Mastro’s Restaurants, a collection of sophisticated, classic steakhouse and ocean club seafood locations, is preparing to debut in San Diego later this year.
The company, owned and operated by brothers and James Beard nominees Mike and Jeffrey Mastro, along with their father Dennis Mastro and business partner Scott Troilo, recently announced on its website that it will open a new location in San Diego sometime in 2025. While there has been no mention of where the restaurant will land, many theories are circulating in local community blogs. This announcement proves impressive for the Mastro family, considering the company recently announced plans to open a location in Irvine later this year.
Customers can expect a high-end menu with 28-day wet-aged USDA Prime steaks, including ribeye, filet mignon, and New York strip, all cooked in a 1,500-degree broiler and served on 450-degree plates. The menu includes fresh seafood, signature appetizers, and delicious sides, complemented by an extensive wine list and live entertainment. Guests are expected to adhere to an upscale dress code, with business casual or formal attire recommended for an elegant dining experience.
Mastro’s Restaurants, founded in 1999 by Dennis Mastro and his family, opened its first Steakhouse in Scottsdale, Arizona. Known for its high-end steaks and luxurious dining, Mastro’s expanded to cities like Beverly Hills and New York. After selling the chain to Landry’s in 2013, the family launched Steak 48, a modern take on the classic steakhouse, and Ocean 44, its seafood-focused sister concept. In October 2023, they opened a new Steak 48 at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The restaurant group also recently took over ownership of Durant’s Steakhouse in Phoenix.
