    Food is great!! The place is very expensive but it's worth it for a special occasion. Have in mind sides are VERY big, can be shared by 6 people easy!!

    My son and a good friend surprised me for my early birthday dinner! The food was excellent! Their chocolate cake was exemplary! And their signature Lemon Drop cocktail was delish!

    Mastro’s is a steakhouse in Costa Mesa that is famous for its steak. Hunks of beef, bloody rare inside, crusted with black sooty char outside, is why you go to Mastro's. Read more

    Bone in Fillet, with creamed potatoes & sautéed spinach, topped with butter cake & coffee for dessert-is decadence!

    Got a rib eye... was pretty darn good. Not as good as The Ranch, but flavored great and cooked perfectly. Sides were amazing too. I liked it a lot.

    If you are not a big eater, the Petite Filet is a good size meal when combined with one or more sides. Mine arrived perfectly cooked and seasoned. Highly recommended!
