If you don't have a lot of money for an amazing super romantic all-out steak dinner, at least call them for some lobster mashed potatoes to go...I PROMISE it will be the best $23 on mashed potatoes EVER!
Tucked away in what looks like a business strip across from Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, City Hall doesn't look like a steakhouse and the entrance can be hard to find (keep going down Camelback West and turn in across from Neiman). You walk into a cozy, upscale venue that doesn't demand you be dressed to the nines. It's equally a great place for the date of a lifetime or an upscale hangout with friends (there is a loungy area by the bar with live music).
This is the place where waiters replace dropped forks before you've reached to grab it, where they are talkative but make the best recommendations ever, and where you will stop talking because the food is just too good to slow down for conversation.
The steak speaks for itself--just order it. I still have other favorites in the valley, but their steak is definitely in the top tier of quality.
It is the sides that totally make this place.
I never thought I would like creamed corn--this place makes it southern style and I basically ended up stealing it from my husband.
LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES. These changed my world. Seriously. I can't even make this. It was creamy and meaty and flavorful and enough to eat for lunch for the next two days! I took this to go and thanked the Mastro's staff while I reheated it the next day.
This place isn't cheap, mind you. It'll set you back just like any high end steakhouse dinner. So make sure you are hungry and you are ready to appreciate it.
Anytime husband wants to meet me after I'm done shopping, this is my go to place. I absolutely love it.
So much food we took enough home to feed us both for lunch the next day and part of dinner!
They also separated all the components for me so that everything could be reheated separately.
