Best Steakhouses in Costa Mesa

This was our first time dining in this establishment. I've always heard great things about Mastro's and was excited to try their steaks. Made reservation ahead of time. Our server, Sean, was fairly new, but he was friendly and described the dishes extremely well. We ordered half dozen oysters to start, followed by a chopped salad to share. For our Entrees, I went with their Porterhouse, medium rate, and wife ordered a Pan Seared Sea Bass. She thought the fish was somewhat dry, so we talked to our server, and he was happy to assist us to swap the dish to something else. We decided to get their Seared Scallops; which was more expensive, but tasted phenomenal. My steak was very well seasoned and cooked to the right temp. We also ordered their Lobster Mashed Potatoes which was a good portion to share. It was full of flavor and tasted very buttery. Overall, experience was very good, we also ordered a couple of drinks to go along with our meal. To finish our dinner, we also ordered their Espresso Mouse Cake. It was very sweet, but was a good compliment with coffee.

First time at this location and it didn’t disappoint. Went out for a holiday date night and it turned out perfect. Both of us ordered the main filet mignon, one with scallops and the other with crab. Both were cooked to perfection. Had a fantastic bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from Frank Family Vineyards with it. And for dessert, the New York cheesecake with strawberries. Our waiter Jeffrey was very attentive but not overbearing and made sure we were taken care of. Thanks Jeffrey!

The host was really attentive and always helpful. We had an amazing night for my girlfriend's birthday. We ordered a rib eye and fillet mignon as the main courses, and they were really delicious and cooked perfectly. I don't recommend the popular cocktail, Stoli Doli, as there isn't much pineapple flavor in the drink, but maybe it is because we like more on the fruity flavor side when drinking a cocktail. High-quality food and top service as we expected when coming to the restaurant. We will come back.

This is our go to place when we visit from San Diego! Perfect old school ambiance, the food is great and the staff is always wonderful!

Morton’s is always the best food & service. Only complaint is Sprite and no 7up mixer.
