Mastro's Ocean Club Restaurant Review

: This swanky Newport Coast restaurant features several dining areas to enjoy the sweeping ocean views, including cozy romantic corners, window tables and lovely indoor-outdoor courtyard seating. Since this Mastro's outpost features seafood rather than steaks, most guests start with the three-tiered silver platter brimming with your choice of cold foods from the sea, such as crab claws, oysters, lobster, mussels and ahi. When it comes to entrées, don't expect anything elaborate, as most of the fresh fish is cooked au natural, highlighted by its natural flavor, butter or herbs. As for the all-Prime steaks, Mastro's certainly knows how to grill up smoky, tender and satisfying beef. Everything on the menu is ordered à la carte, so be sure to request heaping side dishes like steamed asparagus or lobster mashed potatoes. For dessert, target the tart Key lime pie or New York-style cheesecake. The rather extensive wine list boasts an impressive arrangement of whites and reds providing a wealth of opportunity for surf or turf pairings.
