| - I'm such a fan of the Mastro's chain - so when we were in Scottsdale for the golf tourney this past weekend, we had to check it out! The location is great - right next to Scottsdale fashion square which is an amazing shopping destination. The restaurant is swanky and chic and gorgeoussss, and the crowd is definitely dressed to impress!
It was also super bowl weekend, so we naturally didn't get a rezzie, but I usually prefer sitting at the bar anyway, so we walked in with the expectation that we will have to wait for seats. The place was JAMMING and so packed! The bar was overflowing and every table occupied. But a glass of wine in at the bar, we had committed to waiting for seats rather than going to a different restaurant. There is also live entertainment at the bar, and a small dance floor for those interested!
The restaurant is perfect for people watching, so we did a fair amount of that while waiting. Also made friends at the bar so we got seats faster than anticipated. Clutch! We ordered a bottle of cab after sitting down and then got the following - 22 ounce bone in rib eye, large order of crab cakes, half order of sweet potato fries. Everything was sooooo delicious, including the generous bread basket they offer. Steak was cooked perfect and served on a hot plate; cakes were meaty and seasoned right, and the fries almost tempura like and sooo addicting.
Mastro's seriously does not disappoint! And the price tag is so worth it!
