   The food portions were very small. Flavors were just okay. Some things were better than others.

   Our food was excellent with the exception of the Olive Oil cake. I would not recommend it. It’s a dense cake, but grainy and dry. Oh well. We especially loved the Brussels sprouts and kebab.

   We are a regular customer but for the last few months the time to serve food has been increasing. Today it was so bad that my kids were crying with hunger. We were caught in two minds to pay and leave without eating. We ordered food at 12:08 and the first of the two dishes (chicken finger and chicken kebab) came by 12:59. The chicken kebab was replaced with shredded chicken and no kebab because they ran out of chicken kebab. I am surprised it was on the menu when they ran out for an order at 12:08pm. And they didn’t even let us know. Overall it was an experience that will force us never to come back ever again and we hope this review helps others choose restaurants that invest more in their staff

   We were there on a Saturday evening first date. The food was amazing and the staff went out of their way to make our evening memorable.

   The food was excellent! Very nicely presented. Lamb appetizer was not crispy (which turned out to be a good thing because it was moist and delicious.) Labneh was extraordinary! Ordered a second helping. Brussels sprouts, halibut and cocktails were also great. (Noteworthy that the decaf coffee was also surprisingly tasty.) Our waiter, Marco, was a joy!! Personable, sense of humor, worked with requests/comments to make sure we had what we needed, complemented good food choicds and made suggestions where appropriate. Really fantastic! Only negatives were 1) multiple requests to eek out pita bread one at a time for our party of 5, and 2) an odd, slightly bleach/fishy smell of the restaurant. Highly recommend and we will return soon.

   Meso used to be our to go place and we loved the food and overall experience. The last three times we have been there you can clearly tell the quality of food and service has gone down drastically. They are understaffed and don’t have a way to manage the no of tables they are seating.

   The taste of food was okay, lacks distinct Mediterranean spices. The service was great though we got to move our reservation. Long wait for the food to arrive but understandable as it was NYE. They allow dogs in their outdoor seating! Love that live music during NYE!

    Today we came in at 3:45 and felt that we were in betweensuperb. For the staff and kitchen. It took 25 mins to get our drinks and order in. Most of the food was amazing with the exception of the steak. We requested medium, but came cold and was rare. I'll take it as an off day as every other (10+ times) both the food and service was supurb.
