Steakhouses in Chicago are a dime a dozen which makes it hard to choose one over the other. Mastro’s has never disappointed. They check all the boxes and do so to be among the top 5 in my book. Thanks to the crew there for helping my family get out the door quickly for a play last night!

We had a fantastic visit! This was the first jazz club we had ever visited, and it was a great time. We saw Sabertooth live and would definitely come by again next time we're in the area.

What a nice experience! The restaurant is intimate and cozy but tables were not tight. The food was exceptional and the service was quick. I think the experience would have been even better if it wasn't Christmas and they were waiting to turn our table. Also, there was an 18% service charge on the bill and verified that was the tip; I was not expecting it on a table for two. Regardless, we can't wait to come back and try the Sunday Brunch!
