About Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills
A Pearl Recommended, OAD-ranked American steakhouse on N Canon Drive in Beverly Hills. Mastro's delivers reliable, high-energy dinner service in a room built for occasion dining — loud, confident, and easy to book by LA standards. The right choice when you want a polished steakhouse without the advance-planning pressure of the city's tasting-menu tier.
The Verdict
If you're choosing between Mastro's Beverly Hills and a newer LA steakhouse with a chef-driven concept, Mastro's wins on a specific criterion: it delivers the full-production, high-energy steakhouse experience that the Beverly Hills crowd expects, and it does so reliably. This is not the place for quiet conversation or experimental cooking. It is the place when you want a confident, well-drilled American steakhouse in a room that feels appropriately grand for N Canon Drive. Pearl Recommended in 2025 and ranked #215 on Opinionated About Dining's Casual North America list in 2024, it earns its place in the conversation without needing to overpromise.
What to Expect
The energy at Mastro's runs loud from the moment service begins in the evening. Dinner-only hours (Monday through Thursday 5–10 pm, Friday and Saturday 5–11 pm, Sunday 5–10 pm) mean the room fills quickly and the atmosphere trends toward celebration-night intensity rather than midweek business casual. If you've been once and found the noise level a challenge, that is not a flaw in your experience — it is the room's default setting. Come back with that expectation calibrated and it reads differently: as confident, buzzing energy rather than an intrusion.
Chef Hidetoshi Nakamura leads the kitchen, and the technical standard here sits closer to the serious end of the American steakhouse tradition. The kitchen operates within a well-established format, which means consistency is the value proposition. Compared to more theatrically inventive kitchens in LA — Somni for molecular progression or Kato for new Taiwanese ambition , Mastro's is not competing on creativity. It is competing on execution within a genre: properly handled prime beef, a full classical supporting cast, and a room that knows what it is.
The Beverly Hills address positions this squarely in the high-spend, occasion-dining tier. While specific menu pricing is not confirmed in our data, the N Canon Drive location and the OAD recognition signal clearly that this is a $$$$-range night out. Plan accordingly. For steakhouse comparisons at a national level, Peter Luger in New York remains the benchmark for stripped-back beef focus, while CUT by Wolfgang Puck in Singapore shows what a celebrity steakhouse can achieve at the technical ceiling. Mastro's Beverly Hills sits between those poles: more polished than Peter Luger, less architecturally ambitious than CUT.
Booking is rated Easy. You do not need to plan weeks in advance for most nights, which is a genuine advantage over much of the serious dining scene in Los Angeles. For context, securing a table at Hayato or Providence requires considerably more forward planning. If a steakhouse dinner comes together at short notice, Mastro's is a dependable option rather than a fallback compromise.

