I am usually a four star reviewer. If the food is good and the server is attentive, that is good enough for me.\n\n5 Stars are for the rare occasions both the food and server are over the top good. Mastro was both. First Mastro is in the middle of the almost new City Center construction project and mausoleum for the lost profits of Dubai and the MGM Group. It is a really nice place filled with shops people can no longer afford.\n\nMastro from the outside looks like a brown tree house in this glitzy cloud. It is a really beautiful build out with a long and a two dining areas, one in the tree house and one outside said house.\n\nIt is a traditional steakhouse with tons of cuts of cow cooked to your liking and ubiquitous sides: 4 different types of spuds, veggies, etc. I do not eat steak, but most of these places will have one chicken dish and really decent seafood.\n\nI ordered the salad, scallops and split the sweet potato fries. The salad was huge and could have/should have been the meal, especially after the box of 6 kinds of different breads. The scallops really excelled with a Parmesan flavoring, but the hit was my friends Arctic Char, which was perfect....and I mean perfect\n\nWhere is there fish that good in a desert?\n\nThe waiter was excellent and goaded us into dessert. We asked him about the Praline Vs House Special Batter Cake. He said try one as they were his favorite. He would let us try the other. Both were phenomenal....\n\nAs is this place....Really great food and total culinary experience
