Best Seafood Restaurants in Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino

I love Mastro's Ocean Club, both in Las Vegas and Phoenix. They just know how to do steak right. Tonight I went with my standby, bone in ribeye and my dining companion had the petit fillet. Both were outstanding and perfectly cooked. She also had the mashed potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts. Both also very good. She finished up with the Butter Cake and said it was also very good. If I could fault one thing about nearly every Mastro's location, it's the noise level. You definitely don't go there for a quiet intimate dinner. This location is in the middle of the Crystal Shops at Aria, so basically in a mall. While it's not an overly busy mall, it is a mall. But the food is amazing, you'll definitely enjoy yourself, especially if you love steak!

We were promptly seated. It was Valentine's Day night & the restaurant was very busy. We got a very nice table in the center circular room on the outside edge, next to glass with all the wine bottles on the racks. We appreciated being away from all the hustle & bustle. Very nice. ( Note: the last time here, we got a table at the kitchen entrance & it was a very unpleasant dining experience in such a fine establishment. Very busy, noisy & distracting; making it extremely difficult to relax, enjoy your food or any conversation.) Our waiter (Brad) introduced himself, gave us menus, took our drink orders. Soon after, our drinks arrived & I must say they were great! Wife had a special cocktail & I ordered a McCallan 12 (very generous pour!) We shared the Baby Iceberg Lettuce Salad (very good but a bit too much dressing). My wife ordered the Scallops entree & she loved it! I had the Chilled Shellfish Platter to go along with sips of my Scotch (it resulted in a fabulous pairing). The raw Oysters & Clams were exquisite. The large pieces of Jumbo Shrimp were crunchy & delicious. There was a generous amount of mouth-watering King Crab piece (much to my surprise!). The split Lobster tail was probably a Langostino, but still very tasty. My wife & I are elderly, so we don't eat as much as our younger days, & by now we were nicely full. Brad came over & offered us dessert. After he described their special Valentines dessert, our sweet tooth got the better of us . It arrived shortly, this spectacular plate of a small Browny Fudge Lava Cake, next to a large White Chocolate Sphere with Vanilla Ice Cream inside. He poured warm Chocolate syrup over it & the sphere began to dissolve into pie-shaped sections & spread apart, revealing the ice cream inside. Kudos to the creative genius dessert maker! i must say, the service was impeccable by Brad & the other wait /table staff. They were always checking up on us, always refilling our water & removing empty dishes. A fabulous dinner!

Great food. Great service. Definitely would recommend.

Overall a great experience. Food was outstanding, as expected given it’s Jose Andres. Service was professional, helpful, accommodating and friendly. Highlights: • Chu-toro (my favorite for sashimi) with quail egg. Phenomenal! • Po’ boy with oysters & ossetra • Fried dorado. In pieces including crispy skin, with a Tartar sauce to die for. The olives two ways was excellent and interesting, but for us more of a one-time experience. There are too many other items we want to try on our next visit!

Good value for Vegas these days, excellent service and the food quality very good.
