  • Mastro's is expensive. The portions are not Cheesecake Factory super-sized. However, for a special occasion or "just a drink, dessert, and people watching", it really is as old-school elegant-glam perfect as one can find. Regulars include a very dapper gentleman of about 80 always in a beautiful suit and silk tie, a mildly famous cowboy writer in his Stetson, various 30/40-somethings on their third date, and plenty of locals and out of towners celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and mergers/aquisitions. Sure, the food is good. Very good, in fact. But I think it's really all about the bar at Mastro's. Sexy martini's (the "smoking" lemon drop martini complete with dry ice, the chocolate martini with it's own chocolate covered strawberry, or the quintessential dirty martini), a truly outstanding wine list and great free bread (and the pretzel bread is the best you'll find outside South Philly) make for a good ol' time. And then there's the music. Live piano playing, often accompanied by a female vocalist liven things up and are usually quite good at getting the crowd into that warm, buzzy, "if you can't be with the one you love...." mindset. Typical selections include Neil Diamond, Carly Simon, a few Beatles selections. Most recently, however, I was there with a small group sharing the (sinful) butter cake and drinks.. when the pianist starting playing a medley of WWII military theme songs ("Anchors Awheigh", the Air Force Theme Song, You're in the Army Now, etc.) with many of the crowd singing along... and then made an announcement that there were 2 of the only 89 living Congressional Medal of Honor recipients in the room that night. The entire place, bar and restaurant, stood and applauded for several minutes, several people went over to shake the two (very senior) men's hands. Now that's just the kind of thing you would never expect... but you really could at Mastro's.
