I really enjoyed Sunday lunch here. It's only indoor seating but it wasn't super crowded. The food was really good. I ordered the sea scallop entree & she got the Chilean sea bass. And you have to get the butter cake for dessert, trust me! It's expensive dining for sure but worth the splurge. Our server was excellent (forgot her name). The view is amazing.
The location is as breathtaking as it can get, being an ocean view restaurant. The food was good, not crazy but alright. The service is good. The drink was not that great. Make sure to have reservation in advance.
Don't forget to try their pretzel bread, it ships daily fresh from Germany.
I am still reeling from last night; the worst restaurant experience (Pump Restaurant Lounge) ever! Now I feel a personal obligation to pay homage to the great and wonderful businesses I have had the personal opportunity to experience. Yet warn of the negative experiences in hopes of saving someone else the painful humiliation I felt yesterday evening (Pump Restaurant Lounge).
Now that I have vented for the millionth time please allow me to pay homage to this great restaurant and staff. Mastro’s Ocean Club of Malibu is a truly exceptional dinning experience. I’ve had the luxury of entertaining out of state family and friends at this lovely establishment since I relocated to Santa Monica. The food drinks and service are worth every dollar.
I recall my experience on 8/24/21 party of 4. The valet service was excellent and the wait time was minimal. My family and I were properly greeted and seated at an amazing table. The customer service was 5 star and the food was amazing. My family’s dinning experience was truly legendary.
Finally I want to tell you about the exceptional over and beyond customer service I received on Valentine’s Day 02/14/22. As usual I was hosting friends from out of town and I needed to celebrate the wedding proposal of one of my dearest friends. I looked on the website and saw there were no available reservations for same day service. However, I called and the representative was able to secure a late 10pm reservation for me at the 9th hour. Simply phenomenal over the top customer service. The table setting overlooked the ocean and we were seated amongst movie stars. This restaurant has served as the venue of some of my fondest California memories thus far.
If you love steaks and seafood then this is the place for you! Very impressive selection of different steak cuts as well as a variety of fresh seafood options. I’m only giving 4 stars however because I was not impressed with the service. We got to the front and gave the name of the reservation. We were then told to stay by while ‘they prepare the table’. We then proceeded to stand there for 10 minutes waiting only to find out the rest of our party was already seated. The service also at the table was a bit chaotic. It was hard to get the attention of any servers for ordering. I would expect at a place of this caliber you would have enough staff hired to handle the amount of tables that have to be served. Other than that, I was very impressed with the food and beautiful ocean views are second to none.
The best dinner I had in a long time !
With a view 😍
Excellent service !
The caviar was superb,
The variety of complimentary bread was delicious,
The wagyu beef was super tender also like butter,
And the cocktails were absolutely tasty!
Tips to the restaurant:
Clean the crumbs in between the seats please. :)
Outstanding! Been to Mastro's in Beverly Hills, same place except this one has a beautiful view overlooking the ocean!
Everything we had was fantastic. I tried the 40oz wagyu tomahawk, unreal. My girlfriend is vegetarian and got a bunch of veggie sides and her father got the 32oz tomahawk.
We finished off with the signature butter cake, you MUST try it.
All in all amazing as usual, will definitely be back.
Ask for Paris for your server, she's fantastic and has a great personality.
The food is very good.
The ambiance and the view is amazing.
You do have to have some patience when you arrive.
There's almost always a wait and the reception is not the best. Uber Eats and other services pick up orders from the same place you check-in. So it's very busy at the entrance.
It's cold at night by the beach and there's only two chairs in the lobby. So you either sit inside at the bar or you might need to bring a jacket to wait outside. Maybe when it gets colder they move the heat lamps.
The restaurant is very loud, can't speak for the noise volume on the patio. You can still hear each other, but it's loud.
The valet was fantastic, really quick to get the car and a great personality.
All in all I will be back and I always do enjoy my meal at Mastro's Ocean Club.
The feel of this place is great and the views can’t be beat. We came on a Sunday at noon. They have a few brunch items but we didn’t know until after we ordered “dinner” stuff. It was still good. The standout this time was the bacon appetizer. We also had the mastros salad (we shared it.. note, too big for one person. Better for 2-3. Lobster tails.. cheesecake for dessert because it was for my bday. Light and fluffy cheesecake.
