This was unfortunately one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had — especially disappointing since it was our anniversary.
When I made the reservation, I specifically mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary, and I even called ahead to make them aware. Despite that, nothing was acknowledged during our visit. No mention, no small gesture — nothing — which made what should have been a special evening feel overlooked.
For a bill exceeding $300, I expected a much higher level of quality and service. The food was very subpar for the price point. The entrée did not include any sides, which felt unreasonable given the overall cost.
Additionally, despite having a reservation for opening time, we still waited over 15 minutes to be seated. One of the main reasons we chose this restaurant was the advertised dress code and upscale atmosphere. However, it was not enforced at all, and they seemed to let anyone in regardless of attire. That significantly diminished the experience we were expecting. Overall, the value simply did not match the price. I’ve had far better meals and service at much more affordable steakhouses.
I truly hope management reaches out to make this right — perhaps with an opportunity to experience what the restaurant is truly capable of — because this anniversary dinner was not the experience we had hoped and we still left hungry and sadly went to a local restaurant right after.

The food was good with the exception of my pork chop was dry and tough. There was no live entertainment as advertised.

5 star! Ten out of ten. I wish I had more to say, I definitely want to go back because the food was delicious. The oyster Rockefeller even if you don’t like oysters is a must try!

Mastro's has lost its luster. As a former fan of the chain, and visited almost every location, this was the fourth visit at the DC location. The sides were great - the protein was sub-standard. Cold and not delivered on the usual hot plate.

Mastros charges premium prices but delivers subpar service. At the bar, I ordered sparkling rosé—the bartender didn't mention the price or wine name, served an overflowing glass, and charged $44. The dining room was overcrowded. Our server threw menus at our table because she couldn't reach us, never explained anything, and shouted orders from across the room. She aggressively pushed us to order more appetizers, extra oysters and shrimp, and coffee we repeatedly declined. For $650 for three people, the food and service didn't justify the cost. The décor is nice, but that's where the positives end. Expected proper seating, drink service, and menu explanations—got none of it.

Consistently superb dinning experience. Our dinner was excellent, starting with the Burrata appetizer and continuing through our gustatory journey with Filets and delicious sides and ending with perfectly balanced Cherry Crumb dessert. Also, we want to recognize Mastro's Steakhouse staff which continue to be efficient, professional, and courteous.

The smoked bone marrow was not good overcooked , I have never had onions in macaroni and cheese , the rack of lamb and 8oz petite meat was cooked perfectly, the carb leg enhancement was not good enough for my wife we laughed at the portion size , Mastro's overall has good food but overpriced it is not worth the value , having additional staff helping with services does not make the experience upscale but I do recommend the butter cake it was delicious.
Service was horrible. We had to track down servers for drink replenishment or water. The waiter keep stepping on my feet. The tables were so congested there was no walkway for staff so they kept bumping the table. We were never asked after food arrived if all was ok. Soup was cold and bland. We ordered a bottle of champagne and glasses sat empty for several minutes to be refilled. For the price point, $500 for 3 dinner service, the service was beyond subpar. I will not go back.

Our server was excellent but my cod was under cooked. I did not enjoy my meal with my family an we had to take our dessert and protein home. It was not ideal and put a poor taste to our experience

I recently celebrated my birthday here. Unfortunately, I left birthday cards with money inside of them. I called to check if they were found and of course they “mysteriously” have not been found. I even asked for them to check the cameras and was told they didn’t see anyone take them. However, I find it highly unlikely those cards could’ve disappeared into thin air. The whole process felt unfriendly and I wasn’t offered anything for the inconvenience. I actually called multiple times and at one point felt like I was bothering them. Overall, I think it can be inferred that the cards were stolen. I have been going to this location for years to celebrate birthdays and I promise you I will never return. If you go, please be aware of your belongings.
