| - As we were leaving Mastro's, I told my husband to take a look around because I didn't think we'd be coming back soon. The vibe is nice but the food and service leave a lot to be desired. To their credit, the lobster bisque may well be the best I've had. After that, it all went downhill. I ordered medium rare and my waiter said that would be cold and red, and that if I wanted it warm and red, I should order medium. I took his advice and my filet was cooked through on the edges, pink in the center, and very dry. I should have stuck with my instincts. I don't think that would have done anything for the flavor, however. It was very under-seasoned. Same thing with the creamed spinach. No flavor. My husband had the porterhouse with the same experience. Also, the lounge act is ridiculous. It might be different when you are sitting in the main dining room, but we were stuck in a "cozy" back room where the music was piped in and it was like listening to a wedding singer they paid with a groupon. For $50+ a plate, I think we can do much better.
