Really loved our experience at Mr Mason!
Had dinner with a large group of mates yesterday and was very pleased with the way we were taken care of.
The food was absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful too. The staff were extremely patient with us and were very warm.
My only issue with Mr Mason was that the food took unacceptably long to be served.
Came for exress lunch at Mr Mason love the internal deco (would be lovely to sit beside the fire place during cold weather) :)
Pressure pork shoulder with apple puree & brussel sprouts - the pork was excellent, soft and tender full of favor 😍😍 apple puree was very smooth and not overly sweet which complement the pork very well. Brussel sprouts was gently caramelized with hint of bitterness.
Passion fruit parfait with banana bread crumbs - I can't complement or crisis this dessert... It's bit cold to have ice cream during this weather, would be better if it's on the menu for warmer weather.
Would definitely be back again to try other dishes😍😋
Fantastic dinner spot. On point French with a hint of Australian. Food was delicious and what we expected portion sizes. Good for groups or date nights. Dim lighting and upbeat music playing on a nice volume sets great atmosphere for dinner.
I always want to go to Mr Mason during the colder months. Love sitting near their open fire - even though it's not wood. The problem is, the dishes (taste) may not be that consistent. For example - Partner had a lamb once and raved and raved for the whole week. So we had to go back for it the week after. He was disappointed. Same dish. But not cooked as well. Dry / chewy in various area. I like my fire so we go to enjoy the ambience. But we would of gone more frequent if we could be more confident with the dishes consistency.
Also, they close pretty early, so it's not that suitable for late diners like us
Came for some drinks at the tail end of a friends lunch and ate their dessert the plum and cherry clafoutis which was deliciously French and at $10 was not only a steal from the friend that ordered it but also a bit of steal in general. We then had a few rounds of the White Mochtini which is their twist on an espresso martini. I really enjoyed the addition of the white chocolate liquor and it was much approved on the original for me (probably because I like chocolate more than coffee). The sleek decor and exposed brick gave it a nice ambiance too. Would certainly be interested in returning despite the fact that French food is not my cuisine of choice as both the service and atmosphere was lovely
Nice place, quiet, great deco and good service in the heart of the CBD. Food was good. Great for a few drinks after work and nice wine. Could come back
Duck is delicious, outstanding service. Not busy on the Wednesday night. Fireplace and a bar upstairs. Coming in on the little Collin st. chairs are not that comfy.
We had a French guest with us and thought that we would try out Mr Mason. I immediately liked the vibe of the place for dinner. Although busy we had a nice quiet table. Staff were lovely and very attentive. We thought the food was good and had chosen here as with burgers on the menu it accommodated for children where other French restaurants can be more difficult to find something they will eat.
The menu is not strictly nor traditionally French but was very tasty. The burgers were delicious but the pork sliders would be better if they were pulled pork. The lump of pork belly was too fatty.
Although the cassoulet was nice, it was deconstructed which is not what we were expecting so I was somewhat disappointed. Would I return? Probably not. It was tasty but not worth the trip to do again.
I went with my partner who recommended the place a while ago. We had matched wines with each course which were provided by their very knowledgeable staff. My favourite dishes were the steak tartare which was a classic done incredibly well and the salmon cured with laphroaig whiskey which gave it a lovely flavour. I can't usually drink the stuff on its own but loved the addition which gave it a smokey flavour. I would recommend giving this place a try. It was very pricey but the atmosphere is intimate and it's the perfect setting for a special occasion. We came mid week when the restaurant isn't incredibly busy.
We sat next to the fire and it wad great. I ordered the shallot tart which was divine. The cauliflower gratin in the sides wad mind blowingly good!
For dessert, I ordered the baba which was very good too.
Staff was great and very helpful.
This is an excellent restaurant as soon as you walk in you see a very clean and well maintained place very nice decorations and the lighting is good for having a romantic dinner or a lunch i enjoyed the food the fish was very tasty and very well complimented by the risotto and microherbs,the service is good very polite and helpful staff the wait was not long but the place was not full.
Very nice place. Was there late on Friday night, was quiet. Fireplace, great red wine by the glass collection. Duck is a must try. Steak tartar is amazing also
Love this place! Always good to come in and grab a quick lunch or relax with a glass of wine after work. It's unfortunate that the business has come to a close.

Had a very lovely dinner here. Although it is a bit hidden in the side of a building, the rustic, cozy atmosphere was very welcoming. There was even an authentic charcoal fireplace that made the area so warm and relaxing. It would be great even just to get a few drinks with friends after a busy day at work.
I must admit the portion sizes are a bit small for the prices however I believe it was fully worth it. The chef here clearly knows their stuff as all the meat we ordered were cooked and flavoured to perfection (steak with crispy outside and medium rare inside, lamb ribs that fell of the bone so easily, clams that had just the right firmness). Also some lovely surprises in terms of texture and flavour including a duck fat cream which was not greasy or fatty at all but quite light. I was surprised since it was so fluffy and light like a vanilla cream dessert! The desserts were also fantastic and all homemade with the caramels and chocolates lovingly made in house with butter to make a consistency that was not too dense or too light, but the perfect in between.
All in all, highly recommend if you want some actual professional cooking.
We had a voucher from Red Balloon as a gift. It was a french dinner for 2 with cheese and wine. It was really fantastic dinner with 4 service of different wines each. The entree was the most delicious experience, large varieties and quantities. the staff were nice and professional. I recommend to those looking for something different.
Went to a work function here yesterday and was impressed. The finger food was great especially the pork belly and the sliders. The staff were friendly and they proactively kept drinks topped up so there was no waiting around. The outdoor area is also good and a decent size for three location.
