We recently celebrated our anniversary at Mastro’s in Thousand Oaks, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was elegant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a special evening. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure every detail was just right. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the wine selection was impressive. For dinner, we indulged in the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection, and the buttery lobster mashed potatoes were a decadent treat. Of course, we couldn’t leave without ordering the famous butter cake—an absolute must-try! The entire evening felt luxurious and celebratory, and we truly appreciated the impeccable service and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, Mastro’s in Thousand Oaks is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back!

My 5th visit over the years for work lunches or dinners, and my husband’s first. They didn’t disappoint. Our waiter Steven was exceptional! His recommendations were spot on. Started with the most tender and flavorful lamb lollipops. We highly recommend!! Also indulge in their Caprese with heirloom Cherokee tomatoes with a delicious sweet balsamic reduction and creamy mozzarella. I was in heaven. This while enjoy my Raspberry-mulled Lemon Drop. The lobster bisque and Cesar Salad, were fresh and flavorful. Our mains were Steven’s recommend filet medallions with scalloped potatoes and the fresh bass and a baked potato with the works. Both were a culinary delight. Of course we had some leftovers. Steven packed up the rest and even added an Anniversary cheesecake slice with fresh berries to go. Thank you all for making our Anniversary dinner exactly what we hoped for. Look forward to more date nights at Holdren’s.

The decor for Valentine’s Day was top tier. Honestly, surprised at the lengths they had gone to make the place romantic. Our server Mac was super attentive even with a full house. The food was yummy. My girlfriend loved it so I guess that’s all that really matters.

We have been to Nonna many times; however, the special Valentine's Day dinner items were the best meals we have eaten there. The lobster bisque had large chunks of lobster; the beet salad with spinach, gorgonzola cheese, candied pecans and pomegranate seeds was superior to any I have had at other restaurant. The braised beef in a hearty sauce was quite good as well. The special desserts included a wonderful cake with fresh strawberries and cream filled donuts were especially delicious. The service was excellent, as usual. It would be good to see these special dishes on the regular menu in the future.

An early Valentines dinner for two on a Wednesday. We timed it right where it wasn't busy at all and we got a ton of attention from great servers and great waiters!! Good drinks and great food. From ambiance to experience, we had an unforgettable night. Whole experience with a few drinks took about 2.5 hours. But we were taking our time, enjoying our self and we did not feel rushed. Would recommend. Shoutout to our waitress, Devin and our Gaucho server Miguel!
