| - Visited Bourbon Steak the night after Mastro's and Bourbon Steak disappointed - both in an absolute sense and relative to Mastro's.
I was sort of crammed in the back of a large table, so I may have been invisible to the waitstaff, but my water was never refilled and I was passed over for fresh wine about half a dozen times. I couldn't even get their attention by peering longingly in their direction in an effort to establish eye-contact. Maybe they thought I was stalking them, but really I was just thirsty.
I ordered the filet (along with 3 others at my table) and it was improperly prepared (ordered medium, it came rare). That was fine, I am not overly picky, but I thought it should have at least been warm. It was actually COLD through and through when it got to the table. Even this might have been fixed had the waitstaff ever asked, "and how is your meal." but, they didn't, so...
If you are ever in Scottsdale and in the mood for a filet, I would probably skip Bourbon Steak and seriously consider Mastro's. Oh, and if you go to Mastro's, get the lobster mashed potatoes to go with your steak, I hear they are amazing.
