    I loved it ! I celebrated my birthday with my parents Of course! Dining at Mastro’s was an exquisite experience from start to finish. I indulged in the 12oz fillet, which was flawlessly cooked to a tender perfection, exuding rich, savory flavors. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy, while the mac & cheese was delicious. & of course I treated myself to the butter cake—a decadent masterpiece that was perfectly moist and delicately sweet. The service was impeccable, with attentive and courteous staff ensuring a seamless dining experience. Mastro’s delivers culinary excellence in an elegant setting, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

    The people who run this restaurant are so accommodating and eager to please. Food is very good with lots of options from which to choose. I love their pita bread and the house-made condiment that comes with it. The dolmas are excellent. The location is really convenient to Union Square and to the SF Playhouse. Be sure to try one of the desserts.

    We ordered drinks, which came promptly and were good. Both of us had jambalaya. It was quite tasty. The show started somewhat late, so we had time for another round of drinks. Once the show started, and during and after the show, service was less available. It took us a bit of time to get our check, but we were able to chat with the performers, so it was fun. The parking discount at the Mason-Ellis garage worked out well. We highly recommend Biscuits and Blues for dinner and a show! We'll definitely be back.
