We spent $150 Lemongrass wings, an order of 3 tacos, steak, and the jambalaya pasta, and a grapefruit drink. The lemongrass wings were decent. The tacos were pretty gross. $14 for 3 under special. The pasta somehow had no flavor despite the amount of sauce. I was very disappointed. $26 down the drain. The alcoholic drink was very watered down. Also on special for $9. Overall I wouldn’t eat here again. If the food is going to cost nearly $30 per entree, they need to nail the taste. Chain restaurants should not be better value/taste.
There are much better places, similarly priced, in this town. First and Last time coming to Mason Social tonight. The server may have been new, but he was completely unable to answer basic questions, like "How much soup do you get in a standard order?" and was spending more time flirting with the hostess than paying attention to the only table he had in the whole restaurant. It was mind-boggling that a section of 4 tables had three servers, without even looking at the other 3/4ths of the restaurant. Food was mediocre at best. On top of getting a disappointing portion of soup, maybe a full 8 oz with no bread or accoutrements as a main course for my partner; the Mason Tuna appetizer was served too cold to taste and the concoction clearly needed citrus, hell maybe even a marinade of the tuna to give it any sign of life. The Marrow Burger was a $3 upcharge gimmick, that in reality was a watery tasteless burger with no personality with a stretchy and salty sourdough bun to add insult to injury. Fried onions weren't present, hell, what did I even eat, other than another grotesquely over-sized lump of inferior beef between two loafs of sadness? I can't tell you, I didn't taste anything else. Overall, this place strikes me as the sort of restaurant where an owner pours a ton of money into, hires a great chef to develop recipes and open, but 6 month to a year later, both the owner and chef are on to bigger things and the management entrusted to continue their vision starts to let everything slowly slip and they have now reached the point of no return (literally). Two stars is charity. P.S. I don't waste food, so yeah, I ate the entire awful meal with the hope that my gut will improve on it for the next creature in the food chain.
