I've eaten here several times prior but last nights visit was disappointing. We started with Calamari..and it was bleh. It was well seasoned but it tasted like something you'd get at Claim Jumper (Hopefully that's not a sign since the parent company of Claim Jumper now owns Mastros...). However, our server picked up that I was less than thrilled with the calamari and graciously removed it from the bill for us.
Onto the main course. I had the 12 ounce filet, medium rare, and while it was served on a hot plate, the steak was cool and the outer half-inch was extremely rough and dry. Again, not what I'm used to from Mastros.
The Gorgonzola mac & cheese was good and as always the warm butter cake was to die for.
Maybe we caught them on a bad night but I hope this isn't a sign of things to come since mega-chain owner Landry's acquired them in late May.
Dominick's has been outperforming them lately.
