Mass St. Fish House & Raw Bar

Hadn’t been to this place in several years, but decided to have dinner there. We were very pleasantly surprised… The menu seems to have matured considerably since our last visit… We ate two different excellent pastas, not to mention raw oysters and the roasted chilies. Perhaps the only thing that wasn’t completely fascinating was the fish taco, but everything else was so good that I am happy to give this a rare five star rating.

From beginning to end it was an amazing experience. The ambience and aura about the place was a perfect 10 the staff also a perfect 10. Didn't eat a meal just grabbed an appetizer to go with the wine as it was girls night. I'd definitely say it's an adult atmosphere not so much for children. I definitely recommend.

I visited in the evening with a couple of friends. We shared the brussel sprouts, ruby red trout, and bread/butter. I had the bucatini with lamb ragu.(from the alternating “chefs” menu) Everything was well executed, and tasted phenomenal. There’s a cozy vibe, and excellent service from attentive, friendly, knowledgeable servers.

Definitely the value here is a great dining experience and exceptional sea food - it clearly justifies the expensive over other spots. Factors we consider when choosing where to dine for fresh fish include mercury levels and the water the fish is sourced from. Health choices seem to matter to the owners and buyers at Mass St. Fish House & Raw Bar in Lawrence, Kansas. Most importantly, the seafood was superb. Our waitress was very friendly, professional and helpful with making menu selections. He gave great wind recommendations, like the Mussels and Toast appetizer and the Low Tide Fish Platter, which was ample for the two of us. The Mussels and Toast was a stunning blend of white wine, fennel and tomato broth for the sauce. Our waiter also was very knowledgeable about the the restaurant, town and historic street; we really appreciated our conversation with him. It offers a wonderful dining experience as well for conversations. The background jazz music was not too loud nor too soft; and we loved the song selections. A total gem for exquisite, culinary-level seafood that's fresh, unique and prepared so well! The cocktails were equally fun. I ordered the “Cap and Gown”, a special since this is graduation time for many students. It was made from Aperol, Campo Viejo sparkling Rose, and their very own house-made Orange Oleo-Saccharum. It is one of the best drinks that I’ve ever order out. My dining partner took a sip and then ordered one, too. I highly recommend their happy hour specials and awesome outdoor patio seating. I don’t recall the name of our chocolate dessert – but it was just as tasty and unique. We had no problem finding parking and so enjoyed walking the street after dining. Next time we are traveling near Lawrence, Kansas we definitely plan to return! The service, ambiance, and price is well worth it!
