Mastro’s Ocean Club in Malibu seamlessly blends old-school charm with stunning ocean views, dishing out upscale steaks and seafood in a luxe setting.
" If a classic steakhouse with live music and a view sounds like your speed, it doesn’t get much better than Mastro’s in Malibu. Most nights around 6pm, you’ll find someone singing R&B covers while playing the piano by the bar. Order a martini, take in the ocean view, and eat steak like you’re celebrating an imaginary birthday. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
"At this point, this Mastro’s locations might be even more famous than its sister spot in Beverly Hills, given the pristine views of the Pacific Coast. As with other Ocean Club locations, there’s a bit more of a focus on seafood towers and fish, though steak fans will find plenty to enjoy as well. Skip the lobster mac & cheese, but be sure to get an order the tremendously rich butter cake." - Farley Elliott
"Perfect For: Parents Who Iron Their Jeans The term “business casual” was practically invented for your parents, who haven’t worn anything more casual than crisp jeans since 1986. Keep mom and dad in their comfort zone and take them to a steakhouse with a view: Mastro’s. There are white tablecloths and a giant bone-in rib-eye on the menu, but there’s also a TV on the wall to keep your brother occupied. Basically everyone is happy. Order a martini, take in the ocean view, and eat a bunch of steak to celebrate officially being an adult." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
"COVID-19 Update: Open for pickup and delivery. This location used to be home a different steakhouse, called the Chart House, before Mastro’s fairly seamlessly replaced it a few years back. After all, the real draw here isn’t the food, but the view: Perched on the beach, with very little distance between you and the water, expansive glass windows showcase a truly magnificent panorama of the Pacific. Warm, luxe interiors and great seafood round out the experience; angle to come here for a drink (and an appetizer) around sunset.

"Some nights you need to bring out the big guns, and on those nights, you drive down PCH to Mastro’s. Yes it’s a steakhouse, and yes it’s a chain, but somehow that doesn’t matter when you’re staring at the ocean and eating a steak that costs more than your monthly coffee budget. Mastro’s is all about the experience, and it more than delivers." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox
