"During Restaurant Week, Mason Social offers a decent dining experience that, while satisfying on many fronts, leaves some room for improvement in terms of culinary zest. The dishes served are commendable, but one might find themselves wishing for a more robust burst of flavors to elevate the overall taste experience. An area that requires clear communication is the reservation process; patrons should be explicitly informed that their seating options include not only the main dining area but also tables within the bar space and the outdoor section of the establishment. This clarity would enhance the customer experience by setting the right expectations from the outset. On a positive note, the service at Mason Social is notably efficient, with staff members attending to diners promptly, ensuring that their needs are met without unnecessary delays. The ambiance of the restaurant contributes significantly to the dining experience, offering a pleasant atmosphere that complements the overall vibe of the establishment. The good ambiance, characterized by a well-thought-out decor and a comfortable setting, makes for an enjoyable visit. In summary, while there are areas ripe for enhancement, particularly in the flavor profile of the dishes and the clarity of reservation instructions, Mason Social stands out for its swift service and inviting atmosphere during Restaurant Week."

"I am speaking purely from pick up experience, not delivery, although it’s a beautiful, bright, spacious, and clean restaurant with dine-in options so I imagine that would be excellent as well. Every smoothie, sandwich, and bowl that I have tried from original grain has been absolutely amazing and SO fresh! I am now hooked! The sandwiches and bowls in particular are SO densely packed with high quality fresh ingredients, and SO many of them! Each bite is a burst of flavor in your mouth! They really pack so much into these sandwiches and bowls. They looked deceptively small to me but the bowls lasted me three meals and the sandwiches two meals (one half kept me full , especially after a free side of their warm amazing variety of soups I got as a free side for getting a smoothie and sandwich combo. Very highly recommend if you love very healthy and tasty takes on some classic favorites like BLT, kung pao (kung POW! chicken, Tex-mex, chicken bacon ranch, etc. You will come away feeling so much better without any gut or stomach problems and they taste even more delicious than their unhealthy traditional greasy origins. I am beyond shocked that they only have one location in Rochester and one in Syracuse. Original Grain should at the very least be a state- wide chain by now. Consider that the speed at which the friendly and helpful employees make the food is faster than most garbage fast food places, the prices are only slightly higher, and you’re giving your body love while satisfying food cravings instead of artificial trans fat filled garbage that just makes you feel yucky. Please check this place out!!! They are opened from 8 AM to 8 PM M-F and Saturday, with sandwiches and bowls available after 11 and they are sadly closed Sundays (would be a perfect Sunday brunch spot for dining in!"

"The place is nice. Food is fresh. The chicken however was terrible. Tasted like detergent was in it or some kind of cleaning product. Maybe the spices they used just gave me that taste. My friends tasted it and said it didn?t taste like any cleaningstuff. And it was super salty, almost inedible. They agreed on the part of the saltiness. Had to throw out allll the chicken.Went to an employee, told him I didn?t like the chicken and was throwing it out. I asked if I should give to him to throw outand he said ?the trash is over there.? I knew where the trash was. I only asked the dumb question to see what he would say, ifhe would offer to give me another protein to replace. He didn?t. Didn?t even apologize for me not liking it. Super poor customerservice in that regard. Paid 14 bucks or so. And I was really dissatisfied with that. Because I basically just paid for grains,greens, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and corn. But hey those things were decent and fresh at least and they did give alot, for me to eat twice. The dressing options were ok. They did let me try a couple so that I would make sure which one Iwanted. I wouldn?t go back. Unless I?m super lazy to cook or make my own bowl way better than them. And definitely can makebetter chicken. Will definitely only but the bowl without any protein. Not their strong suit. The egg looked good but anyone canmake an egg. Would give 1 star but gave 2 for the fresh ingredients and their cool designed, bright and spacious location."
