We went to Mas last night for perhaps the fiftieth time and we will never return because of the worst restaurant manager I have ever seen. We waited for over 45 minutes to get some mussels and some sautéed turnips. Our waitress was great and kept us informed since they were really busy and the kitchen was backed up. However,... more

Mas is one of my top choices to eat in Charlottesville. The food is consistently good. Only one time did I order the foie gras and did not like it. The waitress took it back and it was taken off the bill without a problem. Sometimes lines form to wait for a table. Get comfortable. If you do not like... more

While Mas has a nice vibe and very good food, especially for Charlottesville, the service is not only poor, but absolutely rude. On the most recent Friday night, my group arrived, put our name on the list, and found a temporary seat near the bar. We did not have a single waiter or waitress come to us for 39 minutes,... more

Mas is packed after 7 pm (especially outside), so get there as soon as you can. If you can start with a drink or if your appetite is ready, Mas is worth going the early bird route. The best tapas I've had in years, they easily accommodated nine of us at a nice big table and delighted us with a... more

MAS serves food that is light years ahead of any of the other restaurants in Cville. It is excellent food in its simplest form. Check it out for yourself. The crowds are proof that they know what they are doing. As for poor service, never have we had to wait excessively for our food. Everything is cooked to order and... more

Went on a Thursday night, which may be the reason we didn't encounter the crowds or wait for a table. Not being familiar with "Spanish Tapas", we really didn't know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. Food was excellent. Waitress was very helpful in explaining the menu and dishes. We ordered 6 different tapas - for the two of... more

Earlier this evening we had a terrible experience at Mas, where we were repeatedly passed over for seating despite being "first on the list." We were unaware of reports of "seating favoritism" at Mas until we mentioned our very negative experience later in the evening at another dining establishment. I've now googled Mas and found a fascinating tale of combative... more

Service at this restaurant is just about the worst I have ever seen. Staff and ownership are all self-important and couldn't give a hoot about the customer. For example, In our case we ordered Carne Asada for 2 (a larger portion served on 1 plate). When it arrived one steak was prepared medium and the other was RAW. We asked... more
