A Boston treat to find while visiting from NYC – On a cold blustery February night while visiting from NYC, we decided to try Masa. We were so glad we did. The restaurant is located in South End, and holds its own among some celebrated Boston spots on Tremont Street. The cozy and sumptuously detailed decor set the mood for a great evening of dining. We were treated to a complimentary appetizer from the chef, and then served a variety of breads with an assortment of spreads. Our appetizer was a smooth as butter spicy ahi fusi... read more
this is my FAVORITE place... GREAT deals, GREAT food, GREAT service – First of all... this is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Great decor, great music, great atmosphere. I'm going to start from the small stuff... the TAPAS! Aside from the fact that they haven't changed their tapas menu in a few months, you can't beat the deal. If you eat here between 5-7 after work... glass of wine.. etc etc etc... you get a plate of 10 different tapas for 5 dollars. I usually go with my boyfriend and get 2 plates (we mix and match... read more
Fantastic Experience – I've gone to Masa a couple of times now and I will definitely be back. The first time I went we started out with drinks and tapas and later were seated for our reservations. Everything was spectacular. I had the Crispy Chermoula Chicken Breast with Coconut Mole and it was fabulous. Later inteh evening I asked for a hot cocoa, because I don't do coffee and everyone else had order coffee and it looked like we were going to be a while. Unfortunately they didnt have any but they offered try to make some fr... read more
Popular South End restaurant sets the standard for Southwestern chic with creative fare served in a beautiful setting. – The Scene In the stylish South End, where upscale bistros seemingly blend into one another, Masa's warm, Southwestern environs stick out like a cactus. One of the neighborhood's most welcoming bars provides a romantic locale for sucking down tasty "masaritas" (the house margarita, made with grapefruit juice). When the weather's agreeable, patrons jockey for one of the the small sidewalk tables. The Food Ex... read more
Your New Favorite Brunch – Brunch at Masa is to die for. The first time I had the Texas Toast stuffed with caramelized bananas - it was rich and delicious. The second time I had the Huevos Rancheros which I declared my favorite brunch dish of all time. It was the perfect combination of eggs, cheese, beans and cream (with tortilla strips for a nice crunch). I am excited to try the Venezuelan chocolate chip pancakes but I'm not sure I'll be able to stray from my new favorite dish. The decor is warm and inviting - the staff is ... read more
Love it!!! – I love this place! I've never even thought about writing an online review, but after reading some of the crazy ones below that say this place should be avoided, I HAD to. The service has always been really friendly and on point, never abrupt or rushed. They make the best drinks- I'm super picky about my margaritas, and Masa gets it right. The food, I swear, gets better and better each time I go in. I love the new menu! Butternutsquash soup is unreal, and the salmon is to die for, and the filet with truffle macar... read more
Awful, Awful, AWFUL. – Like slop on a plate. My best friend and I dined here on a Wednesday night and I guess we should have read the CitySearch reviews before we decided to waste our time. We ordered cocktails that were watered down, a selection of appetizers that were bland, chicken and steak entrees that appeared to be haphazardly strewn onto the plates and desserts that were forgetable. I felt sorry for the servers that had to carry out this mess. What we paid ($125+) plus what we received (flavorless slop) = highway rob... read more
Best Atmosphere, Food, and Drinks – I went to Masa with a group of friends last Friday night. We had a dinner reservation at 9pm. After checking in with the hostess we went to the bar for drinks. They had a nice selection of tequilas so we decided to have margaritas. They were excellent. We sat down for dinner 15 minutes later. I had the ceviche appetizer. It was delicious, fresh, and creative. The first citrus ceviche I've had that contains watermelon. Mmmmm! The Sea Scallops with barbecued duck and sweet corn cream was ove... read more
Great food and even better service – This place is great. I went there with a few friends and it was my buddys girlfriends birthday. I called ahead to give them a heads up. When we arrived I told the hostes who I was and she asked me to hold for one minute, she returned and asked me to step over to the bar. I agreed and I was greeted by the manager. He asked me what he could do to make the night special for my buddies girl. I told him what wine she likes and asked that a dessert be sent over at the end. Sure enough she had h... read more
