We weren’t hungry enough to eat a big meal but still received the same impeccable service. We had AMAZING oysters to start, gumbo and bisque that sang and lovely salads. Their signature raspberry pie for dessert was a winner. Delightful experience.

Dom the moment e arrived we knew we’d picked a great place for our first night in Chicago. We had a mocktail and a glass of red whilst waiting for our table. Lovely decor and ambience. Our waiter was very helpful and talked us through the menu. Food was outstanding. We had calamari, fried shrimp and crab linguine. They gave us a complimentary slice of key lime pie. Oh my god this dessert was amazing. We were so full after dinner we were going to skip dessert and this arrived!! It would have been rude not to eat it. The whole experience has made a great start for our 4 nights stay.

Steakhouses in Chicago are a dime a dozen which makes it hard to choose one over the other. Mastro’s has never disappointed. They check all the boxes and do so to be among the top 5 in my book. Thanks to the crew there for helping my family get out the door quickly for a play last night!
