Mason

so so sad it’s gone!
showed up this wknd for brunch, ready to order the chips + dip and gnocchi carbanara but what did we find upon our arrival?! no patrons and workers dismantling what was mason. i think we stood in the doorway for about 2 mins in shock, knowing what had happened but in disbelief.
this was a great place to go:
+ chef ryan scott, always so personable and not bad to look at ;-)
+ wines by the bottled tasted great and reasonably priced (all under $ 30)
+ prices were great, even with the amount of food and alcohol we ordered
+ good food selections, notables included:
++ the carbonara gnocchi
++ chips + dip
++ the mason
++ grilled flatbread
++ crispy brussels sprouts, a bit greasy (esp at the bottom) but it had great flavors
++ persimmon salad, this was yummy!
++ seared gnocchi
servers were always friendly.
the only improvement i would’ve suggested was the timing of the food. for two people we typically ordered 5 – 6 items, the timing was off and we’d get the food one after another, sometimes two at a time. with little to no room already for our 2 top (2 plates, 2 water glasses, 2 wine glasses, + any dishes), on average, we’d have 3 – 4 dishes at a time… which resulted in our food getting cold cause we couldn’t eat fast enough and the server giving us the table next to as, if available.
i will miss you ryan scott! i know i could potentially see you at market + rye, but i was never lucky enough to see you until mason

This has become my favorite City spot and it’s a hidden gem in DeHaro. You can’t go wrong with any small plate that you select — the devil eggs, avocado toast, salt & pepper cauliflower, brussel sprouts, grilled artichoke… all great, full of flavour and memorable. The ambiance and service is warm and inviting. I changed my review from four to five stars for consistency and service. The pizzas are amazing — especially the proscuitto and cheeses are top quality… fresh and melts in your mouth!
Last night — I was thrilled that were treated to Chef Ryan Scott cooking our NYE meal and we got to joke around with him —he made the night even more memorable! The wine prices are also great & allow you to order a bottle for the price of a couple glasses.

Oof — came for brunch but was dismayed by poor service: slow, not very friendly, and missed a few things in our order (i.e. I asked for coffee but never got any).
— Orange juice: NOT fresh squeezed… this tasted like it came from freezer concentrate. Might as well have given me tang…
— Coffee was MEH at best.
— Cappuccino my sister got had no froth at all… what?
— Open faced egg scramble with olive tapenade and ricotta: a bit too mushy overall. the olive tapenade didn’t stick out as anything good or memorable.
— Home made wheat toast: thick sliced fluffy square wheat toast, but I prefer dense, seedy, hearty, hearth-​baked bread.
Bad coffee and concentrate orange juice. Food was mediocre at best. Service was poor.

My wife, two friends, and I decided to go out for dinner last minute and we chose Mason not ever having heard about it. Mason doesn’t take reservations which was fine in our case given our last minute decision.
In short, it was fantastic. As luck would have it, we were seated right away even though just two of us showed up initially with the rest of our party en route. Already, I sensed that the service was going to be excellent.
We ordered a bottle of Pinot as we waited for the remaining guests. The wine pricing was very reasonable for an SF restaurant, and I later read that they aim for sub $ 30 bottles — Awesome!
The vibe was casual — cool looking spot with a rustic feel with lots of wooden accents.
The food was TASTE. Our group was pretty unanimous in our opinion of the place being bomb. We split seven dishes: persimmon salad, bacon wrapped dates, crispy cauliflower, seared gnochhi, lamb meatballs, mac & cheese spring rolls, and avocado toast (see photos). All of these items tasted as good as they sound! It was really hard to pick a favorite. I’d probably pick the bacon wrapped dates (not because bacon is so hot right now) and the cauliflower.
We’re thrilled that our random selection worked out so well and definitely coming back here again. Very strongly considering checking out the other Ryan Scott restaurant and Mason neighbor: Market & Rye

Came here for Saturday Brunch,& the food was absolutely amazing!
Appetizer:
Mac&Cheese Fried Spring Roll — the mac&cheese were pretty basic, but the cholula sauce amped up the basic roll.
Burrata — my favorite appetizer! The combination of crunch from the fried bread, saltiness from the prosciutto, softness from the cheese, & sweetness to even it all out from the grilled apple complimented each other so well.
Main:
Spicy Philly Cheesesteak Pizza — C’mon, a cheesesteak in pizza form AND crispy thin crust; can’t go wrong w/​that. The shortribs were tender,& everything else w/​it was so delicious!
Dessert:
Vanilla Soft Serve w/​olive oil&sea salt — make room for dessert b/​c this is a MUST order!!! The yogurt was soo soft & flavorful. Also, the olive oil & salt toppings were jst perfect w/​it.
Overall, had a really great experience w/​some awesome food! I would def come back again.

