"One of the best restaurant I went in my life. Everything was very delicate and well selected. You have a really nice view, a good service and a sommelier if you need help to choose your wine. Could not recommend more."

"Jhony was absolutely amazing, very attentive and helpful in getting our order. Food was great too, thank you so much!!!"

"Food was great, atmosphere was amazing but 5 stars solely because of our server Vinci, He was attentive and offered great recommendations as well as some insight on the surrounding area and displayed 5 star hospitality. He was always available for our requests and turned a simple dinner into a lasting experience. If possible, ask for Vinci!"

"The restaurant was excellent – great food, friendly service, and a lovely setting. We warmly recommend Vinci for his kindness, attentiveness, and welcoming smile"

"Masi is a Mediterranean / Japanese fusion restaurant inside the Hotel Nacional in Rio de Janeiro. The restaurant offers a magnificent view of a quieter part of the Rio de Janeiro beach and the concept for the decor is all about cherry blossoms. The restaurant is truly beautiful. We also received excellent customer service from all of the staff, including the bartender who gave us in-depth explanations regarding some of their cocktail offerings. The two cocktails we landed on were the “My/Snake” and the “Ushi/Ox.” My / Snake was sweet and even included a small chocolate piece to top it off. We loved the Ushi/Ox as well, because it was the perfect blend of slightly sweet and a bit of a spicy aftertaste. We loved our drinks so much that we ordered seconds! For appetizers, we ordered Caramelized Shrimp Popcorn and the two varieties of ceviche offered: Ceviche Masi and Pear and Mushroom Ceviche. Both were very fresh and very diverse. The latter, in particular, had a really unique flavor that we had never Experienced before (in the best way possible)! In terms of our main dishes, we opted for the Creamy Octopus Rice with Shrimp and Fettucine With King Crab and Shrimp. Both were creamy and delicious and had very generous portions of seafood. It was my wife’s birthday and she was offered a desert platter on the house which consisted of a delicate coconut panna cotta with fruit sauce. Everything was exquisite, service was excellent and prices were very reasonable!"

"I highly recommend Masi for an upscale dinner. Perched on the 30th floor of Hotel Nacional, Masi stuns with ocean and mountain views as soon as you enter. Even after sunset when the ocean view is dark, Rocinha twinkles in the distance. Portions are big. The Sesame Crusted tuna was a symphony of flavor, set on textured black rice and a unique mousseline. The Grilled Salmon, however, was dry and I wouldn’t order again. Dessert options are plentiful, but lacked the depth I saw in the entres. The Panna Cotta was too gelatinous and the Pavlova was nothing special. All in all, I would dine at Masi again!"
