    We had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner at this steakhouse and overall, it was a great experience. The oysters were fresh and delicious, especially the Kumiai variety – a perfect start to the meal. The calamari was tasty but a bit on the undercooked side, the Caesar salad was fresh and crisp, a nice addition to our appetizers. For sides, the au gratin potatoes were rich and flavorful, but the spinach was a bit too salty for our taste. However, the highlight of the evening was definitely the porcini-rubbed bone-in ribeye with 15-year-aged balsamic. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor – highly recommend this dish! Overall, the food was great, with just a couple of minor hiccups. It’s definitely a place I’d return to, especially for that amazing ribeye!

    Mastros is always a special place to celebrate our wedding anniversary ❤️ Dave and BJ were amazing, and our food, as always, was delicious. My husband ordered a double cut porkchop, and he said it was the best and most tender he's ever had. It was large enough for two. You can't beat the service you get there. Thank you for our special buttercake dessert and the 2 chocolate dipped strawberries 🍓 . We will be back.

    Ocean 48 has a lot of hype, so I went in with high expectations--and they were far exceeded, thanks to the incredible service. Our waiter, Adam, truly made the experience exceptional (if you're making a reservation and appreciate top-tier service, be sure to request him). We were celebrating my father's birthday, and as someone who has dined at plenty of steakhouses, he was absolutely blown away. Adam's recommendations were spot-on, and every dish was phenomenal. The filet and 45-day aged Ribeye were perfectly cooked, and the wine pairing elevated the meal even further. It was an unforgettable evening, and my father hasn't stopped raving about how incredible everything was--especially Adam's service, which took the experience to the next level. Ocean 48 delivered in every way, and we'll definitely be back!
