came here the other day to celebrate my birthday and had another great experience, at another Mastro's Steakhouse.
having had my birthday dinner at the Vegas Mastro's the year before, i knew the bar was set high, and Scottsdale did not let down!
first off...wine selection...one of the best...period.
steaks. amazing. the kansas cut...perfectly charred on the outside...bleeding red and juicy on the inside...chewy but still tender...tasting of meat and butter...my favorite cut of steak to grub on...
also had the stone crab claws for the first time...i had an inkling that these bad boys were overpriced (15 bucks for 1 is insane) but damnit, it tasted amazing...served up with a nose clearing horseradish and some other creamy sauce...it was a sweet flaky piece of seafood that i thoroughly enjoyed...
ordered up a iceberg wedge salad with plenty of chunky blue cheese and bacon AND also ordered up the lobster bisque...creamy, rich, lobster flavored bisque with heavy chunks of lobster sitting at the bottom of the bowl...amazing.
last but not least. truffle gnocchi. by the time this came out with my steak, i was completely stuffed...and BOY is the truffle gnocchi rich...bursting with black truffle flavor, this dish is borderline "too much" for my palate...it didnt help that i was already at capacity when i started eating this as well...next time...no appetizers and no bread before the meal!!!
service was very good.
cost...expensive BUT well worth it...not to mention i got a "HIGH ROLLER" badge from Yelp with my check in there!!!
