In an electrifying Labor Day preview, Chef Noemi Merlos of Mastro’s has ignited excitement for grilling enthusiasts with expert tips and a tantalizing brunch menu that promises to elevate your holiday celebrations. As summer winds down, Merlos emphasizes the importance of perfecting your grilling technique, starting with bringing steaks to room temperature before cooking and ensuring your grill is scorching hot to lock in those juicy flavors.

“Nothing says Labor Day like firing up the grill,” Merlos declared, showcasing Mastro’s renowned U.S. Prime steaks, including a signature New York strip, ribeye, and filet. Her advice is clear: season generously, leave the meat undisturbed on the grill, and watch as the sizzle creates a mouth-watering crust.

But Mastro’s is not just about steaks. The revamped menu boasts an array of luxurious appetizers, including a stunning seafood tower featuring caviar, crab, shrimp, and lobster. And for those with a sweet tooth, the famous butter cake, layered with cheesecake filling, is a must-try.

The brunch scene is equally impressive, featuring signature dishes like an eight-ounce steak paired with arugula salad and a decadent lobster benedict drizzled with truffle sauce. With live music and cocktails served by the ocean, the Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. is set to be a feast for the senses.

As Mastro’s celebrates its return after a five-month closure, the excitement is palpable. With a capacity of 400 diners and an expanded menu, Chef Merlos is ready to make this Labor Day unforgettable. Don’t miss out on the chance to indulge in culinary delights that will make your holiday truly special. The grill is heating up—are you ready to join the feast?
