Diners rejoiced when Chef/Owner Brian Nasajon opened Mason Eatery {3470 North Miami Avenue, Midtown; 786.618.5150}, a unique take on the classic American diner, in June 2018. Now, less than six months after its debut, the team behind the late-night Midtown eatery is offering guests something new to get excited about: brand new menus and Boombox, a bar directed by Ben Potts, Nasajon’s partner at Beaker & Gray Group.
Opening in the former Bardot space next door, Boombox will offer creative, carefully-curated cocktails in a refined bar and lounge setting, complete with live music, solo acts, and even DJ sets by known and loved local artists. The cocktail menu will be an ode to the weird and wonderful ‘80s and ‘90s, including creatively-presented cocktails like The Longest Island Iced Tea and Lemon Drop the Mic, as well as select food items from the Mason Eatery menu.
And speaking of food, after a short closing, Mason Eatery will open tomorrow, Thursday, November 15, with new dinner and happy hour menus and updated brunch and lunch menus. Maintaining the diner’s reputation for deeply-rooted, classic American cooking, the approachable dinner menu will encourage sharing. Guests can expect American classics with a Brian Nasajon twist, like a Light section with new plates like Smoked Hamachi with coconut and candied grapefruit, Hammock Greens with black truffle and Parmesan, Salmon Crudo with horseradish and salmon roe, and Black Grouper with honeydew and charred avocado. In the Kinda Light section, find original Mason Eatery favorites like Bagel Bites with Nova lox and a garlic churro, and the popular Avocado Toast with crab, hollandaise, and chive. And throughout the menu, other new additions include: Pinchos with buffalo chicken and clover honey, Cheese Poppers with oaxaca, pineapple chili, and bacon, Charred Broccolini with Green Goddess and black garlic, Short Rib Wellington in a croissant with pickled mushrooms and chicken liver mousse, Pastrami on Rye with rye pasta and pastrami carbonara, Crispy Skin Duck with creamed collards and a waffle cone, Yucca Chips with mojo and cotija, Zoodles with garlic and avocado pesto, and Smashed Potatoes with a smoked jalapeño mayo. Fans would revolt if the Mason Burger, Oxtail Pot Pie, and Truffle Mac n’ Cheese were removed from the menu, so find those in the Hearty section.
If you’re there for lunch or brunch, try the new Pan con Lechon with chimichurri, romaine, and swiss, the Quinoa Bowl with a jalapeño vinaigrette, Honeydew Ceviche, and Lettuce Wraps with buffalo chicken thigh, crunchy garlic, and pickled onion. During happy hour—which runs Monday through Friday, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday through Thursday, from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.—try the Poached Mussels with lemongrass and bacon butter, Fried Chicken Sliders on an English muffin with garlic mayo, or the Fried Calamari with lemon and coriander. For a sweet ending, the dessert menu gets even sweeter with a new addition: Tiramisu with almond macaron, vanilla bean cream, and coffee spuma.
A new menu begs for an updated space, and Mason Eatery gave fans just that. With the reopening, guests will get to see the family-run establishment’s décor renovations, like cozy, communal banquettes, new lighting, a warmer color scheme, and a reimagined outdoor dining area.
Mason Eatery is open every day of the week, from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Beet Ravioli from Palat Miami

serves many
Ingredients
7 medium red beets
6 oz goat cheese
2 oz grated Parmigiano
Chives, chopped
Hazelnuts, toasted
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 egg yolks, whipped
Flour, for dusting
1 package pasta sheets
Method
Peel and roast beets. Chop them into various sizes. Put beets in a colander, with a bowl underneath to catch any excess liquid. Let the beets drain for about an hour in the refrigerator.
Put the drained beets, goat cheese, Parmigiano, salt, and cracked black pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season to your liking. Scrape the contents into a bowl. Using a spatula, fold in chives. Put the mixture in a disposable pastry bag.

Lay one pasta sheet on a floured surface. Brush lightly with egg yolk. Pipe a half-tablespoon of beet mixture on a pasta sheet, leaving three inches between each dollop of filling. Cover gently with another pasta sheet. Carefully press your fingers lightly around the dollop of beet mixture to allow the air to escape. Punch out the ravioli with a two-inch-round ring mold or cookie cutter. Flour a plate and put the ravioli on it. Freeze for about 45 minutes or until fully frozen. Cook ravioli in salted water, until done.
Chef Note: When frozen, ravioli (and other stuffed pastas) hold their shape better and cook more evenly. If not frozen, the moisture from the mixture will penetrate the pasta sheets on both sides, and they will break in the water.
To serve: Toss in butter and water. Spoon onto a dish. Garnish with hazelnuts, chives, and grated Parmigiano.

Palat Miami is located at 4702 NE 2 Avenue.
