One of the Dining Rooms

This is the perfect restaurant for our Christmas Dinner.  The setting is elegant.  We are looking forward to an evening of Fine Dining. 

Our Server, Jada, went through the Menu with us and answered our questions.  

The Bread Basket: Baguette Toast, 

Soft Pretzels, Pumpernickel Raisin

Mastro's Ocean Club has an extensive Wine List.  I chose Chateau Ste. Michele from the Columbia Valley in Washington.  Eric chose Pinot Noir from Argyle Winery Reserve in the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

Our Appetizers...

Shrimp Cocktail with Lemon

Wedge & Horseradish

The Dry Ice creates an "other

worldly" presentation.

Lemon Wedge, Guacamole,

Mastro's Ocean Club's Dining Areas are dark.  My eight-year-old phone's camera doesn't do our Dinner justice.

Many dishes arrive at our table and are discretely removed by Lydia.  Jada and Lydia work together to ensure that diners have exceptional dining service.

Our Christmas Dinner was beautifully prepared.  Each Appetizer, Entree, Side Dish, and Dessert was oh, so delicious.  

I thanked Jada and Lydia for their kindness and expertise.  I asked Jada to thank The Back of The House Staff for producing our lavish Dishes.

We brought food home.  Tomorrow we feast again!
