While visiting friends in the area, came here for dinner as this is their go-to local dining spot. Decided to enjoy dinner on their patio. Patio had cute ambiance with umbrellas, greenery, and string lights. It was a great location to watch all the neighborhood activity go by.
We started off with wine and cocktails. I ordered the mason lemonade (vodka, lemon, simple, rhubarb bitters, strawberry). Was presently surprised that it was not too sweet and a little tart. It was very refreshing on a summer night.
For an Appetizer we ordered the CHILI FIRE SHRIMP (crispy shrimp, sweet chili sauce, scallions). The shrimp were nice and large and the sauce tasty. As an appetizer felt it was a little small for sharing with four people and everyone to feel they got their fill.
I love me some fried chicken, Mac and cheese, and Brussel sprouts when it's done right, so I was of course drawn to the MASON FRIED CHICKEN (mac & cheese, fried brussels sprouts, house hot sauce) for my main. The Mason Social did not let me down. All of the components were delicious and plentiful. The chicken was moist and the skin crispy. The Mac was cheesy and the Brussels well executed. I liked the addition of hot sauce for extra kick. I ate the whole thing as it was so good, worth being overly full.
Unfortunately my husband was let down by his original order. He got a fish dish, and when it arrived to the table the fish portion was surprisingly small and therefore terribly overcooked. We decided we had to actually send it back. This is not something we typically do, and hated to do it, but had to. Waiter was very apologetic and understanding about it and got my husband's reorder of something else made and to him quite quickly. Totally get stuff happens, and appreciate the restaurant taking care of him without hassle. He switched to the PERUVIAN CHICKEN (fried yuca, cucumber & tomato salad, creamy dijon, jalapeno-cilantro sauce) and it was delicious. The chicken was tasty, fried yuca crispy, and both were great vehicles to soak up all that yummy sauce.
We come to this area often to meet family and friends, look forward to coming back and trying other dishes-. Our friend kept raving about their burger. Maybe I will try that or order the fried chicken again!