First thing I noticed when we walked in were the cool light fixtures. The place was hardly recognizable being that the space was once a pizza/​pasta restaurant (the name escapes me at the moment) that we used to take out from time to time when we lived in soma.
Scanning the menu, I literally wanted to try everything; the avocado toast, the m&c spring rolls, the burrata, deviled eggs, persimmon salad, wild mushroom risotto, flatbread with ricotta and chili oil. But we are on vacation diet mode (we’re heading to Seoul and plan on gorging as soon as we exit the plane) and so we kept the ordering to a minimum.
We had:
— Burrata: a must-​order. Delicious, milky burrata cheese with deep fried bread, prosciutto with poached apple in cinnamon.
— M&C springrolls — exactly what it sounds like, deep fried and served with a cheese dipping sauce and chives. A decent snack but we regretted not trying something else from his menu as we’ve already tried it before from his 3 Sum Eats truck some years back.
— Cauliflower pizza — the crust was a boring to me however I found the pizza to be quite flavorful with a white garlic sauce, salty, crispy bacon for flavor. We only got to eating half and took the rest home.
Sadly, no room was left for dessert but I was extremely tempted to ordering the butterscotch pudding with rosemary.
Servers was on-​par, no complaints.
We look forward to going back and trying out their other items on the menu. I’m told the menu changes often so we will be back sooner rather than later.

It was a good and very filling brunch, albeit an expensive one. The rustic space with the flaming pizza oven, industrial lighting, open kitchen, and faux cowhide wallpaper was inviting, but almost exactly how I thought it would be.
We started off with the burrata app which came with fried bread balls, prosciutto, grilled stone fruit and topped with a sweet balsamic. I really felt like this was the best offering that we had; sweet, savory, nice textural contrast, and delicious.
We were promptly given our main dishes of «The Mason» and trout fritatta pretty soon after our appetizer, so our area at the counter was pretty packed. Luckily we were the only two occupying the area. The trout fritatta was quite tasty, even more so the next day, in fact, as we packed part of it to-​go. The Mason featured braised short ribs on a thick piece of toast topped with two very runny sunny side eggs and country potatoes on the side. I felt the trout fritatta was the better of the two with The Mason being slightly underseasoned.
Still missing Chef Scott’s cornflake-​crusted fried chicken sandwich from 3-​Sum Eats.

Deviled eggs were really salty. Avocado toast was ok but a little salty too. The short braised beef was really dry and not tasty at all. The lamb meatballs were good but the portion was meager. The burrata was ok but the presentation was really unthoughtful — on a big plate was a small piece of burrata with some greens, prosciutto, undercooked grilled peaches and random fried sweet bread balls on top of balsamic vinegar.
The service on the other hand was excellent and very attentive. They were not busy on a Friday night. If you can’t finish your wine, they package it to go and it’s priced so you’ll end up buying a bottle between 2 – 3 people anyway. Price was about $ 120 for 3 people including a bottle of wine and tip. I probably would not come back.

This place was a mess for me EXCEPT for service.
The ambiance is casual and comfortable. No reservations, but we went in at 8pm and we were able to be seated right away and the servers were very attentive.
First, I tasted two of the reds because they had run out of one of them — both were not impressive so we moved onto ordering a mediocre Rose which was better (our server was kind and very attentive to make sure we were tasting the wine and getting what we need, very sweet).
One suggestion I have for the restaurant server or owner — one of our main hosts were a bit much– he was very kind and friendly but he photobombed our picture. really? It’s not pleasant when you’re there to catch up with good friends and take a nice picture at this new restaurant to post pics —
Then the dishes — There was NO quality control here. The deviled eggs were too salty– I’m not exaggerating — the whole table came to an agreement that the chef has misplaced the lid off the salt. I RARELY have such an experience in a SF restaurant. What happened?
Truly mediocre and unimpressive deconstructed burrata, uninteresting lamb meatballs, A-​OK chicken (though the yogurt sauce was very interesting the the skin was fried very well) and to finish off — the driest braised beef I’ve ever tasted in SF including the soft serve that McDonald’s beat.
I would not come here again and give it another chance.

