Masona GrillContinually good food & service!This place continues to amaze me with their fine food and very friendly service. Overlook the décor and focus on what really matters......the food.6/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe'll Go Again & AgainMasona Grill is a great neighborhood restaurant that was the perfect place for celebrating our anniversary. It was our fourth time at the restaurant and it keeps getting better. Their regular menu is excellent - the duck, cod and shrimp dishes are particular favorites - but they have nightly specials as well, and they are always excellent. Last night they had soft shell crabs and another delicious shrimp dish. Shrimp wontons (with an excellent sauce) started our meal and we loved the flourless chocolate torte at the end. Unlike so many places, Masona Grill is broken down into a couple of smaller rooms and so the noise level is delightfully low. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We'll be back - we love this place!6/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways GreatThe most consistent restaurant we have been to. Have eaten there at least a dozen times and always had a great meal. The food is creative and interesting without being over the top.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMEven though we had to waitEven though we had to wait more than a half and hour past our reservation time, the food did not disappoint.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat foodThe food at this restaurant is consistently great! We had the pork tenderloin and it was amazingly tender and full of flavor. The salads are imaginative and fresh and the desserts are more that large enough to split. Be sure to make reservations, this place is small and fill up fast.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding food and serviceThis place is fabulous. The food is always delicious- we have never had anything that was not superb.The chef uses the freshest ingredients. All wait staff are friendly and informative. Easy parking. Would eat here every night if my wallet and waistline would allow.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMMasona Grill...never disappointingWe have eaten at Masona Grill at least 5 or 6 times and have never been disappointed. Wonderful preparation and presentation. We started with the mussels and my only negative is my own tendency to eat too much bread to soak up the broth. We then both had the soft shell crab which was served with a wonderful sauce, piled high over sauteed cabbage and other vegetables. While I rarely eat anything deep fried these days, this dish is worth making an exception.
For you chocolate lovers, the flourless chocolate cake (served with...what else? chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce) was just the thing, although the coconut cake which has replaced the carrot cake also sounded great.
Our wait person was both friendly and informative.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMFriendly, good menu choices,Friendly, good menu choices, great service, but quite noisy5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistantly Good Neighborhood SpotWe first got turned onto Masona Grill through a Groupon offer and found it to be a friendly spot with interesting dishes and very adequate wine list. We've since been back with friends and never been dissapointed. It's the kind of one-off, funky spot you might find in the Southend but it's close to us in West Roxbury.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMNeighborhood TreatWhile the menu prices are not any bargain, the chef really knows what he is doing and you will not be disappointed with your meal. In this restaurant.....you get what you pay for. Delicious!5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMnever disappointedWe always know we will have a delicious meal with excellent service.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious food, friendly serviceThis was our first visit to Masona Grill. We would highly recommend the ceviche appetizer (fresh, clean, moderately spicy, delicious), the scallop entree (which was a special), and the seafood chupe. I was a little concerned about the "tomato lobster cream" base of the chupe, thinking it may be heavy. I shouldn't have been. It was light, fresh, and divine; the seafood was perfectly cooked . We had a delicious chocolate cake for dessert and cups of decaf that were actually decaf - this happens less often than one would think. The staff was friendly and professional from the moment we walked in and clearly have a real love for the food and an affection for the restaurant in general. We'll be back.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMsmall neighborhood restaurant,small neighborhood restaurant, excellent food and very good drinks. Fresh food, very good portions. We go back over and over.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMMasona Grill LoversFriends introduced us to Masona Grill several years ago. Since then, we have become regulars.In fact, we have introduced many of our friends to Masona Grill and they, too have returned many times. The food is always exceptional.Dishes are prepared to maximize flavor and eye appeal. I can truly say that we have always had a wonderful dining experience there.
The wait staff is personable, attentive and accommodating. The owner, Manuel, is involved with all aspects of the restaurant and that contributes to making Masona Grill the kind of dining experience we enjoy most.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMLove Masona Grille. FoodLove Masona Grille. Food is always fresh and wonderful.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMMasona is a lovely restaurantMasona is a lovely restaurant with very tasty food. Tables are a bit small for 4 people and chairs do not have padded seats, which may make some people uncomfortable. We will return but not often because it is a bit pricey. All in all it is a good restaurant which offers excellent food.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMVery imaginative and deliciousVery imaginative and delicious food. Will go back, after a first try. Decor is instriguing, but seats are uncomfortable.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently delicious, creativeConsistently delicious, creative , warm and friendly.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was a lovely dinner, notIt was a lovely dinner, not my first, will return.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, superb service.Great food, superb service.

