dinner. Hopefully we will get a chef that knows his craft a little better than the one running the grill tonight.

   We usually sit at the bar so we can order when we are ready, the bar wait staff are excellent, we can also enjoy the entertainment. It’s our once a week Friday night date. We always leave saying what a great evening.

   It was our first time there celebrating our wedding anniversary. Customer service was excellent. And our food was not disappointing. We will be back.

   As expected, the service was excellent. Unfortunately, the 12 oz filet I ordered was not tender, possibly because it was overcooked. I did ask for medium plus but I've never had a filet at Mastro's that was so difficult to cut. It wasn't just dry, because I like a dry steak. The quality of the filet was just poor and not worth the cost, which was $360 for 2 of us. I didn't object at the time because we were already late for our show at the South Coast Repertory. Very disappointing.

    We were here to celebrate a birthday. Staff were nice. Drinks took a long time to prepare. They missed a strip of bacon on one of my drinks, which they brought out later when I was halfway into the drink, and then they offered extra bacon for the mistake. Instead of offering another drink. We were baffled. Also, steaks were dry without much taste. As far as ambience, it was loud and felt crowded. We expected more for the price point. We will avoid this location in the future.
