RESTAURANT INFOContinuing the tradition that has made Chef Masa's New York restaurant legendary, ARIA o¼ers a dining space that is unique in ambiance, service and cuisine. The 156-seat barMASA, located in a casual, airy space beneath a soaring vaulted ceiling, invites guests to sample their choice of Chef Masa's modern Japanese food. The interior’s use of natural elements within the high-arching, voluminous space creates an e¼ect both intimate and serene, aptly reflecting the purity of Masa’s cuisine.
barMASA at ARIA continues the personal quest that Chef Masa practices to perfection—carrying simplicity to its next level of purity. Clean, simple and uncomplicated is the way he characterizes his food, prepared with a skill that allows the inherent flavor of each ingredient to emerge undisguised. Essential to this process are freshness and seasonality. Guests dining in barMASA’s convivial expanse accept a diÅcult freedom, selecting their own dishes from the à la carte menu. A small selection of hand-picked sake and wine, the best from around the world, emphasizes varieties most suited to the strong umami properties inherent to Japanese cuisine. The décor embraces an uncluttered appreciation for the rawness of materials. And beckoning guests from ARIA’s main entrance hall, a commanding set of 15-foot doors of teak and copper creates a shrine-like entrance.
