   Great dining. We were sat in the bar area at request at there was live music. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the piano player was awesome. If you like Manhattan's the Mastro Manhattan is awesome!

   From the valet to the server, including the men’s room attendant, the service was exemplary. The food and attention to detail was equisite. However, I have been disappointed in the several times I’ve visited in that the dress code, business casual, was not enforced. The ambiance was lessened by seeing people in t-shirts and baseball caps in a fine dining restaurant in the evening which effects the general mood in a negative way while dining. Thank you.

   Everything was outstanding! From our waiter, Anthony (or Antony?) to every bite of our dinner was top notch. Would highly recommend.

   The food was good but not great. My son loved the 10 oz Waygyu steak it truly is delicious. My lamb chops were plain and drowned in butter. My wife’s branzini was great. Bill was $550 with tip for 3 people (one glass of wine - no cocktails). So I would have to really consider whether a return visit is worth it. Frankly, my lamb chops at home taste better but the Waygyu is truly amazing.

   I am not sure what happened last night but as regular Mastroes customers yesterday was so sub par . The service was very slow the drinks with watery for martinis the garlic mashed potatoes had no taste, and the brussels sprouts were so dry and plain. The Seabass was chewy in my steak, which I ordered medium rare was more rare than medium rare not sure what happened, but it was a terrible experience and let’s say we will never go back to the costa Mesa location. also it was Valentine’s Day and they had absolutely nothing to celebrate not even a little touch . So disappointing

    Come here every year for anniversary’s and birthdays. Never had anything under a 5 star experience… until sadly this visit. And it really came down to our server. We felt like a burden to him. We had 2 groups sit after us get their drinks and food first. He barely said a word to us other than “what will it be”. Normally this wouldn’t bother me as I don’t frequent the lavish restaurants often, but when someone treats my fiance feels like she’s not on the same level of importance as others… I care. Good was still amazing, hostesses were as friendly as they were beautiful. Music was outstanding… just didn’t appreciate being made feeling less important.
