Best Steak Restaurants in Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita

Amazing as usual! Very festival and busy tonight! I was so impressed that a server that we have had in the past who wasn’t serving our table tonight was nice enough to stop and greet us during her busy shift. We love dining at Dominico’s on the Lake!

This was our first time dining in this establishment. I've always heard great things about Mastro's and was excited to try their steaks. Made reservation ahead of time. Our server, Sean, was fairly new, but he was friendly and described the dishes extremely well. We ordered half dozen oysters to start, followed by a chopped salad to share. For our Entrees, I went with their Porterhouse, medium rate, and wife ordered a Pan Seared Sea Bass. She thought the fish was somewhat dry, so we talked to our server, and he was happy to assist us to swap the dish to something else. We decided to get their Seared Scallops; which was more expensive, but tasted phenomenal. My steak was very well seasoned and cooked to the right temp. We also ordered their Lobster Mashed Potatoes which was a good portion to share. It was full of flavor and tasted very buttery. Overall, experience was very good, we also ordered a couple of drinks to go along with our meal. To finish our dinner, we also ordered their Espresso Mouse Cake. It was very sweet, but was a good compliment with coffee.

We had an awesome server by the name of Lann. She was very friendly and checked with us often, to see if we needed anything or if our food was to our liking. The other servers who delivered our food was also great and efficient (sorry I didn’t get the two gentlemen’s names). The food was great, we both ordered the petite filet mignon and the crème brûlée was the perfect end to our meal. A shout out to the staff at the front desk and the guys at the valet stand who all were efficient in their jobs as well as greeting us with a smile and friendly service. We love this location the best! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 😁🎄❤️😁

First time at this location and it didn’t disappoint. Went out for a holiday date night and it turned out perfect. Both of us ordered the main filet mignon, one with scallops and the other with crab. Both were cooked to perfection. Had a fantastic bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from Frank Family Vineyards with it. And for dessert, the New York cheesecake with strawberries. Our waiter Jeffrey was very attentive but not overbearing and made sure we were taken care of. Thanks Jeffrey!

Local hangout. Great food. Small staff. Scotch Egg was perfect.
