“Amazing food. Excellent service. A live band set the stage with great muaic.”
“Great food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Our waitress was very attentive and professional, and the live music added a nice touch to the evening. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Dining Experience! Mastro's in Chicago never disappoints, but this recent visit truly blew me away. The ambiance was upscale and lively, and the service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. While they are famous for their steaks, the real stars of our night were from the chicken and sides menu: The Lemon Pepper Chicken: Absolutely incredible. It was perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with a bright, savory flavor that had me wanting more. The Lobster Mashed Potatoes: Pure perfection. Rich, creamy, and loaded with generous, decadent chunks of fresh lobster. It’s worth the trip alone! If you are looking for an exceptional meal in the city with incredible food and a fantastic vibe, Mastro's is the place to go. I can't wait to come back!”
“Danny took great care of my friend and I! We made a reservation for 2 during the happy hour on a Sunday afternoon and got the Wagyu Sliders, 3 piece Oysters, and Fried Calamari. I’m personally a big fan of calamari and it was amazing when paired with the red chili sauce. The wagyu sliders were my next favorite, my only complaint was them being mostly bread, not a lot of meat. I’m personally not interested in oysters, but my friend was a fan 🙂↕️ Drinks were amazing too. They had a lovely sweet berry drink that I couldn’t find the name of, and the El Traditional was nice and refreshing.”
“did not disappoint! The steak was amazing and the service was spectacular our server was Genevieve! Her recommendations were superb for both drinks and steak! Thank you to the team for the hospitality!”

“This place is delicious the steak the chicken and let’s not forget the warm butter cake phenomenal! our server OMAR He is AMAZING!!!!!!! we will return just for OMAR and that delicious butter cake! Thank you Omar for an unforgettable 1st anniversary dios los bendiga”
“This has definitely gone into the book of “best experiences ever!” Our server Tabby was absolutely AMAZING! Seriously one of the best!!! She was so informative, helpful, and welcoming and deserves everything good that’s coming to her. I’ll come back just for her services alone! You definitely get what you pay for and more! The food was exactly how I expected it to be! I honestly think that this is the first restaurant that has truly ever satisfied my palette the way it did. I found myself a bit tipsy after only one(tasty and strong) drink. My partner enjoyed his food and drink and had 0 complaints!(That means a lot coming from picky ol’ him!) When booking our reservations, I included in the comments section “celebrating Rashaan and Tashi’s birthday” and to our surprise, they had our names printed on the menu and complimentary desserts after dinner. That was a small gesture that meant so much to us. So thank you to EVERYONE that made this night beautiful and unforgettable for us, no one went unnoticed!❤️ Side note: valet parking was available for $15 but we parked on the side of the restaurant and paid $9.50 for two hours at the box. Ok, now let me go and hit the lottery so that I can experience this forever because I don’t want to go back😩 Enjoy!!!!”
“I ate here at the and had no complaints. I ate an NY Strip Steak, Baked Potato, and Mac & Cheese, and a piece of Chocolate Layer Cake with shared with my friend and a couple of people at the table next to me. There was no way I was eating this cake by myself. I liked the bread selection with Soft Pretzel Sticks.”
“Great experience! Steak was superb! Could not have chosen a better place for my 70th Birthday Celebration!!!”
“Wanted to take a minute to say that after what has been an unfriendly winter that my visit to Mastro’s last month was a refreshing breath of vitality to life. Went last month a week and half before new years to celebrate my birthday with my mother. From the time we pulled up to when we left was nothing short of exceptional. My mother has to walk with a cane but the valet was beyond courteous and even was able to park the car by the front door. Then when we walked in the hostesses were able to take us to our table and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. Then our server Nicole came by to introduce herself and she was great. Let us know the specials and offered us water and bread service, we took advantage of the first. Then once we had settled ordered some amazing drinks from the bar and was pleasantly surprised by the subtleties that they had gotten into our drinks, the Ron Burgundy cocktail being a beautiful harmony of Rum and banana but balanced and not too sweet. Once we ordered dinner we got the Tomahawk to share along with the asparagus and lobster mashed potatoes. All of them were amazing and if we hadn’t started with the French onion soup and lobster bisque we would have dove in for desert. The manager Kim checked up on us during our meal and we relayed how great a time we were having. We were impressed with how she had every level of her staff really seeming to be as attentive and friendly as she was which from experience of being in this industry I can tell you is a sign of great management by how their staff is to the guests. Thank you again to Kim and Nicole for helping us celebrate and look forward to visiting again soon to experience the things we missed out on.”
