| - For the most special of occasions, Mastro's Ocean Club is king of providing excellent service, food and atmosphere. This has been my second time dining at Mastro's (first time for birthday, second for anniversary). To say that they will raised the bar even on the second time dining, is quite impressive!
Entering Mastro's you are taken immediately to your table (reservations strongly recommended, especially if celebrating a particular occasion). There is a bar area off to the left side, with ample seating, then to your right the general dining room area. A private dining room is available for groups.
Your waiter or waitress promptly arrives at your table to welcome you ever so warmly to Mastro's. Warm conversation is most certainly to be had, and most of all, it's sincere. Mastro's really made us feel like royalty (even with many people around us sharing the same dining experience), and conversation was earnest with our waiter and friendly.
Mastro's boasts a variety seafood and steak dishes. The highlight of this particular Mastro's being seafood; one cannot go wrong with their ever well stocked Mastro's Seafood Tower. This tower is truly amazing! It can be tailored for the amount of people in your group, and can include a variety of fresh seafood appetizers of your choosing. Of particular deliciousness, are their crab and their jumbo shrimp cocktail. Chilled to perfection, each bite is a seafood lover's dream.
For the main course, the 12 oz fillet is of most generous portion. Any steakhouse in the area would be rivaled to Mastro's generous portion and taste. Each bite (even with my being well-done) was juicy and flavorful. Be sure to pair your steak with a vegetable and starch, which rounds out your meal perfectly. Their steamed spinach is light, yet full of flavor. The lobster macaroni and cheese is full of rich and creamy cheese, and portions of lobster meat mixed in. This dish is extremely filling, but a unique experience for any macaroni and cheese lover.
To round out the evening, one cannot forget about their decadent desserts. For this particular evening, their Signature Warm Butter Cake was a delivery from heaven! This dessert is full of buttery and soft cake tastiness inside, along with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance out the warm cake.
I look forward to my next trip to Mastro's Ocean Club. Mastro's will truly pull out all of the stops to make your evening the most enjoyable in their surroundings and unforgettable dishes. Check out Mastro's Ocean Club for your most special of occasions. Mastro's locations can be found in Arizona, California, Nevada and Illinois.
