Upscale, fine dining at Mastro’s Ocean Club Newport Beach, CA. You must try the sinful Butter Cake, and the lobster mashed potatoes are out of this world.
Check out my full review on the blog
mall across the parking lot of Trader Joe's and Pier Import? Perhaps only in Newport Beach, and this is. where you can find Mastro's Ocean Club. The sister restaurant, Mastros Steakhouse, is known for. their steaks, while Ocean Club emphasize seafood. Fortunately, they. serve the best of both steak and seafood at this restaurant.

We took my sister for dinner here on 11/30/14. Server was Damien (I believe) and was very nice and very professional.
We split a bowl of the clam chowder which was huge being split for us. Had a very smokey delicious flavor; however, clams were slightly on the chewy side.
My husband ordered the Mahi Mahi, I ordered appetizer size (3) of the Scallops, my sister ordered 6 oz Filet Mignon. The entree's for my sister and I came out delish!
My poor husband had a total of 3 times his fish being done. First his fish immediately being served you can see it was so dried out and overcooked without even eating/tasting it. Second time, he got a brand new Mahi and was practically 'raw'...the most disturbing is they put the same fish back on the grill and not getting a new fish or cooking the way that delicate fish is supposed to be cooked. Needless to say the 3rd time was not a charm and only ate a couple bites.
We ordered the mashed potatoes with Lobster. What a hefty hefty price tag. It was slightly soupy not sure from butter or what but didn't look appealing and worst of all the lobster was too overcooked and completely far from tender as it should be. So disappointing, AND especially for $35!!! We got the side of Mushrooms--these were delish!
Cocktails, wine, and espresso were good.
Dessert for the bday girl was a HUGE chocolate cake that was 4 or 5 or 6 layers. Not bad.
Overall, it wasn't as good as I thought. The weather wasn't great to enjoy the beautiful sea view that we had reservations to face the ocean. I read some writers stating about being too noisy ....Guess where you sit....our area was fine.
Awesome food, cool interior, polished servers. Everything feels like a high end club. EXCEPT THE MUSIC. Instead of classy lounge acts the place is made for each time the grand piano lid was shut with a laptop on top, playing backing tracks of modern songs that never quite made it into top 40. Like listening to a mediocre fm radio station. As if some freshly baked mba management consultant sold this as a strategy to attract a younger crowd. Why the chose to imitate a dive bar is beyond me. The food is good though.
I love this place and try to get here when i'm in town. Few restaurants have as unique a building as this one, with its open plaza interior. A cool evening, a little jazz, a great martini make a perfect night out. The seafood is extraordinary, particularly the shellfish and oysters. Steaks as well. Great salads and sides, which everything should be at these prices. I dont understand anyone going to a premium chain steakhouse when one can go to great independents like this.
Amazing food. Great piano bar. Lots of energy at the bar. One of my favorite dinner spots in OC
Great place for a Martini. Swanky, full of the beautiful people. Ok dinner,
but I enjoyed the cocktails!
Always good bar entertainment!. I lived in Newport Beach for 25 of my best single years... lots of dates to some of the best places!! LoL
Mastro's has one of the best steaks in town and the people watching is fun here! I like the lemon drops served with dry ice and never too sweet! Everything is served hot and tasts great!

Excellent. With Mastro's Steakhouse being a superior offering to competitive steakhouse chains, how does the Ocean Club stack up against competitive seafood offerings? Great news is that the Ocean Club clobbers the alternatives. As with most Mastro's locations the decor is contemporary and luxurious. This location features a unique dining room blending interior and exterior patios which compliment each other in pleasing ways. With the combination of old family money and new Newport Coast wanna bes the people watching can't be beat. Service is top notch with even our cocktail waitress on a recent visit offering surprisingly polished service. And then the food! Just like other Mastro's locations the Ocean Club offers gigantic portions of food and drink with everything prepared perfectly. On the most recent visit the Crab Gnocchi side dish was unreal - could have made a meal of it. The Halibut entree was as savory as a Rib Eye Steak and the Bone In Filet was melt-in-your mouth good and cooked to perfection. An excellent fish-house which the other upper-end seafood establishments in the O.C. simply can't compete with. Highly recommended.
Wowza. One spectacular steak and seafood house!
Very Good. Manhatten size servings- the Oysters are fabulous and the Horseradish will bite- what a fun memory.
This is a great place to come and know your food will be enjoyed and a well deserved treat. The $$'s are worth every penny spent here.
Great Overall Restaurant. This is a favorite of ours...go early and have a drink in their bar, listen to some music and make an evening out of this one. Service is always top notch and the menu has amazing choices. Get the seafood tower and share a steak...making your own version of surf and turf. The warm butter cake is a perfect ending to a great experience.
It’s always nice to be back here. All the servers are being proactive and professional that they know what they do and they often check with us what we want/need. I haven’t been here for a while but the quality of service and foods never changed. It’s a perfect place for business scenes and social gatherings. The ambiance is great. I wish they offered a live music like classic music at the restaurant. I would say it’s a bit dark inside for walking around or reading menu. lol…
Overall, I always enjoy their food, drinks and service here at Mastro’s.
The service at this restaurant was far beyond my expectations. The waitstaff is so attentive down to the smallest details, we were never left needing or wanting anything. Our server Emmy was amazing! Restaurant has a beautiful view (certain tables) that are great for Sunset dining. Food was delicious. Will absolutely be back.
Took me 18hrs to fly into LA and first dinner for the trip. Must say it’s live piano presentation and services are top notch. Food was delicious and ample. Portion is huge. Food Quality A+ Quantity A+ service A+

This place is elegant and has a great atmosphere with live music a pianist, views of the Pacific Ocean 🌊, and a nice bar with a great selection. We sat in the outdoor garden you feel the great California weather we enjoy the evening as the sun clocked out. Shout out to Travis for the great service and explaining to us the menu and also to The Great Staff who brought us water making sure we weren’t dry and cleaned our tables they where on top of it.
Now the Food 22oz Porto House Steak medium well tender meat with a nice taste of the char on the outside smokiness flavor $73.

Mastro’s Bread Basket 4 Types of breads with the company of butter my favorite was the pretzel bread sprinkle with sea salt give it a nice texture $5
It was a fantastic place to eat. The food was excellent and served by a very experienced staff. Drinks were expensive, but the whole evening was well worth it. Definitely going back when we're back in Irvine, California.
Had a wonderful time and the piano player was an excellent singer and has the best positive attitude. He's happy and very professional and entertaining!
For a steak house and I didn’t like the rub they used!? They should give more choice of rubs so that I don’t have to go with just salt and pepper.
This place is always epic. The food is all amazing. had the clam chowder with bacon. Shnaps ... It was great. The steaks are all great. The 12oz filet was juicy and flavorful... Nice for a lean filet and I had some ribeye and it's. Ribeye, can't go wrong..the sides were marvelous but leave room for butter cake. Always! The bread service is fantastic and the drinks and service are spot on and approachable. I enjoy being here and come back over over again.
This is my second time here for dinner.
Food was delish, as always.
We ordered the following items:
1. Ahi tuna tartare - more spicy than I expected but yumm!
2. Crab cakes - delish
3. Ahi tuna steak - loved it
4. Brussel Sprouts - didn’t enjoy it much, had too much pepper
5. Lemon Blueberry butter cake - yummy
The ocean views from here are amazing.
A fantastic experience at Mastro’s. We got the Porterhouse and New York strip. Our sides were the macaroni and cheese and brussels sprouts. Definitely recommend. We finished with the butter cake. You’ll need reservations here and expect to pay some serious money for dinner. Worth every penny.
