The Penthouse At Mastro's

We are foodies. We eat out regularly and appreciate good quality food. This was by far the best dinner we ever had! Bread basket had a variety of craft breads. Sea scallops and lobster mac n cheese were perfectly prepared and generous portions. We could cut the porterhouse steak with a fork, and it was perfect with the side of sautéed wild mushrooms. The Salted Caramel and Sangria cocktails were delicious and our waiter Preston was the most knowledgeable and attentive waiter ever. I gave it 5 stars for everything except value . I believe the steak and seafood were worth the cost, but I would not pay $21 for a house salad or $14 for potatoes or vegetables. That seemed unreasonable. Otherwise, we were very happy with every aspect of our meal and service.

Atmosphere, music, steak, and lamb chops were excellent!

We came for dinner on Sunday evening. We started with house cocktails, Spa Day the Bee Sting- both amazing- and then a veggie roll for an appetizer. My friend ordered a filet w/ bone marrow butter, and I opted for the filet topped with Dungeness crab. We were both super happy with our entrees. I can't say the crab was really worth the extra $55, but my server sold it so well I wasn't even mad about it. The sides are big enough to split, we shared the Brussels sprouts and the mashed potatoes. There was a live pianist doing some really great covers, and we opted out of dessert and went to the bar for some espresso martinis after. Overall a great evening in Beverly Hills :

I don't feel like we had the fine dining experience we have had in the past. Our server although very nice was too distracted to help explain things on the menu. When I would ask a question another server would get her attention and she would have to walk away and just made me feel rushed to decide and uncomfortable asking any more questions on the menu because she clearly looked like she had no time to explain. One of my friends had a nail sticking out on her chair where the decorative tack should be and it stabbed her while getting up. The steak we had was only pink in the middle and very overcooked everywhere else. Was a bummer to celebrate our night out and to spend so much for a not so great experience.

I love it! The food is great. The atmosphere, service, drinks, desserts, all great. I enjoy feeling the energy in Mastro's. Everyone sounds like they are having a great time. I enjoy the live music and the great vibe. I totally and highly recommend.
