BEST STEAK OF MY LIFE!
I'm actually not a steak girl. I like fish, chicken and am even starting to experiment with tofu. But at Mastros, even the most avid vegetarian is making a major SLIP by not trying the steak.
You walk in and are immersed in the beautiful aroma of delicious steak (I almost cannot believe I just typed that but it seriously was a great smell!). We had a reservation and sat in a lovely dark room with really interesting decorations and lovely jazz music playing. The dinner was a celebration of the beginning of my school year and the end of my boyfriends summer semester and I really do not think we could have had a better meal to celebrate.
I began with the most amazing cantaloupe martini on the face of the earth-so cool and ooh so refreshing. We were then greeted with our bread basket full of a variety of lovely starches- pretzel rolls, olive bread, sour dough bread and crackers were all nicely arranged for our viewing and eating pleasure. Believe me; it is hard to not get carried away!
We each started with salads. I had half of a chopped salad and the bf had half of a Cesar. We were both very pleased! After the salads I had the salmon (SLIP SLIP) which was wonderful but nothing anywhere near as amazing as Brian's bone in fillet (recommended by the server over the fillet). For our sides we shared steamed broccoli and creamed spinach. I loved both although Brian claims that Morton's has better creamed spinach (but not better steaks). Between the two of us we had plenty of food and I even took half of my delicious salmon home-leaving no room for dessert.
The service was the best I have had. The valets even gave us bottled water for our drive home.
If you want to reward yourself or others with an amazing meal and all around perfect dining experience, this is your place! Where it lacks a view (like Elements) it makes up for in premium service and food!
