    This was the one and time the kitchen was super slow in getting one out of four meals to our table… such a surprise to me as the service is normally spot on here. However, our waitress, Liz, handled the problem well and with a lot of patience with our obvious irritation! She gets a gold star for sure!

    We planned a visit here some months ago but it took a while to organize. So very glad we persevered! Beautiful food and wine served by knowledgeable and friendly chefs and servers. If you are Ok with a fixed menu then you will love this elegant Korean/European/Asian food. (The wonderful but now defunct Michelin-starred Al's Place in San Francisco came to mind.) The atmosphere is relaxed and convivial. Prices not cheap but reasonable. We will certainly be back to try another month's offerings.

    We dined at Mastro's to celebrate a friend's birthday. Although I've been here numerous times, it was my friends' first dining experience at Mastro's and they were blown away by the superb service and exquisite taste of their steaks and drinks. We want to extend our gratitude to our server, Rushawn. He went above and beyond with his knowledge of the menu, expertise with pairings, and overall with his service which made our dining experience so much more special and meaningful. My friends and I agreed that if the food was mediocre, we still would have enjoyed our 5-star dining experience all because of Rushawn. Rushawn, thank you so much for your time and for going the distance to have my friends' first Mastro's visit a memorable and positive moment of their year.

    Great atmosphere and surroundings. Loved the upstairs bar and the open windows to the front alley. Service was surprisingly good for only the second day of operation. Cocktails were unique and tasty although some were very small despite being pricey. Food was terrific with unique and delicious combinations of tastes. Open kitchen created an energetic and bustling vibe.
