Mastro's Ocean Club

Right on the Intracoastal in Coral Ridge, Mastro's Ocean Club pairs a genuine waterfront setting with the kind of big-night-out steakhouse experience that justifies the splurge. This is the spot for a birthday, an anniversary, or any occasion where you want a table that feels like an event, helped along by nightly live music and a lounge that opens daily at 4 PM for anyone easing into the evening with a cocktail. The Australian Wagyu tomahawk and the scallops come up again and again as reasons regulars keep returning, and Executive Chef Michael Colbert's kitchen has earned enough recognition to make Mastro's a legitimate Gold Coast dining destination, including an OpenTable Diners' Choice nod for 2025. Weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday adds another way to catch the water views without committing to the full dinner price tag, and social hour offers a lower-stakes entry point into the same room. It's a $$$$ experience, and that comes with the usual tradeoffs: parking can be tight, and it's worth going in expecting add-on charges like bread service rather than assuming everything is complimentary. But for groups, date nights, and special occasions where atmosphere matters as much as the steak, Mastro's consistently delivers on both fronts.
