Good food, badddd service – The bartender was a capital B! Rude, not caring, inconsiderate. One of the worst attitudes I have seen. If the tapas were not good and a deal, I would have walked out!
Scrumptious Tapas & Quesadillas – Masa has the most delish tapas & quesadillas. Mmm Mmm good! My friends and I also chowed down on a variety of tasty and scrumptious bread with dip. If you like to eat a bit of everything in small portions this is the place for you. My waitress was very nice. Hospitable and attentive. I recommend it!
Great food, customer service could be horrible – I have gone to Masa twice. I think the food was great. However, some of the waiters could get a bit cocky and not friendly. One of my friends got into a big fight with the waiter and the manager didn't do much about it. To me, the situation was just a bit ridiculous. My friend returned a bowl of fruit salads saying the fruits were not fresh. The waiter took the fruit bowl into the kitchen, came out, and told my friend that the fruit salads were fresh. This was a bit shocking t... read more
Had brunch here and it was fantastic. I am a huge fan of mexican/southwestern food and this is top of the line. The homemade confiture with the homemade cornbread was fantastic. They should sell the confiture in jars to buy to take home. The food, the service, all top notch. I would expect service like this in a 5 star restaurant. The food was the best. I've eaten in top of the line restaurants and this to me was better than Del Posto which I ate at 2 weeks ago. Sure differnt style, but to me a restaurant is about food, not ... read more
Definitely try it out! – I didn't realize anyone could make chicken taste this juicy, flavorful and absolutely divine. The atmosphere was lively and the setting was nice. They had an impressive tequila list. The cuisine was almost of a fusion kind, which made it even more interesting. Every item that we tried had a unique blend of spices and flavors. I'm a big fan of the simple creme brulee, so I didn't particularly appreciate that they had an espresso creme brulee instead, but clearly I'm biased about that. I would highly r... read more
nice cozy joint – we once had that tapas special (it was like $5 for a sample plate containing 10 diff items) on friday happy hours, don't know if they still have that going on. great ambiance; food and drinks are great. good place to hang after work -- although they don't open till 5:30pm, not early enough for us. they have salsa thursday?!? i have to check it out! :)
Absolutely Fabulous – The food was wonderful. The service was great. The quesadillas were delicious. If you are a fan of key lime pie, it was excellent.
reservatiion problems, rude host – I had a similar experience to michael06780. I had a reservation that was not honored because we were supposedly late (although only by 3 minutes by my watch). We were told that they held time to a clock that was set 20 minutes fast, and that it was *our* fault for coming late. I definitely got the feeling that the host simply thought that my friends and i weren't "good enough" to be eating there.
Horrible and Dishonest Service – I normally enjoy the weekend brunch at Masa - the food is reasonable and tasty. Nothing, however, could have prepared me for how rudely I was treated this past weekend. We had called to confirm that the brunch was open til 3 and to make a reservation for 2:45 pm. We were politely told that it would be no problem and that as long as were seated by 3, we would be fine. We made the 40 minute commute from Cambridge and arrived at 2:47 pm. At this point, we were rudely told that brunch was over an... read more
