Gluten-Free at Mastro's Steakhouse

I have Celiac. My wife doesn’t. They are supposed to make the steak without the rub for it to be gluten free. You really can’t tell if the rub is on the steak, so normally you have to take their word for it. Luckily for me, my wife likes her steak well done, so I noticed mine looked very cooked before even cutting into it. The waiter dismissed my concern, saying the runners never make mistakes. I then cut into the steak and it was beyond well done. I pointed it out only to find out that they did indeed switch our steaks. The manager came over and I told them, beyond how the steak was cooked, that I have a serious allergy to gluten and they need to be more careful. The manager offered me a salad while I waited for the steak… the salad came with croutons on it!! Needless to say, we left. It’s unacceptable by any restaurant, but especially one at this price point.

Nice little gluten menu and the staff is extremely accommodating. I normally stick to salads and a side of steak/fish and they ensure me they don’t season it with gluten stuff. The vibe is fun inside is fun as well especially on the weekends when they have live entertainment

No GF menu, no GF items marked on menu. Meats are prepared with a steak rub that contains gluten. Staff was willing to help but not particularly knowledgeable about gluten/CC.

This Maestro’s has separate GF menu. Server was very aware of what can be prepared safely. No GF bread offered with everyone else’s bread basket. Steak and side dishes well prepared.

Beautiful restaurant, very nice waiter, lovely experience. I thought I was safe ordering a blackened salmon, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. I was assured by the waiter that it would be safe. It was definitely not. I was sick within the hour. I don't know if it was a cross contamination issue or if there was overt gluten in the seasoning, but suffice it to say, the waiter and kitchen staff were unprepared for a gluten-free customer.

I have eaten at other Mastro’s locations before, so I had some expectations as to what to expect, and this Mastro’s did not disappoint! While I still wish they had gf bread that they could bring out with the other bread basket, I had a delicious meal— fish, a baked potato, and crème brûlée! They have a separate gluten free menu and are happy to talk to you about preparation. Excellent!

A lot of the menu is already GF or can be made GF. They call it “gluten sensitive” I’m assuming because of a shared kitchen and as a corporate org that may cover them for cross contamination liability.

Overall great meal and tasty food. No problems after.

The food was good and didn't get sick. I made sure to mention my gluten sensitivity to the waiter and instead of thier house seasoning on the steak they used salt and pepper. I got a few sides that were gf

Don’t be fooled. You will get sick. I thought the last review was from a while ago. This is CA-I’m sure I’ll be fine. I was assured that my meal was gluten feee. It was not. I went for a work function and will not be back.

Awesome experience today! Chef Dan came out and made sure we had a safe gluten free meal. My daughter ate sautéed shrimp, broccoli, Caesar Salad and mango sorbet. Great food!

Ask for Fifi! She was very knowledgeable about our dietary needs and her serving skills were on point! The gluten free menu has so many amazing choices for appetizers, seafood, steak, and the sides were to die for!!! They even have a selection of deserts!!! This is the perfect restaurant for a well rounded gluten free meal. We will definitely be back and will ask for Fifi!

The waitress was super accommodating. She pointed out that there is a rub on the steak with wheat in it but that if I wanted steak they could make it without. Lots of great choices.

They have a full gluten free menu! It’s amazing, service is amazing! Food is amazing!

No gf menu but they will make sure you get a good meal. I had pan seared sea bass, lobster mashed potatoes, truffles mushrooms & snap peas. Very expensive but a great place for a special occasion. They do not have gf bread which is def disappointing considering what an upscale place it is.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice seafood options, attention to dietary detail, beautiful location.

Chef Adrian and everyone at Mastro's Steakhouse in Thousand Oaks were amazing! They have a GF menu that comes leather bound just like a regular menu. The chef reviewed everything I wanted to order with me at the table and prepared a special GF rub since their house rub has gluten. Came and checked on me at end of meal, truly showed so much care and interest in meeting my needs. Everything was delicious and no reaction!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Biggest GF menu of any restaurant that I have been to. The service was outstanding. A whole basket of GF breads, different types. The warm butter cake was to die for.

large, delicious gluten-free menu. The appetizers, steaks, and sides were all delicious.

From start to finish, 100% aware and food was phenomenal!

I ate here last month, I had steak and mushrooms and 20 minutes later I was up in their bathroom throwing up and crying of stomach pains. I was "glutenized". Our waiter did not seem to care and we have never been there again. I don't recommend this restaurant . If you are looking for a great steak house, my favorite place is Morton's steakhouse and Ruth's christ steakhouse.
