Best Restaurants for Foodies in Fountain Valley

Great food as usual. Service was patchy. Had to ask for utensils, no salt or pepper on the table. But it was very busy, so that might be the reason. Oysters were meeh, regular dishes great.

I flew in from Arcata for dinner reservations for Valentine with the Mrs. We are staying at the Westin next door. Easy walk to WG. The hostess was amazing, we were seated within 5 min of our rezo and near the Jazz musician. Our waiter was Brandon, amazing experience! We had spent Valentines 2024 WG at oyster bar. This evening rather than order off the menu we wanted to try the 4 course. I don’t have a lot of experience in fine dining and 4 courses with wine pairing. Brandon was very helpful with sharing how the menu would be served this evening. The Mrs she’s used to fine dining but for an island boy from Samoa it was a new experience for me. Amazing experience and for those who may have not experienced fine dining 4 course with wine pairing just ask the your wait person for help. I’m never afraid to ask if I do not know. The fork thing, the many utensils, the different glasses, etc 😂 Definitely will plan a dinner outing for the entire family, 12 total, this summer when I’m back in town. Salute and Respects to Brandon, and the entire WG team. The Jazz musician was 🔥🔥🔥

We saw this place advertised on Instagram and made a reservation for Valentine's Day for four of us. I wasn't sure from the photos, but it is sit-down, and they have booths. The service was excellent. The food is like seafood comfort food--heavy on the lobster mac and cheese, fish and chips, seafood alfredo type of thing as opposed to the King's Fish House type of fare. Their octopus appetizer was excellently prepared. Quite tender. The lobster deviled eggs were good as were the calamari fries. If you like lighter food, they have oysters, poke, and cioppino. They also offer sides of sauteed vegetables. Two at our table ordered the tempura fish and chips. I prefer a little less batter, but and my husband liked it. We did not get their signature lobster roll as it looked bready and a little greasy (melted butter) but everyone around us ordered them. I might try one next time.

We visited in Valentines Day. The restaurant was packed people waiting everywhere. Our experience was great. Although it took more time than usual and the temperature of our food wasn’t right, our dining experience was still good. Our server was pleasant and working so hard to make everyone happy.

Mastros is always a special place to celebrate our wedding anniversary ❤️ Dave and BJ were amazing, and our food, as always, was delicious. My husband ordered a double cut porkchop, and he said it was the best and most tender he's ever had. It was large enough for two. You can't beat the service you get there. Thank you for our special buttercake dessert and the 2 chocolate dipped strawberries 🍓 . We will be back.
