When a place is recommended so highly it makes me nervous. I needn’t have been, Mas blew my expectations out of the water!! It was like being at an extraordinary art gallery but getting to eat everything I admired. Joseph our sommelier took us on this brilliant, detailed and fascinating journey with a combo of sake and wine pairing. You could tell it was his passion and I’ve never experienced a pairing with food that was so exact. A few times during the meal I found myself counting how many courses we’d had slightly panicked realizing this experience had to come to an end. I can’t remember the last time I felt that way eating food. It was a 12 out of 10 night for us, thank you Joseph thank you chef and bravo Mas.

Wonderful meal in the small, private dining room. Went with the wine pairing as well. Expensive? Yes. Worth it as a special treat? Yes.

Had dinner here with my wife on one of our first road trips out of Portland. It’s one of those tasting menu spots where you don’t fully know what you’re eating until they explain it to you. But in a cool way. Everything tasted clean and surprising. Expensive, yes, but it felt worth it once.

The name is a problem. It is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been to, we were seated in a private room (library). The chef stop by several times to explain the dishes. Oops, I forgot to mention the delicious food. I can still taste the combination of lobster and fois grass.

There aren’t words for how moved I was after eating here. I’ve lived across the US and Japan and have eaten at outstanding restaurants, but this was by far the best food I have ever had. I came here for my birthday and it blew my mind. The seasonal local ingredients, the unique techniques, as well as the really interesting flavor and texture profiles were really out of this world. I also really enjoyed the sake pairings that came with each dish. This is somewhere I will always dream of coming back to.

Chef Dorchek first popped up on my radar in 2014/15 if I remember correctly. His food was different then and it’s different now. It challenges your mind, your tastebuds and your senses. We dined at his first pop up event, watched his first Culinary Competition in Ashland and then dined at his newly opened restaurant Mas as well as Nama. Over the years his food has been a delight to sample and tonight it was no different. Josh was away but we were treated to the same lavish tasting menu with his Chefs as if he were there himself. As each course was plated in front of us we were given detailed information on each dishes unusual ingredients as well as the journey each had in its place on that plate. Each ingredient enhancing the flavors of the dish. This is not the place to visit if you cannot adapt yourself to the menu without compromising the taste profile. However having said that - the Chef will adapt to your requirements (preferably with prior knowledge) to give you the best dining experience that he can - but as I said the “original ingredients tell the story”. Our evening was spent in the great company of likeminded hospitality folk - Chef Andy, Chef Jeffrey and Sommelier Joe Shaugnessey. Because we chose to sit at the counter we shared an intimate couple of hours with them talking about food, hospitality and of course Wine and Sake. These are the two pairing choices that are offered with your meal. Both very complimentary to the seafood, meat and dessert choices. Joe’s wine and sake knowledge make for great conversation. If you are “into” food like me then you will understand why this was one of the best “birthday” ideas that my husband has had.

Have been twice in the past year. Consistently amazing. Will take you on a tour of the area, the west coast, the ocean between here and Japan, the vineyards of France and Italy, the farms of the Pacific Northwest. An expensive meal, but worth it and I'll definitely be back for a third visit as soon as possible. The staff are attentive, considerate, professional, yet somehow also laid back and just....real. It's a Michelin star experience, with the unpretentiousness of Ashland, and it works.

Absolutely incredible experience from service, food, atmosphere and beyond. They went above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend a better restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious and the flavors were very inventive not to mention the attention to detail. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for an absolutely exceptional meal.
Amazing food, fantastic pairing, more than worth the price. Loved the interaction we got with the chefs by sitting at the chef's counter (highly recommend). We made a special trip to go here and I will gladly travel here again for this experience. Clearly on the shortlist for a Michelin star, if they ever come to Oregon.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. Impeccable presentation, flavors, wine, and service. Well worth the price!