Service was friendly. Price was right ($ 38/​person after tip for 8 dishes, 2 desserts, and a bottle of wine). Food bordered average and below average.
My friend had been here when they first opened and raved how good the food was. To celebrate our birthdays, she thought Mason would be a good choice. Our party of four dined here last night and there was so much disappointment. She said everything was so much better the first time around.
Must order dishes:
*Ryan’s Deviled Eggs (6 pieces) — Delicious. The deviled portion was creamy and topped with paprika and a piece of crispy bacon.
*Persimmon Salad — Refreshing. The salad contained greens, avocado slices, cucumber, pomegranate seeds, and slices of sweet persimmon. I only wish that there were more slices of persimmon.
*Burrata — Delicious. The burrata was creamy and the prosciutto sliced thin and slightly salty. The highlight of the dish was the balls of fried bread.
Other dishes:
*Wild Mushroom Farro Risotto — The risotto had plenty of slices of mushrooms but the risotto was watery and lacked any kind of creaminess I’m use to.
*Chicken Wings — The wings were coated in what tasted like Shake n Bake and placed on top of a bed of lemon yogurt.
*Spicy Tomato Stewed Lamb Meatballs — The whole dish looked like a mess. The salsa verde tomato sauce lacked any kind of spiciness and the meatballs were dry.
Skip the pizza. My friend said she read in multiple reviews that the pizza isn’t good, but we decided to try them anyways. The Maui Me was soggy, the ham was dry and stringy, and it just wasn’t tasty. The Margherita pizza looked and tasted like a regular cheese pizza from Chuck E Cheese.
End the meal with one of their soft serve desserts. I went with the Affogato which was a vanilla soft serve served with a shot of espresso on the side. Pour the espresso to over the soft serve for a perfect after dinner dessert. My only complaint was that there was a bunch of ice in my soft serve.
WHAT TO KNOW:
*Tapas style — dishes are meant to be shared. We only had pizza leftover when we ordered 2 dishes per person.
*No wait at 7pm on a Friday
*They do not take reservations. First come, first serve
*Indoor and outdoor seating
*Street parking which was easy to find on a Friday night
*They don’t mark up the price of their wines so they’re all $ 30 or less

My bestie and I came here for Sunday brunch. He arrived earlier than I did and grabbed a table outside. But then realizing that the sun was directly above us, we asked if we could move inside. The bus boy said sure and we grabbed a seat at the bar. This is where it got confusing.
No one seemed to acknowledge that we were at the bar. We had to flag the waitress to ask for menus. I guess they were just as disorganized as confused as we were.
We eventually were able to order our food after waiting a bit longer for the waitress to come back to take it. We ordered the deviled eggs, the ham pizza with eggs, and and egg dish that I don’t remember. That being, the first two were the better ones.
The deviled eggs were creamy and not bland in taste. The pizza was think crust and crunchy. The eggs on the pizza actually really made the pizza, as it just gave it the needed boost of flavor.
I good brunch place to revisit and hopefully it will not be as confusing as my first visit.

The experience at Mason started out great and just went slowly downhill.
We were greeted amiably and seated in the warm open dining room. We started with a few innocent questions like which of two appetizers were better in the waiter’s opinion. He seemed almost startled by the question and said «They’re totally two different dishes.» Er, yeah. Noticed that. Maybe one is still better tasting than the other?
We started with the persimmon salad and the flatbread with ricotta & chili sauce. The salad was a fail; all of the ingredients were overwhelmed and left tasting flavorless by this heavy dressing. I didn’t even know that was possible with a salad. The flatbread was good though, the creamy whipped ricotta and chili sauce complemented one another well.
We also shared the seared gnocchi which was a bit rich but still had some nice subtle flavors at work. The minis (sliders) were just terrible though, like grocery store bad in terms of quality.
Thus place still might have earned 3 stars for the food overall but because the service was so bad, it can only muster 2. They need to up their game or try to just get by because they are the only action on that odd corner/​location. Strong pass.

Food was a-​ok for the price, as was the taste and service. We ordered the following:
Mushroom risotto — 4 stars
Chicken wings, lemon aioli — 3.5 stars
Margherita pizza — 3 star
Firsty came the risotto which had a nice complex medley of flavors. Secondi were the wings. The wings had a nice crunch and the sauce was smooth, but someone (s) said san tung wings in their review which we expected, these were diff. The margherita had an interesting twist of smoked mozzy, and a generous amount of cheese, but it tasted a bit off.
We had ordered a couple beers that tasted totally diff than what we ordered. We brought it up with the server, he insisted it was what we ordered, but mmm we are both beer snobs and could TELL this was a belg vs a DIPA. Whateve, $ 50
For 3 items & two beers + $ 10 tip– $ 60 bro-​date

Really enjoyed our brunch here this morning. I had the open breakfast sandwich, and it was very unique and fantastic. The service was also suburb, the waiter even went next door for some low-​fat milk for our coffee.
Portions are large and every morsel is worth it.

