Masa's, one of San Francisco's leading fine-dining establishments, is proud to announce the approval of legendary food critic, Michael Bauer, who stated Gregory Short at Masa's is one of the most talented chefs in the city and this seafood presentation is only one example. Each of the items - lobster, calamari, uni are perfectly cooked and accented with daikon, black sesame, aji Amarillo (chiles) and seaweed. It's part of the $98 four-course menu, in his recent article in Inside Scoop for the San Francisco Chronicle.
Executive Chef Gregory Short has preserved the culinary tradition of Masa's legendary founder Masataki Kobayashi for the past seven years with his inspired, seasonal four- and seven-course degustation menus highlighting the best available ingredients. "Masa's has been and will continue to be a canvas for many talented chefs. The culinary standards expected of this establishment endure to sustain its success. I am proud to be a component of a long standing tradition," said Executive Chef Gregory Short.
Chef Short's dishes paired with an extensive wine list of 800 selections presided over by Master Sommelier Alan Murray are a testament to the expertise and passion that have made it a fine-dining destination.
