"I came here to treat my partner to a lovely birthday dinner and ended up BEYOND happy with the occasion, food, and treatment received!! I made a reservation and mentioned that it was my boyfriend 's 27th birthday, so they added a personalized note to the menu to commemorate it and ensured we received excellent treatment and a had a wonderful experience throughout the entire evening! Starting off with a pair of cocktails, I thought they were all very creative, strong, and full of various flavors! The Purple Mist was my personal favorite it has a purple color as you may suspect), flavors that both come both a bit strong and others that are more subtle, as you might suspect, and includes an edible flower! Alongside these we also got a basket of bread and some clam chowder soup. The bread came in several varieties and were all great quality, and the soup was absolutely delicious. I felt it was the perfect way to start the evening, warm the stomach, and dip some of our bread into! For the main course, we split one of the 16oz New York Strips for $70, which for at least, was MORE than enough for the both of us. The steak came cooked perfectly medium as requested and I 'm admittedly not a huge steak connoisseur) tasted delicious! My personal favorite dishes are what most people would probably consider the sides, so I was in love with the Lobster Mashed Potatoes $40), White Cheddar Mac N Cheese $15), and Creamed Corn $15) that we ordered to accompany the steak!! Everything was so creamy, cheesy, and absolutely delectably wonderful! Throughout the evening, the service from all the staff was very friendly and helpful, as this was our first time visiting a Mastro 's. For dessert, we had a couple more cocktails and they provided us with a little 'Happy Birthday ' cheesecake! It came with loads of whip cream on the side to dip your bites in if you so desired and was the perfectly sized dessert for us, as we 're not the biggest dessert people! The views and vibes are also immaculate we were directly by the window but were still able to enjoy the gorgeous view outside as the sun began to go down. There 's also a few lovely areas just outside the restaurant for some photos if you so desire. To close, Mastro 's Ocean Club in Malibu is the PERFECT location for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions! We were wonderfully treated throughout the evening, enjoyed everything we ordered, and would certainly be happy to return in the future! I felt this was an excellent value for the quality and ambiance of the experience!"

"During my last visit, I remember some standout cocktails: if I recall correctly, the 'Brooklyn Nail' and 'Cucumber Spring Water' were both excellent. For starters, we enjoyed 'On Dough' (flatbreads) with Mediterranean steak and bourbon pulled beef, both of which were fantastic. The dough was just right—not thick, chewy, or heavy like at some other places—making it a perfect starter for a large group or a date. We also tried the tuna tartare and smoked beef tartare, and the cocktails we had between dishes were fabulous. The smoked beef tartare was the best I’ve ever had! For our entrees, we shared the bronzed fish, which was epic—cooked perfectly with amazing flavors, and the fish was super fresh. The bourbon beef ribs were exceptional, too. I’m a huge fan of veal, and it’s often hard to find it done right at other restaurants, but Bison and Bourbon absolutely nailed the veal chop. I highly recommend it! As for sides, I had several, and they were all delicious, but the bourbon cipollini onions (which had a great kick!) and sautéed kale are must-tries. Oh, and don’t forget to order the chickpea snack from the bar menu—it’s a legit choice! Although I’m not usually a dessert person, everyone in my party loved them. I did try the banana bread pudding and it was fantastic—I even finished my buddy’s portion while he took a call! Here’s the kicker: the atmosphere is unparalleled. We dined outdoors in the courtyard, which has a great vibe—chic with plenty of space between tables. Our waitress was phenomenal; she knew the menu by heart and was very attentive. The timing of the food delivery was perfect, too. Oh, and both times I found parking in under 30 seconds and within a block. Winner, winner, bourbon dinner!"
