My wife & I went to Mas Farmhouse for dinner last night. Gents, if you live nearby or are planning to come here on vacation this place is among the best restaurants in the city.
The menu changes daily. They pride themselves on using locally-sourced ingredients; our waitress made sure to tell us "...the chef visits the local green market every day." The first page of the menu features a 3 course tasting meal (including dessert) for $66/person. But you're not limited to what's on that page. You can choose from anything on the menu. Or you can order traditionally.
Or you can do what we did, which is to tell them whatever you love/don't love/are allergic to/have dietary restrictions about and let the chef use those parameters to cook for you. They'll bring out 6 different courses (including dessert) and each one is a surprise, as well as a culinary & visual treat.
The service was exemplary. Unobtrusive yet well attended-to. The wine list is wonderful, too. My wife's not a big drinker so ordering a full bottle would be a waste. It was therefore a nice surprise to see a superb offering of different wines by the glass.
It's a low-key, casually elegant setting. Definitely romantic but not in an over-the-top way. It would also be a great place for, say, a couples dinner with some close friends.
I can't say enough good things about this place. Again, if you're looking for a special night out with a special friend (or even with a small group), this restaurant is a great option.
