The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the overall experience was delightful. However, the Carbonara was overpriced for the portion size.

Good time. Bespoke bar/restaurant. We sat at the bar and it has a lot of cachet. Appetizers were good. Main courses were ordinary… I enjoyed it, but I’m not sure I would go for more than a drink!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mason Steakhouse, and it was nothing short of exceptional! From start to finish, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and made the entire evening memorable. The appetizers were the highlight of our meal, and every bite was a masterpiece. The oysters were fresh and briny, the steak carpaccio was tender and flavorful, and the bone marrow was rich and indulgent. The shrimp cocktail and prawns were perfectly cooked, and the octopus was tender with just the right amount of char. Mason Steakhouse truly knows how to create an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you’re there for the food, the ambiance, or the top-notch service, this place will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend!
