History
Founded in 1999 in Scottsdale, Arizona, Mastro's was acquired in 2007 by private equity groups Kinderhook Industries LLC and Soros Strategic Partners LP, who aimed to broaden its footprint. The acquisition by Landry's, Inc. in 2013 marked a strategic expansion beyond its traditional Western U.S. base to include major eastern cities such as New York City, Boston, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The chain debuted its first New York City location in 2014 on Sixth Avenue. By 2017, Mastro's extended its presence to Houston and Boston, with the Houston restaurant situated within the Post Oak Hotel and Tower, another Landry's property. A subsequent opening took place in Fort Lauderdale in 2018.
The establishment at The Post Oak Hotel was honored with Wine Spectator’s top restaurant accolade, highlighting Mastro's dedication to superior wine and culinary standards.
COVID-19 outbreak
In 2021, Mastro's Palm Desert site experienced a notable COVID-19 outbreak among staff members, leading to at least two hospital admissions. This incident included the detection of an omicron variant case, identified as the first confirmed occurrence within the Coachella Valley.
