We went to Mastro's ocean Club during special holiday hours for The President's Day Weekend. We had reservations and arrivedearlier for check in. We were seated promptly at 3pm, which was our scheduled time. We opted to sit in the courtyard/patio area which was still very much like sitting in the middle of the restaurant. We were seated near some fountains and greenery which was quite charming and relaxing. Our server was very knowledgeable and explained the specials as well as the menu options. I ordered the French 77 and Lemon drop cocktails and my husband ordered a Mojito and a bourbon sour. All of the cocktails were well mixed and delicious. For dinner my husband chose the ribeye and the lobster mashed potatoes. I chose the filet mignon and the truffle butter mushrooms. Everything tasted phenomenal. Our server was working with two other employees seamlessly. There were no gaps in attention to detail or service to our table. I highly recommend Mastro's Ocean Club.

Fantastic as always, we are never disappointed in the food or service. Isabel was wonderful in helping us with our party of 7 yesterday by achieving a relaxing and great experience. When a place like this is always on point it usually has a lot to do with the management. I think Andrew may be the manager here and if I’m forgetting his name I apologize. With all the restaurants in our neighborhood this is one of our top places that we know will not disappoint. Cheers! Denise and Matthew

Amazing menu selections - everything was fresh and delicious. The specially prepared calamari was exceptional, as was the cioppino and pasta. Our waiter Blake was spot on and very attentive, even with the craziness of Valentine’s Day. Can’t wait to go back!

Our experience at this Javier's was overall fantastic. The food and service were what you always hope a restaurant of this caliber would be. We would recommend that if you are dining at a busy time of day to arrive early as this is an extremely busy restaurant and center, and the parking lots can completely fill up and the valet can get backed up. Other than that, our experience was top notch!
