Bar area is super chill and great live music ... drinks are avg $20 each and huge selection of wines and whiskeys and more!!! Actual apps and entree are huge and quite delicious and tasty, but pricy !!

Kevin Wilson

Incredible portions, think about any item on the menu as “for two” Especially dessert . Portions are ridiculously huge. That said, food and steaks are cooked to perfection, Prime beef as it should be.

If the steep prices have some of the guys scared of going, you can choose to bring your own wine & only pay a $25 corkage fee . We hear the Trader Joe’s Two-Buck Chuck Cab goes great with a $60 porter . Read more

New York strip is where it's at!!! The roasted Brussel Sprouts are a must side (even if you don't like Brussel Sprouts:-)). The buttercake dessert is a perfect end to a great meal!

Isabel

My most favorite steakhouse ever (along with Masto's Ocean Club and City Hall Steakhouse , Scottsdale, AZ). Ahi Tuna Tartare , ANY steak , and did I mention the LOBSTER mashed potatoes ?! Heavenly. Read more

Nicole

Be prepared to eat one of the best meals of your life.... And one of the most expensive . Well worth it, though. Really make every patron feel like a VIP. Even call you the next day to say thanks!

Rebecca Thomson

Get the lobster mashed potatoes but with the lobster/Saice served separately. Brussels sprouts . Gorgonzola Mac + truffle oil . Magic!!

Time Out Chicago

The martini is shaken with dry ice so it bubbles like a cauldron, steaks come out perfectly medium-rare & a signature side of lobster mashed potatoes is comically indulgent. http://tmoutchi.us/10esgeQ Read more

Spencer Sorrell

You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Save room for dessert...actually save room for all of the desserts ; they're delicious.

Rui Li

Wagyu tomahawk medium rare! Can't get better than that! The 8oz Kobe sirloin was wayyy to rich for one person to finish, share with someone if you really want to try it!!

Lucille Fisher

Excellent rib eye steaks . Very good appetizers , from the grilled veggies , to the beef carpaccio . Classic steakhouse .

Jolie Mcfallar

Great steak(pepper steak ) & mash ! Since the sides are big they have half sizes! And the live entertainment adds for a great environment to listen to but still at a good volume to conversate w/ guests.

@cfnoble

The food is excellent. But (and I rarely use this word) the service is impeccable. So well trained , so conscious of the guest. A rare treat.

MJ D.

BUTTER CAKE . Real whipped cream , nice crisp outside, warm and rich on the inside. Dessert doesn't get better than this.

Leyla Arsan

Delicious steaks & very nice staff , but they are careless. They messed up my order 2x and I was a party of one who who visited at 6:30pm. Should have been an easy win.

Time Out Chicago

Try the chef’s cut New York strip from our 100 Best list: The high-end chain had us woozy with its dry-ice martinis , warm butter cake , and expertly cooked and seasoned cuts of beef .

Nikkia J Smith

It was AWESOME! Definitely will be back! One the best steaks I've ever had & the butter cake was amazing! Great birthday treat!

Joseph B.

Grab a spot at the bar and get serenaded by the superb singers while you sip your drink in elegant style.

hooeyspewer .

I must recommend grabbing a seat or a high-top table in the bar area and ordering drinks and the Gorgonzola Mac and Cheese . Seriously decadent Mac and Cheese and interesting atmosphere.

Christopher Floss

@mcfloss818 and I love #Mastros in #Chicago! Justin is the best at the bar . The French Onion Soup is a great option.

David A. Chapa

awesome. Get the 48oz T-bone and have them slice it for you to share with 3-4 others. great place

Chris Nakutis

Everyone comes for the steak , but their sushi is the best in Chicago. Lobster Rolls with real lobster tail . Fantastic.

Crain's Chicago Business

For a classic steakhouse start, try the relatively modest Dungeness crab cocktail , fresh and sweet, with its own small dry ice presentation. Or begin with the Mambo salad , a solid update on Caesar. Read more

PureWow

Surf and turf it up with a starter of sushi followed by a helping of bone-in Kansas City strip. Read more

Christopher Floss

Calling all Chicago Mastro's fans!!! If you haven't had the Brussel Sprouts and Scalloped Potatoes , they are a MUST SIDE OPTION!!!

Austin

When I return, I will sit at the bar and eat the gnocchi - order a bottle of Italian wine and sit in bliss. Everything is good, the gnocchi was shockingly good for a steakhouse .

Lee West

Get a dry ice cocktail to start, then a bottle of red, a bone-in ribeye and the gnocchi for dinner . Oh the gnocchi ! Little pillows from heaven. Just don't touch the plates.

Jennifer Cajas

The steak and the green beans sauteed with almonds was amazing. #February25 #birthday #feelingfancy #foodporn

Alison

Bone-in filet, black truffle log crab gnocchi , lobster mashed potatoes ... Oh and rose Chandon as the house sparkling wine . Not bad at all!

Adam London

Ask for Stephanie as your waitress . Get the KC strip, Mac and cheese , lobster mashed , and brussel sprouts - have an unbelievable meal.

Ember O

Their seafood platter is amazing and a great start to your dinner ! Make sure to get the Mac and cheese as a side!

Yamili Saucedo

Must have their "warm butter cake " for dessert . Portions are huge so there's enough to share .

Myra Rubin

Share! Portions are huge. I would skip the $40 lobster mash potatoes ...good but dense. Order them if u are w/ at least 6 people. Tuna tartare is delish! FYI if you love maritini's they are $20 each :)

Myra Rubin

Update: If you want to indulge order the signature seafood tower ! and a bottle of Krug. Perfect meal :)

Chicago magazine

Dining editor @pennypollack says "The bone-in rib eye , Kansas City strip, and rack of lamb were everything wet-aged USDA prime meats should be—mineral-tart, tender, and juicy."

Christopher Floss

Mastro's in Chicago is a great option for a pre-weekend celebration! Live music is a nice perk!

Christopher Floss

Live entertainment and great service make Mastro's a lively place to spend an evening.

Nikos B

Don't leave without ordering the warm butter cake ! It feeds 3!

Dave Beckerich

Very highbrow, wear something nice and get your reservations early. Excellent food, will go again.

Michelle Ackmann

The jumbo shrimp cocktail is a must. Delicious!

Jerry Mathis

Incredible! Pecan Pie was exceptional!

Eric Mitchell

The best! Bring your cell phone for light when reading the menu.

greg Maryniarczyk

Delicious food! Lobster mash potatoes blew me away ! Steak was well worth the high price .

Meta Smith

The cute bartender knew a lot of interesting trivia about liquor . Didn't get his name but I'd go back to see him. Lol.

Dana Tedesco

Perfect Date Night : Live Music ???? ???? Martinis ???? and Butter Cake in the Bar ????

Myra Rubin

Bone-in Ribeye RarePlus! Alaskan King Crab Black Truffle Gnocchi !!!! + Oysters Rockefeller . RedWine. Satisfied.

M & M

The live performances in the bar are phenomenal!

Sandrine Andro

Good meat and atmosphere

Jared S

Kansas City is great, but Bone In Filet is outrageous! Black truffle Gnocchi and Brussels great sides.

They have many bottles of wine (mostly sparkling wine) and a handful of half-bottles. I definitely recommend the Black Tiger Shrimp & the Duck BLTs. I would recommend against the Tempura Cheese Curds. - Global Highlander
