Order beyond the steak if this is a return visit

The signature dishes give a useful ordering map. Steak remains central, with options such as the Petite Filet, Bone-In Ribeye, Porterhouse. For diners who want the seafood side of the restaurant, Chilean Sea Bass and Mastro's Seafood Tower are the clearest named options.

For a group, the strongest approach is to build the table around a mix of steak, seafood, sides. Lobster Mashed Potatoes fit the steakhouse experience, while Mastro's Signature Warm Butter Cake is the named dessert to consider if the meal calls for a final splurge. At about $120 per person, it is worth choosing the items that matter most rather than treating every course as an add-on.

For a leaner dinner, keep the order anchored by one steak, one seafood dish, one or two shared sides. The restaurant's strengths are the steakhouse-and-seafood format and its named signature dishes, so the safest strategy is to order from that core rather than chasing specials or formats.
