I find myself comparing every single steak I have, no matter where it is in the entire world, to the BONE-IN FILET MEDIUM RARE PLUS EXTRA CHAR from Mastro's, hoping that it will beat Mastros (so that I can have another favorite steakhouse to choose from) but KNOWING that it cannot.

Mastro's is just perfection. Plain and simple. Each and every time, with a deadly consistency and a char on your steak that will make grown men cry. It's hard for high-end restaurants to deliver perfection each and every time, but Mastro's finds a way to do it.

It's been my favorite steakhouse in the world since I was first taken here for a birthday dinner well over a decade ago, and nothing compares or has come even close.

There are three dining levels: (1) Classic steakhouse, great for group dinners, (2) Lounge/club with live piano-man and singers, decked in red velvet, (3) the new penthouse, targeted to a younger crowd with a live DJ and no stuffy steakhouse booths. All are fantastic in their own way, and offer an entirely unique dining experience.

You must must come here and experience it for yourself. Beverly Hills is my favorite of the Mastro's locations, and worth a visit no matter where you are coming from.
