| - The meal may have taken 3+ hours (we had a large group and were in no rush, but still) but man, was it fantastic.
The group started with the smoked salmon, fried calamari, and some shrimp dish (i'm allergic so I don't remember what it was exactly). The smoked salmon was delicious. Not anything special necessarily, but it sure was delicious. The fried calamari was cooked perfectly and came with such a delicious sauce, a superb aioli as opposed to the more traditional tomato sauce.
One thing the group really appreciated was that Mastro's agreed to specially make a burger for one individual who didn't want to eat steak. Of course, the individual got sick, but we were so appreciative of their willingness to accommodate us that we asked to have the burger brought out and we all shared it - cut it up into sliders. They were melt-in-your-mouth incredible. For a classy steakhouse, Mastro's sure makes an incredible burger.
I had the Chilean Sea Bass for my entree, most everyone else had steaks. Boy am I glad I went with the Sea Bass though, I was already feeling a bit full from the appetizers and then the sides on top sure was a lot of food. The fish was cooked perfectly, seasoned excellently. Flaky and fairly light actually, it was a good sized helping as well. Would definitely get again.
For sides the table all raved about the Lobster Mashed Potatoes, but I'm allergic, so I couldn't eat it. Which was fine by me because the Gorgonzola Mac & Cheese was heavenly. And the portion of the side was enormous. Honestly, I could've had the mac and cheese side as my entire meal and gone home happy.
Food was great, service was as good as expected, just a wonderful meal overall. Would go back again in a heart beat.
