| - Stopped in to Mastro's Ocean Club recently on a work related dinner. We got to sit under the Tree House that overlooks the Crystals Shopping Center.
After waiting about 15 minutes to be seated, we started with the Seafood Tower because nothing says over the top LV dining like a seafood tower. On this tower were jumbo shrimp, a variety of crab legs, and some oysters. Served on the side were a traditional cocktail sauce, their atomic horseradish, and a mustard sauce. I was a little too liberal with the horseradish sauce and can confirm that the "atomic" description is accurate.
For my main, I went with the Ribeye steak and the table ordered a variety of sides: lobster mac and cheese, creamed spinach, gnocchi, asparagus, and au gratin potatoes.
Unfortunately, the highlight of my meal were a few of the sides. I really enjoyed the lobster mac and cheese, the gnocchi, and creamed spinach, all of which were excellent. But my steak left a little to be desired. It was flavorfull, but the piece of meat simply had too much gristle. I appreciate a bit of fat on my steak, but this piece of meat had just a bit too much on and I had to cut around quite a bit of my meal. Based on the other reviews, it sounds like my experience may have been out of the ordinary, but from my experience, there are better places to try in LV.
