    Wonderful meal! we had Wagyu steak for two and it was one of the best tasting steaks I’ve ever had in my life . The crab race appetizer was also absolutely delicious as was the chocolate tart for dessert. Service was outstanding. we would definitely go back !

    Our recent brunch experience at MAAS was an unfortunate disappointment from start to finish. At $145 per person, we were left feeling sick and bewildered by the poor service and lackluster food. We began with a radicchio and delicata squash salad that was bizarrely coated in what seemed like caramel butter—dense, greasy, and almost frozen in texture. The omelette was severely over salted. The “unlimited seafood station” was laughable. There were only two crudo options: hamachi and tuna. The portions were meager—just two small pieces of fish per serving—and the staff member serving it asked every time if “that was all” as if discouraging from having more. The “meat station” was similarly disappointing, with just three options. The salmon was a particular letdown—dry, overcooked, and swimming in its own fatty juices after sitting far too long under a heat lamp. A proper medium-rare was nowhere in sight. The desserts were equally uninspired. The upside-down pineapple cake was a disaster—a thin layer of pineapple over essentially raw, doughy batter. It wasn’t just disappointing—it was borderline inedible. And the crown jewel: Service It was nothing short of a nightmare. Our server barely spoke English and seemed entirely untrained. When we finished our first course, she brought out the second while our dirty plates were still on the table. With a straight face, she asked us, “Can you help me clear the table?” It was astonishing. I had to remind her that it’s not our job to clear the table. They failed to replace or refill cutlery between courses. Staff walked by with trays of silverware, yet never noticed that we needed fresh forks and knives. It was as if they weren’t seeing the tables at all. All that with just 4 tables being taken between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. The guys that opened MAAS had opened a wonderful Bresca in DC which we’re fans of. Not sure what happened here, just don’t ever go there for brunch.

    This was our third time here and the food was not up to par. The menu does change seasonally, but we were disappointed not to see some dishes that we really liked and were not impressed with the new selections. The food was mediocre at best and did not meet the high expectations we had or the very high prices they charge. Hopefully, they will get back to the level they were at their first year.

    The ambiance is beautiful, and the service is excellent—exactly what you’d expect from the Four Seasons. However, the menu falls short of expectations for a venue of this caliber and price point. At my table, the lamb was the standout dish, but other selections disappointed. The Black Cod was underwhelming, the “fried crab rice” was more like a mushy risotto, and the red prawns were so tiny and puzzling that it left us wondering what the chef's vision was. On a brighter note, the espresso martini and ice cream were delightful. Overall, while it’s a lovely spot for a cocktail and a scoop of gelato, I wouldn’t recommend it for a full meal. It simply doesn’t justify the time or expense.

    The yellowtail Crudo was very fishy and we returned it. The waiter checked in it ended up being amberjack so false advertisement.
