Mass St. Fish House & Raw Bar

Ribeye was very fatty. Potatoes very greasy. Everything else was delicious. I do miss the old shrimp bucatini with the mini orange colored crunchy things in it. This made the dish for me.

It was extremely hot in the restaurant, to the point we really couldn't enjoy our meal. We were in the lower level, so not sure if they have any Air, but they need to do something to make it tolerable

We went there with another couple and the oysters were fantastic.They ranked right up there with the fresh ones I used to harvest myself. All of our dishes were perfectly prepared and the seafood was so fresh. I forgot to order my salad with dressing on the side but our server was so nice and replaced it without any fuss. It was really noisy but it was too hot to sit outside. All in all, an incredible experience.

Great food, service, ambiance and location. The nachos appetizer and scallop dish were excellent. The price was a little bit pricey but well worth based on the quality of the food and service.

Come here often and the service, atmosphere and food are always excellent. Highly recommend this downtown staple!

This was the first time I ate there so didn't know what to expect. It was a surprise for my anniversary and the food was amazing! Especially the oysters. The scallops however weren't cooked right. I wish I would've known how loud it was so next time I'll reserve a table in the basement which shows the beauty of this old building. Overall the food and drinks are excellent and I'll be back!

Too loud to have a conversation without yelling. Service what you expect in a bar like atmosphere; slow. If the weather is at all amenable, sit outside for a totally different experience. The food is good.

Great food and great service! We enjoy that the menu always has our tried and true favorites as well as seasonal items. We tried the soft sell crab and it really was exceptional.

Food is great. Atmosphere is always very noisy due to poor acoustics and little sound absorbing materials.

Always amazing service, food, and drinks! Food always cooked perfectly and full of flavor.

Fantastic spot for fresh fish and high quality cocktails in Lawrence. Ambience and service were excellent too.

Mass Street Fish House does have excellent food, but unfortunately the food is over dressed with lots of extra when there is not need. Such as I had the black cod otherwise know as Butter fish. Was pan fried instead of say like in Japanese style slow moist roast with miso sauce that allows the fish to be soft and melty. Whill Mass street fish was good it was a bit tough due to high heat preparation and had a crust on the outside beneth the fish was potatoes and mushrooms with a tasteless green sauce. None of that was really needed all wass needed was the simple Fish slow steamed to allow the fish to speak for itself with maybe a side of veggies or in Japanese style fresh daikon. My mother wanted scalops and while the scalps were good they were again over dressed up. There. was no need for the roasted cabbage and fennel sauce that actually coveered up the taste of the scallops. In addition her scallops were sered with hot red pepper fresh, and slice jalepeon what is the point of such heat. All she wanted was pan fried scallops bathed in a butter sauces. The Ahi Nachos were good and fresh. The service staff was friendly food came in good time and was served at a good temp. The noise level was high with loud music which maybe fine for some diners but for my mother who has hearing issues it made it hard to talk to her and her hearing aide the sounds just echoed. And the more people the louder the sound. The porportions were of the right size one was filled but not over stuffed. The price point for good fresh fish in Lawerence Kansas such as for black cod was at a good price point just did not have to have so much business going on and needed a more deft hand to ensure that it lived up to its name of being butter fish. It was just to firm. And the green sauce had no tast and I didn't understand the need for potatos.

This was our 54th anniversary and we couldn't have celebrated anywhere better. The service was excellent. We had cocktails, then wine, then digestifs. Everything was great. The good, as always, was terrific. I will mention that the paella was extraordinary. I had to hold my wife back from licking the plate. Congratulations to Laura and her staff.

If you love liberal Lawrence this is the meeting place for the most sensitive and "In The Know" people in LLK.

We drive 45 minutes to go to this restaurant. The ahi tuna nachos are amazing. I dream about them! The food is always fresh and sitting outside is so very nice! Love this place.