Masona Grill is our go-to place when we're looking for a great meal, in a great place run with a great group of people!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMA Great FindThis is the second time we've eating at Masona Grill. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the space, despite full tables, was quiet enough that we could hear each other easily. The space is broken down into small rooms, which helps. I loved the salmon with its little bit of excellent crispiness and the seaweed salad that came with my shrimp ceviche was a nice surprise. The desserts are made on site and I loved the ginger crust with the key lime pie. We had a chocolate torte (sorry, I forgot to pay attention to what it was called) which was out of this world. Later in April they will pair Austrian wines with various dishes. Overall, this place is a great find; we can't wait to return.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMI always enjoy going to MasonaI always enjoy going to Masona Grill. The food is interesting and delicious and the wait staff is knowledgeably and friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMA wonderful restaurant thatA wonderful restaurant that I have visited several times--most recently during Restaurant Week. As always the food-cornmeal encrusted fried oysters, argentinian steak with chimichurri and fries, and flourless chocolate cake was wonderful with the exception of the steak which was a little tough. Service, as always, was excellent and timely.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMCozy, warm atmosphere, greatCozy, warm atmosphere, great food, and nice service. Perfect for a chilly March evening.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMHidden Gem!We went for Restaurant Week. We like to try new restaurants during that time. My wife and I were both raised in the Roslindale/West Roxbury neighborhood so we were curious.
The food,ambience, and service were top notch.
We will be back soon , with friends.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMGood catch on CoreyAtmosphere was very nice. Wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. Good selection on menu with many interesting choices as well as specials. Food was great. While the restaurant was busy it was quiet and we were not rushed.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMdo your self a favor and trydo your self a favor and try this place you will not be sorry i promise also buy a groupon what s deal3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is a wonderful place--foodThis is a wonderful place--food is excellent, beautifully presented and appealing to all the senses. You would expect a restaurant of this quality to be in new York, not West Roxbury. Can't wait to try one of their monthly wine dinners. I'm sure it will be memorable.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have made multiple visitsWe have made multiple visits to Masona Grill, and quite frankly, it has become one of our favorite local places. The staff is always welcoming and the food is creative and excellent.3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMIt's only been a month sinceIt's only been a month since the last time I came here, but they have already added enough new innovative things to the menu that, once again, our meal felt original. We got the wontons, the eggplant carpaccio, the stuffed acorn squash, and the cod. I would give everything we ordered an A+ for innovation and taste. My wife and I continue coming back here because we get a great new experience every time.
Also, we love our server, Gina. She is a cut above.3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat neighborhood spot. MenuGreat neighborhood spot. Menu is interesting. Food and service were very good. A very enjoyable dinner.2/23/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing as always!An excellent place! Service is SUPER friendly, from the wait staff, to the manager. Food is delicious, with unique Peruvian touches to familiar dishes. This one is a hidden gem - I can't recommend Masona enough!2/22/2013 12:00:00 AMInteresting gourmet SouthInteresting gourmet South American flare to the menu is an appreciated change from the ordinary, and our waitperson, Scott, made our visit positively delightful. However, this menu is overpriced, and I was reminded why I stopped going there before. We had a groupon, which helped, and that was definitely the way to go. However, if you don't mind paying a bit more for something more original than most places serve, it's worth the full price meal, as well.1/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing food and atmosphere!Our server was fantastic and we were seated at a lovely window table with a view of the bar. The food came out hot, in a timely manner and was attractively presented! Portions were larger than I expected and all three courses were TASTY. As a celiac, Masona Grille is a GEM because their menu marks dishes (and there are a lot!) with a GF so you know right away you can eat- no waiting while they ask the kitchen, etc. My wine was very reasonably priced and delicious!I will be going back not just once more, but once a month more! For commuters, this is easy to access on the commuter rail as the stop is right across the street! Parking is also easy and free! Bonus!!!1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
