Mastro's gives a chichi vibe throughout the entire restaurant. Ambience was awesome; plush chairs and white linen adorned the dining room while a swank bar and live band decked the upstairs lounge. Martinis and shrimp cocktail appetizer embellished with dry ice provide for impressive entertainment, as the presentation is enough to wow even the most skeptical of gimmic-laden restaurants. Twin lobsters were beautifully butterflied and the 28oz. prime rib is enough for 2. Creamed corn was a tad heavy, as there was more cream than there was corn. Try an earlier dinner (~6pm.), as it tends to get really crowded on Fri. and Sat. nights. Dinner for 2 w/drinks can reach $200 quite easily. Overall, one of the better steakhouses in LA.
Pros: Martini, Shrimp Cocktail, Plush Ambience
Cons: Very Pricey!, Dim Dining Room
