Los Angeles is known for movie stars and glamour; however, it is also filled with lots of culinary delights. A true "date night" city, there are tons of wonderful steakhouses. Each has its own style, local favorites, dress code and range of prices. There is something for every budget and desired type of dining experience.
Mastro's Steakhouse
The darker lighting and club like environment have made this a popular place for the younger, well to do crowd. The seating is comprised of plush, black leather chairs and upstairs is an active bar that makes the restaurant a little more rowdy than most steakhouses. It has several traditional cuts of meats available and a large selection of wine. Locals though rave about the martinis.
