    It was beyond crowded and hard to get to the food. I enjoyed the food and service but the noise level was very high and it made it difficult for conversation.

    We ate dinner ate dinner at the chefs table. While it is very pricey, it was well worth the experience. The food was spectacular. There is a reason that the chef has Michelin stars and there is no doubt they are coming for MAASS as well. Our host Nathan was awesome. If you get him talking music, you get a show with dinner. He was great giving us a great education on what we were eating while allowing us to enjoy the expereince. Highly recommend doing their wine pairings with the dinner. The artists in the kitchen have created an exceptionally special menu. Can’t wait to see what spring brings. Will definitely return.

    Great service. Delicious libations. Live singer was nice. Staff very attentive the whole time. Big issue is parking but when we finally got one up front, the staff mentioned it's fine to park on adjacent properties even if they had tow signs.