Cute spot in my ‘hood.
Was excited to try after reading the reviews.
Service:
Rough Start: Came by on a Sunday at 3:05pm. Were given brunch menus. When we were about to order, we were told the kitchen had already transitioned to dinner — we were bummed as we were hungry and looking forward to brunch. OK — no problem. The dinner menu was actually MORE appetizing and we were going to do 5 – 6 bites.
Round 2 — we were ordering off the dinner menu. and as we were about to put in our last bite order, we were told that the kitchen was NOT ready for dinner orders and between 3−4pm we could ONLY order pizza. WTF? Seriously? 2^nd curve ball. not pleased. We were now disgruntled and just put in a pizza order, at this point I was ready to leave.
THEN 15 – 20 minutes after putting in our pizza order, I finally saw the kitchen staff start making a pizza — WTF, we are the only indoor table right now. how did it take you 20 minutes to START making our pizza? By the time we were served the other 2 tables that came in 5 – 10 minutes after us also got their pizzas…
The only redeeming factors were that 1) staff caught on to the pizza delay mistake (after 2 menu mistakes already) and came by with an olive app for us to nibble on. Nice touch. didn’t make up for it but helped. 2) Shortly after (he must have really felt bad) they came over to offer each of us a glass of wine on the house. Def helped…
So that brought us to 2 negatives and 2 positives. The review was back to 0. so we could really judge the food in our overall ratings on Unilocal.
Food:
We got the Maui pizza which was good. By the time we finished it was 4:05pm so I asked if we could order the avocado toast — they confirmed it should be possible.
Overall the service was pretty push and pull. but I will say that I will likely be back to try the dinner menu bites as there were quite a few dishes that sounded delicious, and this place is literally down the street.
LESSON TO BE LEARNED: THEY ONLY SERVE PIZZA BETWEEN 3−4PM SO DO NOT COME EXPECTING TO EAT ANYTHING BUT PIZZA DURING THAT HOUR. DINNER MENU SOUNDS MUCH BETTER THAN BRUNCH MENU.
Also, after trying both Mason and Market & Rye back to back in the past week or so, Ryan Scott definitely needs to step it up in the service department. Both were disappointing/​lacking… I think both places could be incredibly successful if he could spend more time focusing on improving this area.

How can you not be a sweet and sour + savory kind of person? It’s the bomb. Apparently I had never heard of Ryan Scott, but BG was only too happy to explain it all to me. It only opened about a month ago, and it is one of the latest Portrero Hill additions. Carrots on a bed of carrots purée and charred broccoli on a bed of broccoli purée, I am suspicious. Is Ryan Scott a new father? Please someone tell me that he is, because otherwise this is total genius. A winner on all fronts. I love pureed veggies, and nothing like a dish that highlights carrots two ways. Baby food way and gourmet way. Baby food way totally rocked in this case. Neighbor was having an avocado toast, completely decadent but it was not my thing for the night. Chicken wings seemed really cool, and it was, as it turned out. Short ribs was the last thing to order and it was just the right amount of protein. Food was not pricy, surprisingly so that you wonder if they underpriced everything accidentally. A huge selection of wine but I am in training and cannot drink much wine, only water.
People were having pizza. We ordered healthier alternatives. Had not seen BG for a while, and I know him well enough to know that if he does not eat he gets cranky. I let him eat and then caught up with him on what was new and where he was headed. Boston then Switzerland. Of course he was.
We concluded that the food was excellent but fairly heavy for small bites, and it would be great to come to indulge once in a while but it would probably not good for your waistline if you come to eat often.
Over baby carrots and broccoli, or perhaps enough time had elapsed, any differences of opinion, prejudice and discontentment melted away as well. I saw BG like how I saw him the first time, helpful, kind and genuine. I thanked him for helping a girlfriend of mine out recently with her career and resume. He said no sweat. He did it for me, I knew that, he did not need take his precious time to help a stranger when he’s running a company as a CEO, but he did it anyhow, it was because we were friends.
It was 21:00 on Saturday. The city has been emptied out because every young person had taken off for Burning Man. We got up to leave as we had places to be later that evening. Quite delightful add to the neighborhood. Next time, try the pizza.

