I've lived in the valley almost 10 years and have yet to visit City Hall or Ocean Club...(shame on me!)
So I was pretty excited when some friends wanted to meet up at Mastro's. It was no surprise the food and drinks were divine. I've been to Ruth's a few times, but Mastro's is awesome in that the music is live and FANTASTIC, and it's a little more relaxed of an environment in my opinion. We had Oysters & Crab Stuffed Mushrooms to start off with. Pork Chops and Filet with a Spinach Salad for Dinner. All excellent!
The portions were SURPRISINGLY large, yet so is the price. However, you do get what you pay for and that was by far the best pork I believe I've ever had.
The martinis were fantastic and just a warning, you order 1 - but they serve it with the shaker and you get a whole second pour. Dangerous.
I will go back for sure, next time I cash out my 401k ;)
