Reunions are sweeter when your food and drinks are best rated and staff are the sweetest. Mr Rich made it exceptional by giving us courtesy celebratory dessert! We had crab cakes, tuna, and roasted bone marrow. My very good friend had steak and martini. The ambience with the wall fountain was as addition to the elegant yet subtle atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Christmas party with our group! Had the greens salad, super big Jumbo Shrimp, fried asparagus with sauce. Moved onto the main course with the bone in ribeye which was cooked perfectly. They even made a peppercorn sauce for us. Sides of mashed potatoes & Mac-n-cheese. Finished with the chocolate cake. Everything!!! Was excellent. Most importantly, the staff was top notch! Nailed it! Absolutely must visit. The area is the nicest part of up-town / post oak Houston.
I just proposed to my girlfriend here this weekend. I called the restaurant and they were SUPER helpful with making the evening as smooth as butter. They got us the best table right on the patio covered in rose petals, the server Elbie was friendly, attentive, and was a key player in helping me pop the question. The food was IMMACULATE!!! The bacon steak they have as an appetizer literally dissolves in your mouth as you eat it. And the butter cake they used to help me propose was the sweetest ending to a beautiful weekend. If I could give this place 20 stars, it still wouldn’t be enough!
Oh by the way, she said YES!!

I generally prefer local restaurants than chains. But I was blown away by how good the food was at this steakhouse chain. We went on a Saturday with no reservations and sat that the bar. Despite being busy we were immediately greeted by the bartender. Here is the food we had and our review of it:
Scallops - 6/5 perhaps one of the best scallops we have had. How they get the scallops so brown on the surface and yet juicy on the inside, I don't know.
King crab sushi - 4/5 pretty good, but not exceptional. Would have liked to taste more of the crab.
Filet Mignon 6 oz and 9 oz - 6/5 Absolutely perfectly cooked steaks, with a nice rub/dry sauce on top which was to die for. One of the best steaks we have tasted recently. By this time we were so engrossed in the food that we forgot to take pictures of the entree and the sides😀
Half side of Garlic Mashed Potatoes- 5/5 Very tasty. Creamy, indicating lots of butter 😀
Half side of crab fried rice - 3/5 Was good, but perhaps not worth the price. This is the only one we would perhaps not get when we come back again.
The bartenders despite being busy gave us prompt attention. The ambience makes for a moody evening and good people watching. Valet parking was convenient. We are converts and will definitely be back at Mastro's

This already feels like the weirdest review I've written so far. Mastros is one of our favorite places to eat for steak. We've also frequented the location in New York as well. However, this last visit was strange for us.
For starters, we went for a birthday in which I had a custom cake ordered for the occasion. When I made the reservation, I selected the birthday occasion. The restaurant also called to confirm the day of the reservation. At no time was it mentioned that outside cakes were not allowed. We showed up with our cake, and they told us it could not be eaten in the restaurant. They were nice enough to store the cake during our meal, but still! I feel that this should have been told to us at the time of reservation or at least when they called to confirm we were still coming that night. I understand they don't want to serve your cake, but no one asked them to. We are perfectly fine with cutting and serving our own cake.
Our waiter was more attentive to his other tables than us. We had to wait a long time to get things. We'd ask for simple things like a cocktail menu and still had to wait about 15 minutes to get it. Meanwhile, we can see him clearly tending to other things and at times just standing. Basically, he just wanted to take our order and be on his way. It's like he just kept forgetting about us.
However, every bite of food was lovely. It was almost too good, but I still thought about the cake we wouldn't be able to cut. The cake we brought with us for no reason. They did provide the complimentary cake, which was absolutely wonderful, but only enough for us each to have a good spoon full.
Giving it 4 stars because of the waiter and the fact that we couldn't eat our cake. The good food saved this experience, though we probably won't be back for a while.
Came to Mastro's to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. Didn't know what to expect since it was our first time. From the beginning, Jonathan made our experience great with his exceptional service. He helped us out with drink selections and food options. My wife had the pork chops with mac n cheese, and I had the red snapper, blackened, with asparagus. Portions were a good size, and the food was delicious. My wife also had a lemon drop, and I had an old fashion. Overall, it was a great experience. I would recommend it as a place to try for any occasion.
Food was ok, Brussels sprouts were uncooked, the filet steak was 8 out of 10, ribeye steak was better, wagyu roll was ok... tuna tower was amazing, French onion soup was excellent, the drinks are amazing! Good atmosphere, worth the money spent...
Wonderful experience for Restaurants week. Great food! I had the French onion soup, salmon and mango sherbert. I'm extremely picky about how my fish is made, but I had ZERO issues with mine! I added the truffle butter and wild mushrooms and black truffle Gnocci (these items are up charges on the Restaurants week menu). The waiter was amazing (wish I remembered his name, hope he sees this and drops it for me lol) he knows his wines and got me a great red! 🤌🏽 My husband got the Tuna, T-bone steak I think (upcharge, but it is huge) with lobster mac and cheese and butter cake. For his drink, he had the sazerac. Great date night place. Also, there is a valet but I think you can park a little way and walk to the restaurant. The only very small draw back was sitting outside by the waterfall. It was beautiful but my friends were sweating lmao, the fans helped buy its way too hot in Texas at the moment. I will go back when it's cooler.
We went there recently for an anniversary dinner. We looked at the reviews and definitely lived to their reputation. I even received a call a day later just to follow up on my experience. The service was excellent and Erica, our waitress, was very attentive. Great selection of steaks and drinks and food. Loved their whiskey selection. The place is beautiful and the food is amazing. Expect to spend some money but you get what you pay for and worth it. I would highly recommend it and will definitely be back. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time.
We tried a couple restaurants before stumbling upon this gem. We had no reservation and didn't have to wait to be seated on a Wednesday night with a full house. Every table had guests and we enjoyed great service, attentive staff and delicious food. What a great way to spend our 20th Anniversary!
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Omg. Atmosphere is so fun. Super super nice and elegant. Waiters were super professional and friendly. The food is well worth every penny. Great for date nights, adult birthday celebrations, work events, etc. I forgot to take pics of my food but their signature cake has my heart.
I had a negative first impression when they first opened but this time around, it was great!
My filet was cooked perfectly this time. Seafood was really fresh. Dessert a good size.
Posh side of town. Softest steak ive ever had. Lots of wine choices. The mashed potatoes were very good.
Cons: crowded and noisy. Not recommended for a peaceful relaxing dinner. The butter cake (?) was a little too rich for my taste.
We went for a birthday celebration 🥳 this past Saturday. We had reservation for 8 people. We were well taken care of by James. The food was amazing, everyone loved their dish. I had the blackened snapper (that white sauce is amazing!) and we share some sides. Those that ordered the steak enjoyed it. The birthday dessert is very very good.
Delightful Dessert Experience in the Desert!

Review:
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mastros restaurant “the desert” I must say, their butter cake exceeded all expectations! It was a truly delightful dessert experience that left me craving for more.
The butter cake at Mastros is a heavenly creation. From the first bite to the last, it was a melt-in-your-mouth sensation. The cake itself was incredibly moist, with a delicate vanilla ice cream that was just perfect. The flavor was rich, buttery, and indulgent, without being overly sweet. It struck the ideal balance.
Great ambiance, Great food, Great service! Highly recommended steakhouse for Houston area. Halal options available without prior notice.
Okay I got lucky and got to enjoy this delicious meal/ experience for my company Christmas Party. The place is gorgeous with seating inside and out and the service is top notch. I had the steak and family style sides with appetizers and dessert and everything was delicious. One day I will come with the hubby for a date but so glad I got to try it out.
