We really enjoyed our dinner at Mastro’s. Everything was cooked to perfection and extra delicious (Lobster bisque, branzino and a filet mignon). The service was on point, and fast as we were heading towards an opera show afterwards and we didn’t have time to linger. We’ll come back!

We flew into San Francisco during the atmospheric river for a 70th birthday celebration. The weather was disappointing but our waiter was over the top great. He was friendly, informative and made the night special. The whole staff made us feel welcome and the food was outstanding. We even received a special birthday treat! Highly recommend this restaurant!