FAQs
Can I eat at the bar at Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Bar seating at Mastro's is generally available and a practical option if you want a shorter commitment or arrive without a reservation. It suits the format well , an American steakhouse bar works for a solo diner or a pair who want to eat without booking the full table experience. That said, our venue data does not confirm specific bar seating arrangements, so call ahead if this is central to your plan.
What should I wear to Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
No confirmed dress code in our data, but the Beverly Hills address and OAD recognition place this firmly in occasion-dining territory. Smart-casual is a safe baseline , think what you'd wear to Osteria Mozza rather than a weekend brunch spot. The room skews dressed-up on Friday and Saturday nights, so if you're going then, err toward the sharper end of your wardrobe.
Is Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills good for solo dining?
Yes, within reason. The lively atmosphere means you won't feel conspicuous dining alone, and the steakhouse format , where the meal is built around a single main , suits solo visits better than a sharing-plates restaurant. Bar seating, if available, is the natural choice for a solo diner. Compare to Providence, where solo counter seating requires more advance coordination.
Is lunch or dinner better at Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Dinner only , Mastro's does not offer lunch service. Hours run from 5 pm every day of the week, with Friday and Saturday extending to 11 pm. If you want a daytime steakhouse-adjacent meal in LA, you'll need to look elsewhere. The dinner-only format is consistent with the venue's positioning as an occasion-dining destination rather than an all-day operation.
What should I order at Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Our data does not include a confirmed menu, so we won't invent dish names. What the OAD ranking and Pearl Recommended status do confirm is that the kitchen performs reliably within the American steakhouse tradition. For a returning visitor, the practical move is to focus on the beef program , that is where a steakhouse at this recognition level earns its keep , and treat the sides and starters as supporting cast rather than the main event. If you want a kitchen where the full menu competes equally with the protein, Kato or Hayato are different arguments entirely.
How far ahead should I book Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which puts Mastro's in a more accessible tier than most Pearl Recommended venues in Los Angeles. For a Thursday or Sunday dinner, same-week booking is likely workable. Friday and Saturday nights will fill faster given the later service window and the Beverly Hills weekend crowd. A week's notice is a comfortable buffer for weekend dates. Compare this to Somni or Hayato, where weeks-out booking is standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I eat at the bar at Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Bar seating is available at Mastro's and is a reasonable option if you want the full energy of the room without a formal table reservation. Given that booking difficulty is low overall, walk-in bar dining is a realistic move any night of the week. It suits solo diners or pairs more than groups.
What should I wear to Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Mastro's Beverly Hills is a classic American steakhouse in 90210, so the crowd trends dressed up rather than casual — think collared shirts, blazers, and heels rather than denim and sneakers. Nothing in the venue data mandates a formal dress code, but the Beverly Hills address and the room's energy set an implicit standard. Erring toward business casual or smart evening wear is the safer call.
Is Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills good for solo dining?
Yes, and more so than most LA steakhouses in this tier. Low booking friction means you can secure a seat without advance planning, and bar seating gives solo diners a natural perch in the room. Mastro's OAD Casual North America ranking (#215 in 2024) reflects a consistent, crowd-pleasing operation rather than a chef-driven tasting format, which makes the solo experience less awkward than at counter-only omakase venues.
Is lunch or dinner better at Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Dinner is your only option — Mastro's Beverly Hills operates evenings only, seven days a week (5–10 pm Monday through Thursday and Sunday, 5–11 pm Friday and Saturday). There is no lunch service to compare against.
What should I order at Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Specific menu items are not documented in Pearl's venue data, so naming dishes here would be speculation. What the Pearl Recommended (2025) rating and OAD Highly Recommended recognition do confirm is that the core steakhouse format — proteins, sides, the full American chophouse structure — is the reason to visit. Order around the steak program and you are in the right territory.
How far ahead should I book Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills?
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which means same-week reservations are generally achievable, and last-minute walk-ins are a realistic option. This is a meaningful contrast to harder-to-book LA venues in the chef-driven or omakase category. Friday and Saturday (5–11 pm) will be the most competitive nights, so book a few days ahead if you have a specific date in mind.

Book four to six weeks out minimum. At this price and format, it is the seafood tasting menu benchmark for the city, with service depth and sourcing discipline that justifies the spend for special occasions and returning guests alike.
- KatoKato is the No. 1 restaurant in Los Angeles by two consecutive LA Times rankings, a Michelin-starred Taiwanese-American tasting menu with a 2025 James Beard Award for Best Chef: California. The 10-course menu from Jon Yao is matched by one of the city's deepest wine programs. Book six to eight weeks out minimum — this is among the hardest reservations in the country to secure.

Two Michelin stars, ranked #2 by the LA Times and #10 in North America by OAD. Near-impossible to book, but worth pursuing for a serious special occasion.
- MélisseMélisse is a two Michelin-starred, 14-seat tasting-menu counter in Santa Monica — one of Los Angeles's most technically ambitious dinners. Book if French classical technique applied to California produce is your preferred register.

Pearl Recommended for 2025 and ranked top 26 in North America by Opinionated About Dining, it is the only restaurant in Los Angeles combining this level of technical cooking with full theatrical production.

- SomniSomni is a 14-seat Californian-Spanish tasting counter in West Hollywood holding three Michelin stars (2025) and 96 points from La Liste 2026.
