Editorial Review for Mastro's Steakhouse – by Jane Tunks
The Scene
Retro yet dignified, Mastro's does all it can to conjure up the ghost of Frank Sinatra amid a decidedly masculine ambience. Choose the quietly swank downstairs dining room with its vaguely Italian vibe, or the upstairs piano bar, where a chanteuse belts out the standards.
The Food
Knock back a highball while pondering the encyclopedic steakhouse menu. Portions are King Kong-sized and priced accordingly, with a la carte entrees often surpassing the $30 mark. Those who like gimmick-laden appetizers should try the shrimp cocktail set in a bed of vaporizing dry ice. But don't let it distract from the demon red meat. Bone-in rib eye--a fist-thick slab--arrives at the table sizzling in butter. Just as substantial, the baked pork porterhouse seals in all the flavor of its rosy-pink center. Other cuts include a bone-in filet; 40-ounce, double-cut porterhouse; and Kansas City strip.

I have been going to Mastro's for years. The food was always good and the staff was friendly. Given that the prices have always been a bit high. Recently, Mastro's was purchased by the RARE Group. Masto's has taken a big step down. The new management at the restaurant is very corporate...very uptight. The quality of the steaks has dropped badly. Even worse, the clientele on the weekends look like a tour bus pulled up front and spilled. There are far better steak options in LA....BLT, STK or Wolfgang's.
Pros: Active atmosphere
Cons: Cheesy crowd, corporate, declining food quality, cramped

Well you certainly can not say the food is not well made in this place . They serve some great steaks here . Its old school Beverly Hills , its the place Robert Evans probably calls home away from home ( not confirmed...) . Plenty of wealthy men with their young(er) partners - its cocktail lounge with piano player , its Polo Lounge just bigger and with great steaks . Its nice - its good food - its HEAVY food - big steaks , big lobsters , mashed potatoes - its all very AMERICAN . Do not plan on going out after this meal - you would want to go to sleep . Its a great experience - maybe not my kind of place but you have to appreciate it .
