Mastro's City Hall

Why we recommend Mastro’s City Hall in Scottsdale

Mastro’s City Hall is one of the Scottsdale restaurants we point guests toward when they ask what to eat the night before (or the night after) a reservation with us. Sonoran-desert, resort-anchored or Old Town dining destination — and the room is worth a dedicated evening, not a squeezed-in pre-club pit stop. This page is a city-guide write-up: what the restaurant is known for, what to order, when to go, what to expect in the room, and the direct route to book. MyRSVP’s concierge service in Scottsdale specializes in nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurants, so dining reservations here run through the venue itself.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Mastro’s has occupied its Old Town Scottsdale location since 2002, pivoting to its current steakhouse identity in 2007. The 150-seat dining room channels understated elegance through hand-blown glass chandeliers by artist Newt Grover, white-clothed tables, leather booths, and candlelit corners that shift seamlessly from intimate to lively as the evening builds. A live piano bar runs seven nights weekly, anchoring the back lounge where couples and groups drift between courses and cocktails. The smaller outdoor patio, strung with lights, captures Scottsdale’s mild desert evenings. The kitchen builds its reputation on wet-aged USDA Prime steaks seared in a 1,500-degree broiler and plated sizzling on 450-degree surfaces—the Tomahawk Ribeye (32 oz., $140 for two) and Bone-In Filet Mignon (12 oz., $68) are workhorses. Seafood carries weight too: the Colossal Shrimp Cocktail ($38) and King Crab Legs ($95 per pound) set high marks, while the Ahi Tuna Tartare ($26) and Lobster Mashed Potatoes ($18) add refinement. Non-steak options like the Double-Cut Pork Chop ($48) and Truffled Mushroom Risotto ($24) round the menu. Finish with the signature Warm Butter Cake ($16)—molten, with vanilla bean ice cream. The wine list runs deep, and cocktails like the Old Fashioned ($18) favor classic construction over trend.

Reservations — how to book Mastro’s City Hall

What we tell guests about Mastro’s City Hall: it is one of the Scottsdale rooms worth a standalone evening rather than a squeezed-in pre-dinner. The reservation itself is handled directly with the restaurant — through their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or by phone — depending on how they run their book. If you can get into the chef’s counter, bar seats, or a tasting menu slot, those are often the fastest way into the version of the room regulars are actually there for. For private dining or larger-group enquiries, the restaurant’s events or reservations team is the right first call, not a generic booking channel.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to know before you visit Mastro’s City Hall. The room operates on these hours: Sunday–Thursday 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM; Friday–Saturday 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM. Lounge open daily 4:00 PM – 1:00 AM. On the dress side: Business casual; no beachwear, gym/athletic apparel, baggy clothing, tank tops, sleeveless shirts, or hats. Peak demand in Scottsdale falls around the November–April cool season, with the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson, and Cactus League Spring Training as sharpest peaks, sharpest on the Waste Management Phoenix Open, MLB Spring Training (Cactus League) — those are the dates the reservation book closes furthest out. If the main dining room is full on your target date, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats or a tasting-menu slot; those formats often stay open days after the primary book has gone.