Any restaurant that offers more than a handful of rosé options by the glass is more than OK by me! Add some deviled eggs and buratta cheese on your menu and the San Franciscans come in droves!
All American (new) jokes aside, my dinner at Mason was lovely. A wonderful addition to the Potrero lineup, which is looking better and better these days. Small, cozy, and great service make this a great date night or gal pal meetup spot.
Most people rave about the pizza but my friend and I ate our way through the appetizer menu. Plus a bottle of wine. I winced when the bill came at the end and we were both pleasantly surprised to see that it was less than $ 40 each without tax or tip. Not bad at all considering four dishes and wine!
Of all the new SF restaurants I’ve visited lately, Mason is my #1 crush. Perhaps I’m biased since I can walk there. Or maybe it’s the wine… Who cares? I’m declaring it to the public.

Fairly new restaurant. Opened for about 3 weeks.
The host was just chatting it up with everyone that was standing around waiting to get seated that I couldn’t even tell he was the host.
He didn’t approach us until maybe 7 minutes of standing around. We asked him how long the wait would be for 2 and he said, «let me get organized».
After that we got seated pretty much right away but it wasn’t inside nor in the outside blocked-​off patio area. It was actually on the outskirts of that patio area. They have 3 2-​tops there.
The burrata with stone fruit, prosciutto, and fried bread was good. The burrata wasn’t amazing but it was pretty creamy.
The avocado toast with brie, confit garlic, sea salt was the least favorite dish. It was very zesty which I am not a fan of. Also the cheese was too much. There was a huge hard slab of it on top of the bread.
The Margherita pizza was pretty good. I liked the thin crispy and chewy crust.
The chicken wings were bland. I did not taste any mint, cilantro, caramel, or burnt lime. It comes with a sweet dipping sauce so maybe the ingredients were listed for that.
The crispy brussel sprouts were good.

I have been dying to try Mason because (1) I love deviled eggs, and (2) I love deviled eggs. Bacon on deviled eggs? Yes please. Honestly, I don’t know that much about chefs etc., but my bf likes Ryan Scott, and he’s also a fan of Market & Rye, so we both were stoked to check Mason out.
It was early Saturday night and Mason was pretty crowded, as is everywhere in SF early Saturday night. The very friendly hostess was able to seat us right away inside or outside. We opted to sit outside, even though it was a little chilly, because the outside patio is pretty cool. It’s hard to explain, and you’ll probably want to check it out for yourself, but it’s a strange little area of picnic tables partitioned off from the city sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Notably, and before I forget, Mason is right next door to Market & Rye.
For drinks, we ordered Prosecco (me) and a pilsner (him). We ordered the deviled eggs (surprise!), the gnocchi, and the burrata-​all to share. There were a few problems with execution, but our server, who was a pretty good dude, said that they are trying to work them out since the restaurant is only 3 weeks old. That’s fair. They brought the wrong beer out, but promptly corrected the mistake. We never received the burrata, but they apologized profusely and took the drinks and burrata off of the bill. They took care of everything quickly too. I was just mainly disappointed that we didn’t get to taste the burrata — I bet they do it well at Mason, and I cannot get enough of that stuff.
But aside from those problems, I have to say that the food was kind of outstanding. The gnocchi? Oh my god. They were served in a white sauce with pancetta and corn. The gnocchi were cooked perfectly — and browned nicely on one side. They were tender and delicious — I think I could comfortably eat those everyday. The deviled eggs did not disappoint either. They were tangy and savory — the bacon was a really nice touch, as was the finish of paprika.
Mason is definitely worth checking out — maybe try a weeknight when it’s not so busy. I’m excited to try it again soon. The food is good, the service is prompt, and deviled eggs. With bacon.

