Like Home sweet home – I have been a regular guest at Masa for almost a year. Now visiting at least once or twice a week. I discovered the restaurant through a friend who highly recommended the bar and tequila around relaxing atmosphere and great beats. Masa and the staff have always provided great attention for my guests and me. The hostess is a very genuine young lady and treats her visitors with care and warmth; servers have all great personalities and look joeys of working together. Managers of the house always provided ... read more

Avoid like the plague – Went to Masa and was highly disappointed in the whole experience. We arrived twenty minutes before our reservation celebrating a birthday on a Saturday. We checked in, told them about my date's birthday and requested a candle for our dessert. Margaritas at the bar would tide us over we figured. Problem is, it took fifteen minutes. I understand the dining room was full, but the bar wasn't. And for $14 each, for the margaritas, they were not good. They put salt on mine after I asked for no salt, and got... read more

WORST dining experience EVER! – So disappointed! Came here for my birthday with out of town family and friends. Reservations were made over a week in advance for 9:30PM, didn't even get seated until 10:15 after being told 4 times our table was being cleared and we would sit in one minute. The only compliment I can give is that the drinks were great. Other than that, it was, by far the worst dining experience ever! The waiter apologized for our wait and assured us we would be taken care of. Once seated, our drinks took anothe... read more

THE WORST RESTAURANT EVER – So disgusting. This has got to be the worst restaurant in Boston. Even there servers told us that while our food took 1 hour to get to the table. Lovely when a server says "yeah the owners are Idiots and don't care about anything as long as the they make a buck. We don't even have a chef anymore, just linecooks who CANT actually cook." With that my party of four got up and left. The GM who i guess is also the owner or something, told US "good riddens, your Not welcome back!" when we said how awful... read more

Must try!! – Just meanered into Masa for a impromptu Sunday Brunch and was pleasantly suprised. For a beautiful spot in a good neighborhood the prices were really reasonable and the service excellent. Our brunch was very fresh and yummy. Protions were kind of "Ehh" but when you factor in how affordable they were it all fell into perspective. I was with a friend that had been in the night before for tapas and sangria and said that it was wonderful and super cheap (some kind of special?). Most importantly the service was excel... read more

A regular night out – A group of us went here the other night and it was pretty decent. Our service was great, our drinks were great, but the food was nothing special. Everyone ate their food, but no one said it was good or bad. It's an average place with above average service.

The perfect dinner date – We recently went to Masa after having checked out the web-site, and passed by. The decor is warm, all in yellows and copper, South-westernish with style. At the bar I had the best Caipirinhia in Boston, actually made by a Brazilian bartender. The cockatil list is nice. When we ordered the dinner, we decided to go with the Masarita pitcher - obviously some kind of sangria maison. Well non, it was this huge bowl of super-strong margarita ! (good yes, but we couldn't finish it). But above all, we loved... read more
