Los propietarios Maguy y Gilbert LeCoze llegaron a Nueva York desde París en 1986 para establecer este elegante restaurante con el único propósito de cocinar y preparar platos de pescado. En ese momento, pocos podrían haber pronosticado su increíble éxito, pero desde entonces, el restaurante ha recibido las calificaciones más altas por críticos gastronómicos año tras año. Incluso cuando Gilbert murió y lo suplantó el chef Eric Ripert, el amor y la dedicación con la que cada plato fue preparado siguió siendo igual. Aunque es excesivamente caro, no hay nada que se le parezca a este moderno restaurante francés.
Masa, ubicado en el Time Warner Center en Columbus Circle es una experiencia gastronómica única. No hay ventanas. No hay menú. Se pide un cóctel especial elaborado con ingredientes de primera calidad, y luego el chef Masa Takayama, a sólo unos centímetros de distancia, va a trabajar en una comida de 3 horas de varios platos del sushi más delicioso. Pero el hecho de que Masa es uno de los pocos establecimientos microscópicos no franceses que recibió los codiciados honores de las cuatro estrellas del New York Times, es prueba de que estar a merced del chef sólo puede ser algo bueno. Entrar en el Bar Masa, y al lado también vale la pena.