Mr. NSS: «You ok? You look like you’re about to sh*tbricks.»
Me *whispers*: «Shhhh, Ryan Scott is right there.»
Mr. NSS: «Ummm ok, who?»
Me: «Who…Only the hottest celebrity chef, that’s who!»
Mr. NSS: «You’re tripping!»
Me: «I’m tripping?! What straight guy religiously watches „Keeping up with the Kardashians“ and wishes he was ‘Lord Yeesus’ so he can tap that a$$?»
Mr. NSS: «Shhhh, NO more wine for you!!!»
Mr. NSS and may not see eye-​to-​eye on our celebrity crushes but we can both agree that Celebrity Chef Ryan Scott’s new restaurant, Mason serves up some delicious eats.
Grand opening on Monday, ⁷⁄₂₈ Mason opened next door to Market & Rye. The New American pub menu consists of small plates and pizza with everything less than $ 18. Most wines by the bottle are under $ 30; a scotch over their retail price online. Dinner service starts at 4 pm and brunch service starts this weekend at 10:30 am.
Since it’s small plates, 2 – 3 dishes were recommended per a person. We ordered the following:
*Burrata w/​stone fruit, prosciutto & fried bread ($ 13):
*Deviled eggs w/​bacon, chives & Hungarian paprika ($ 6):
*Grilled Artichoke w/​remoulade ($ 9):
*Chicken Wings w/​mint, cilantro, caramel & brunt lime ($ 9):
*Braised Short Ribs w/​potato purée, pickled tomatoes & horseradish ($ 15):
*Vanilla Soft Serve w/​fraintoia olive oil & maldon sea salt ($ 9):
*Ryan’s Butterscotch Pudding w/​whipped cream & rosemary shortbread cookie ($ 9):
I’ve been following Chef Ryan since Top Chef then to his first independent stint at 3-​Sum Eats food truck so I’m a huge fan. Mason’s well-​executed, refined (yet casual) and creative menu item shows that Chef Ryan is much more than a pretty face. And I’m not just saying that just because I have a crush on him; I do rate accordingly based on my experience: I gave 3-​Sum Eats 5 stars, Brunch Drunk Love @ Bruno’s 4 Stars, and Market & Rye 3 Stars. I think our disappointing experience at Market & Rye was because Chef Ryan wasn’t in the kitchen.
Sorry Statebird, Mason’s burrata has yours beat! Loved the deliciously creamy burrata against the salty prosciutto and the warm crunchy fried bread. Get this!
The deviled eggs were solid; creamy with a tinge of tangy and crunch from the bacon.
To add some fiber in the mix, the grilled artichokes made for a great side. It was tender, smoky, and simply wonderful with that creamy and spicy remoulade.
Oh and them wings! The moist and meaty mandingo sized wings had a perfectly crunchy batter that was lacquered in savory sweet caramel sauce. I hit it with a squeeze of the burnt lime and it made my taste buds twerk. Get this too!
Comfort in a bowl, the short ribs were incredibly tender and went nicely with the velvety smooth potato purée. Didn’t taste much horseradish but the pickled tomatoes nicely cut through the richness.
We usually share dessert but couldn’t decide on one so we ordered both the vanilla soft serve and the butterscotch pudding. I’m a whore for salty and sweet so I enjoyed the creamy soft serve with the fragrant, subtly sweet olive oil and the bust of salt from the sea salt. The butterscotch pudding was full of nostalgic deliciousness. It was rich and creamy without being overly sweet. The shortbread cookie gave it a nice crunchy textural contrast. My minor gripe about the desserts were that I think they were overpriced by $ 1 – 2.
Service started out slow at first but ramped up more quickly as more staff arrived. Dishes came out very timely and I was happy to see Chef Ryan in the kitchen. He chatted with most of his customers and personally delivered one of our dishes. He asked if we were on a date and I, of course was at a loss for words and gushed like a crazy teen fanatic: «YOU’RE MY BIGGEST CELEBRITY CHEF CRUSH!» Mr. NSS rolled his eyes at me. Chef Ryan was nice enough to give me a hug and of course, I looked like that emoji heart eyes times 10. Mr. NSS rolled his eyes at me again.
Anywhooo, Mason took over the old Pizza Nostra and Kitchen Mojo space and has transformed it into a western chic vice with faux cow hide walls and wooden furnishings. There’s about 8 two-​tops, 2 large booths, and counter seats overlooking the open kitchen:
.
There’s a shared private lot but it’s always full but we were easily able to find non-​metered parking across the street.
As predicted, we got to into «disagreement» after dinner.
Mr. NSS: «How come you never look at me like that?»
Me: «I’m not the one sleeping with Kim K’s Playboy spread that’s falling apart by the seams, and kept together by duct tape.»
Mr. NSS: «You have chicken wing sauce on your face, let me help you…»
Me: «Thanks, they were hella bomb weren’t they?»
Mr. NSS: «They were! When are we coming back for more?»
Talk about Chef Ryan’s awesome food bringing couples together…
