   Seated 15mins after reservation, which was good as it was a crowded Christmas night. Live music. Very loud and energetic atmosphere. Good food, good service. Would definitely recommend.

   Christmas Eve… it was excellent. Ordered the lobster tail and 8oz filet and shared it with the broccolini and King crab rice - delicious. It was a wonderful evening.

   Great food. Wait staff appeared overwhelmed. One or two additional people would have helped.

   Fair to good experience overall. The experience however, was not what I’ve come to expect or experienced in past visits to locations in Southern CA or Palm Desert. Food: Ok, not great, except for French Onion Soup which was amazing. Setting: felt stuffy with no air conditioning/fresh air circulating. Average decor, didn’t feel as high end as other Mastro’s. Dress Code: strictly NOT enforced. Not sure why a restaurant would make a dress code disclaimer on the website and in a plaque at the entrance of their restaurant for it to be ignored completely. This was not a Mastros 5 Star Experience, would Give it a 3.5.

   Good was good, but over priced. Drinks were great and the experience felt luxurious, but still appropriate for kids.

   We ordered Oysters Rockefeller, Wagyu beef roll, Lobster Bisque, Lobster Mashed Potatoes and the Porterhouse. Only the bisque was good. Everything else lacked taste.

   Made reservation to celebrate birthday, and made that clear in reservation notes. Confirmed reservation day of via telephone. Staff person asked if we are celebrating anything and i confirmed that we are celebrating birthday. Staff person said ,oh I see that in the notes and promised they would make sure to provide special desert with birthday candles. After dinner I ordered desert but staff totally dropped the ball and nothing was done to help us celebrate birthday. I went to the men's room and the hand towel dispensers were totally empty and no air dryers. Witnessed customers shaking their wet dripping hands as they walked by other dinners tables. Disgusting. Super expensive for in consistent spotty service. Did not meet expectations.

   Disappointed with service and internal operations of the restaurant. My expectations of Mastros would be to provide an outstanding dining experience in every way. There are so many restaurants to choose from in San Francisco with spectacular service, ambiance and food.... so I would recommend choosing another place for a high-end dinner outing. Two cocktails each at the bar for two guests without anyone following up should not be the norm for a nice dinner establishment. Table for six reserved ahead of time with a written notation that dinner would be a pre-theater event. Arrived at the restaurant and no one told the front host. Went to the second floor and met friends and sat down. No one came to our table to greet us or to take drink orders. I went to the 2nd floor host and informed that dinner was for pre-theater dining. Waitress arrived, she was not informed that we had a time schedule to keep. Things were fine and we finished dinner and were ready to go on to the theater. We were unable to pay and get out to go to our show. It took half an hour just to have them run our credit card. Very stressful and bad way to end dinner. I will not return. A restaurant deemed a certain caliber should do much better. Food is tasty though.

    It was my 18th Anniversary and Anthony (our server) was sure that I would have a good time, he did it not only well but it was the best thanks to him. Thank you Anthony for your professionalism and sympathy
