A Look Inside Las Vegas’ Bar Masa | Haute Living Magazine

As part of Las Vegas’ CityCenter development, Aria Resort & Casino includes restaurant Bar Masa, the first Vegas outpost from New York’s Michelin three-star chef Masa Takayama. Here’s a look inside the newly opened restaurant with a glimpse of what future visitors can expect.

Bar Masa just opened in the new CityCenter development in Las Vegas. As the first outpost from New York’s Michelin three-star chef Masa Takayama, Bar Masa has a lot to live up to. But so far, it seems to be on course for being one of the ‘must-see’ posts in CityCenter.

Taking a slightly different approach to its menu options than its New York City counterpart, Las Vegas’ Bar Masa offers an a la carte menu, and enough space to comfortably seat 256 guests under its dramatic vaulted ceiling.

The space was designed by Richard Bloch Architect, who also takes credit for the New York locations. SO what really makes CityCenter’s Bar Masa stand out from the rest? For many the shining star of the locale is that within Bar Masa there is Shaboo, a beautiful 52-seat exclusive room which offers chef Takayama’s signature omaskase-style tasting menu. Best part is that you can come as many days out of the week that you want because the tasting menu changes every day, ensuring a diverse selection for diners.

An excellent restaurant to hang out!!

Ok...I know I am a foodie and have travelled quite a bit and been to lot many places but the one city which is always an extension of mine is undoubtedly New York. I am proud to wear my Nike NY cap and cheer my Basketball team without fail. I have been to almost all the food joints, restaurants, pubs and bars located in Manhattan and I must say they all are pretty good considering this age of twittering and Face book wherein if you fail once your name pops up on all the social networking websites with negative comments. This is a welcome change becoz ultimately we the customers become the king as shoddy service or bad quality food can easily land the owners into trouble.

But the one place which has succeeded in amazing me is the newly refurbished Restaurant named Point Break. Formerly named as Nation Restaurant & Bar, Point Break is a new Surf Bar located in the heart of mid-town Manhattan. Now I remember sometime back I had been to this place when it had the old look and feel and I thought ok..seems to be an average place..what's the big deal? But even during my last visit when it was still in its old shape it served me excellent food and the service was razor sharp. So last Saturday when one of my friend threw a party and told me the venue to be a swanky new outlet which he was speaking so highly about I thought ok..let's try this one too. When he told me about the address I wasn't sure it was the same place but when I reached there the whole look and feel from Outside was changed and once I entered in, the earlier known Nation was truly looking like a break from the past and hats off this guy, I don't remember the name of the owner, but he has rightly renamed it as Point Break!! It appeals to the newer generation guys like me. We had a great time there. The menu featured old classics and new additions. I loved the wheel o' shots which made me crazy!! I had the fish tacos which was delicious..yummeee and it has got plenty of room for parties, the DJ that they had was great, excellent sound system as well and the drinks were strong and I had a look at the menu and thought the prices were pretty good.

Guys on top of it the next day when I searched this place on the internet, this restaurant has a Face book page too wherein they post photos and updates of recent happenings/parties and upcoming events/parties/offers too. They tweet also which is really nice thinking by the owner.

Anyways not wanting to sound like a paid blogger I would say as a foodie this restaurant is a nice one and I would not hesitate to give my recommendation for it to my guests coming in from out of town. Go and try once and do not hesitate to leave a comment once you are there. I know I am only going to get thumbs up from you all!!!

Ciao…
