    Nice room, food was just ok, and service was spotty. I found it odd that the menus were tattered around the edges and a little dirty. Not a big deal but wasn't what I expected from a Four Seasons. I'll go back but not in a big hurry to do so

While we're glad to hear you enjoyed the room and found the space quiet, we're sorry to learn that the service and menu presentation fell short of expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim to deliver. We’re addressing the details you noted — including the menus — to ensure a more consistent and polished experience for every guest. We appreciate the honest feedback and hope to welcome you back for a much-improved visit. Please reach out to us directly for a chance to make it up to you!

    Delicious food creatively served in appealing design. Recommend the tasting menu so you can savor everything MAASS has to offer. If sitting at the bar like we did, Adam is kind and a great guide for the experience. I’m still thinking about the PB&J Foie Gras and the yellowtail crudo. 😋

    Hi Eric, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our food and service, and that our tasting menu was a memorable experience for you.

    Service is not what I expected it to be for a Michelin Star restaurant. I’ve been to restaurants that don’t have a Michelin star but much better service

    I usually avoid writing negative reviews, but I felt compelled to share my recent experience on Mother’s Day, as it was deeply disappointing. Upon arrival, we were seated at a plastic table the kind of table kids do painting on it. The staff uniforms lacked elegance, and several servers were wearing Jordans or dirty sneakers, which didn’t match the upscale atmosphere the restaurant seems to aim for. Service was disorganized: our food arrived before we even received napkins or silverware. The meal itself only added to our frustration. The short rib was overwhelmingly fatty and left untouched by my son and myself. As for the starters, we were served banana bread and cornbread, neither of which felt special or elevated. Banana bread, in particular, felt like something thrown together at home with overripe fruit, rather than a refined beginning to a celebratory meal. The main course continued the letdown. The mashed potatoes was very liquid with no flavor , and the so-called “truffle bread pudding” lacked depth and coherence. The sea bass was overcooked and dry. Then came the worst thing the dessert : essentially a fluffy pancake with melted vanilla ice cream and maple syrup. Comon! I don’t go to a Michelin-rated restaurant to be served a simple pancake not even good. As a French person with a deep appreciation for refined cuisine, this meal felt not only poorly executed but also disrespectful especially on a day meant to honor mothers. I chose this restaurant over my usual favorite, and I deeply regret it. To be fair, the space itself is stunning from the kitchen to the bar, but presentation, service, and overall culinary execution need serious work. Thank you for the madeleine at the end as a little gift, but even that was overly sweet and unnecessarily glazed. Perhaps it’s a nod to American palates, but subtlety in sweetness can be just as impactful. I truly hope this feedback encourages refinement.

    Thank you for joining us on such a special occasion and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re deeply sorry that Mother’s Day didn’t reflect the high standards we aim for in both food and service. Your feedback on the dishes, presentation, and overall execution is being taken seriously, and we’re already reviewing where we fell short. While we’re glad you enjoyed the space, we know that’s not enough — and we’re committed to ensuring future visits reflect the level of care and refinement you expected. Please reach out to us directly, we'd love the opportunity to make it up to you.
