| - Gosh this structure sure is beautiful in the middle of the mall at ARIA. I was in Las Vegas on a double date with my neighbor and his girlfriend for my partner's birthday. At the tail end of our trip we had reservations for Mastro's Ocean Club. It was pretty grand, let me tell you.
The service is simply superior. You're not going to get a higher class feeling, especially for being inside a mall.
We had the lobster mashed potatoes and onion rings for the table (the onion rings were AMAZING), and we each ordered a different drink (personally, I ordered Dragon Fire, which was tequila with all sorts of sweets and a jalapeno topping).
Our main meals were all impressive in their own ways. I ordered the lamb, which was simple and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon, which was cooked to his perfection and would've rated this place 5 starts. My neighbor ordered the ribeye, and was displeased with the outcome. My neighbor ordered medium rare for his ribeye, and my partner ordered medium-well for his filet mignon (because he will NEVER eat bloody meat), and my neighbor's ribeye was much more well cooked than the filet mignon. My neighbor's experience was lackluster, but TRUST ME, had my neighbor said something to the server immediately it would've been fixed ASAP. My neighbor didn't want to make a big deal, so he just said something at the end of the meal that it was okay, and he ate it, but he wasn't happy with it because of how well it was done. The server was very apologetic and took the ribeye off our bill. His girlfriend had the mussels, and she thought they were good but wasn't floored by the textxure.
Mastro's was great, but this is definitely one of the restaurants I go to once because I don't want to have another meal while watching ostentatious women picking out what they want at Balenciaga across the way with a perfect view. It was annoying.
