Service was bad. I didn’t have a server. I had multiple and they all seemed lost. Food was half warm (other half cold) so they took it back and brought it back overcooked (lobster) and missing truffle (truffle smash potatoes). View is nice but that’s all! The location is beautiful, it’s just disappointing the staff isn’t organized and the service is bad. They also need someone to manage food control. This place could be amazing and has the potential but they need to properly train people (kitchen + customer service).

Love the staff here! The views of the Hudson River are fantastic and Mezze has a cozy atmosphere indoors. Great on the terraces during warm weather. The food is great but overpriced. Still worth a visit. Brunch too!
