"we had 10 course omesaks for 3 and were on a hightop in the middle of the bar area, which is very brightly illuminated and honestly quite unpleasant. we booked the lounge. the food was enough from a few really good bites to some who were unusable. favorite first, the smoked blue fin was exceptional, served in a smoke-filled hole, it had a great texture and taste, very well toned and presented, and it is rare to see blue fin more. my personal favorite was the skallop and aubergine, which was unexpected and beautifully balanced. the fat tuna trio was fun to contrast the various cuts. the Swedish salmon rolled around mango and jalapeños was my honorable mention; the first roll, plucked vegetables, was light and a good start; the garnelen nigiri was served with his head and a dramatic fan of fried rice paper and enjoyed by the table. I was disappointed by the boston oysters (painted as petrol and not well balanced. we got 2 and ate only 1 we have eaten thousands of oysters and actually felt bad not to eat them, but they were not good,) the wagyu was very gristy (I actually went to the bathroom to spit out. it was practically a disc silver skin. very disappointing,) and the last seafood stew felt compelled and was harmless spicy (my man loves spicy.) the mochi ice creams for dessert were confusing (1 banane, 2 mango, 3 strawberry) and did not go with the rest of the experience. it was difficult to hear the foods to explain, not because it was too loud, but they spoke very soft. I have always asked to repeat them, and only learned that the tuna trio was a comparison of the cuts because I asked. I don't think I'm going back. we spent $450 and didn't think it would suit the value of the offers"

"However, by 8:24 PM, I called Delivery.com again because I still hadn't received my food after 20 additional minutes. The representative contacted Masa again, and they told him it would take another 10 minutes and that someone from the restaurant would call me to apologize. At 8:33 PM, I received a call from a man at Masa, who explained that he wasn’t sure what had happened, but my food should be arriving soon. He expressed his sincere apologies for the hour and 45-minute wait and mentioned that he thought the driver was closer to picking up the food. When he called, I was relieved to hear that the driver was nearly at my house. He also promised a credit for the inconvenience, stating that they normally don’t have issues with Delivery.com, although they have faced problems with Grubhub. I appreciated the call, and soon after, my doorbell rang at 8:35 PM with the delivery. Now, on July 19, I have yet to receive the promised credit. I contacted the restaurant, and a woman who identified herself as the manager told me it wasn’t their fault the delivery took so long; she claimed it was the driver’s issue for being out driving around. I was instructed to reach out to Delivery.com for a credit. When I called Delivery.com, they could only offer a $35 credit on my next order, but then they reduced it to a mere $10, claiming it wasn’t the driver’s fault but rather the restaurant's. They contacted Masa for a larger refund, but all I could get was the $10. This situation was not my fault at all. I genuinely don’t think the driver was to blame either; if he had been driving around with my food for over an hour, it would have been cold. Fortunately, the food was hot, like it had just come straight from Masa. It’s disappointing for a restaurant to acknowledge an issue and then shift the blame elsewhere. I've ordered from this restaurant many times before, and it’s unfortunate that it has come to this. If they had simply stood by what their manager told me on the 14th, we wouldn’t have this problem. I hope they reach out to resolve this matter, as they have my contact information and should take responsibility for their mistakes."
