Review of Mastro's Beverly Hills

I'm a little confused about Mastro's Steakhouse vs. The Penthouse. I'm just going to assume that the penthouse is upstairs? Anyways, we came for a birthday dinner. It was every bit of a classic steakhouse with brick columns and a shiny lamp on each table.

The cheese and pretzel breads were served warm with butter. They tasted good. The pretzel buns look a lot like sea-salt crusted version of Trader Joe's pretzel buns.

$50 8 oz. Petite Filet:
Very good! Tasty, well-seasoned, and springy. Slightly pink in the center with a slight crust on the outside.

$63 22 oz. Bone-In Ribeye:
Very good! Mmm ribeye. This is massive and could probably be shared between two people. Also cooked to an excellent medium-rare.

$14 Roasted Brussels Sprouts:
No bueno! I love roasted Brussels sprouts, and I love most roasted vegetables, but it was pretty clear that these were roasted too long. Some of the pieces were just burnt. For $14, I'd prefer them to be not burnt.

$14 Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
Good! This tray of mashed potatoes could easily be shared with a family of four.

$16 Mastro's Signature Warm Butter Cake:
Excellent! Delicious butter cake with cut up strawberries and a scoop of ice cream on top. They decorated our plate with Happy Birthday written in chocolate, which was a nice touch. It doesn't sound terribly special, but it was a fancier version of a warm, very comforting pound cake.

Overall the food was delicious, except for the burnt Brussels sprouts. Service was very friendly. A solid choice if you're looking for looking to satiate a steak craving.
