MezeDelicious twist on MediterraneanTasty food (small plates or large), they accomodate special requests like gf, hookah before 10pm (outside) etc if you call them ahead of time. Our waitress was the bomb, and the water guy came by a LOT to ensure we were hydrated. The cocktails are delicous and like none I've ever had before. We had the feta/red pepper puree dip, spanokopita, and meze kabob. Everything was beyond delicious. Will definitely be coming again.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMJust as advertised!!!The food is excellent:: tasty, plentiful, gourmet, representative of the Mediterranean, with a some Italian, Greek and Middle Eastern elements. I enjoy the ambiance of the place in a strategic location in downtown by the Gaslamp District and close to the Petco Park. Not too romantic, not too wild. Fits many expectations. Personally, I'd return to this place on a special occasion or when I feel more comfortable to spend a little more than the average restaurant. Your bill with taxes and tips included for two persons can easily exceed $50 dlls. with just a basic plate and some wine or beer, so it's not everyday dining for many.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is a great place in theThis is a great place in the middle of the Gaslamp offering a modern setting with good Mediterranean food and a friendly staff. Service was attentive and friendly (Server Lizzie) without being intrusive. Water glasses were filled routinely. Great for a light snack or a heavier fare.We consider this place a nice find with plans to return soon.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had another great mealWe had another great meal at Meze the other night. The flaming cheese appetizer is always impressive and delicious. and the assortment of beef, chicken and shrimp that we ordered was outstanding. The restaurant had a very festive and fun atmosphere (helped by an assortment of very original and tasty cocktails), and further enhanced by the terrific service we received from Dre and the rest of the very courteous and friendly wait staff. To top it off, there was a very talented and entertaining belly dancer who really got the restaurant going. Highly recommend Meze for lunch, brunch and dinner!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMMeze was great. DefinitelyMeze was great. Definitely get the pita with some dips (the spicy feta, hummus, and babaganoush were AMAZING). The only problem is you fill up on bread and by the time the rest of the meal comes around, you're already stuffed. We also got the melted cheese that comes to the table set on fire, so that was fun. Very trendy, great space. Hookah and belly dancers don't start until after 10pm so if you want food & a show, be sure to come later in the evening. Drinks were tasty but not strong at all. Definitely a fun night out.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a party of 8 and everyoneWe had a party of 8 and everyone loved their meals. Flavors are bright and vibrant.

The staff was knowledgeable and helpful and added to a very enjoyable dining experience. We went on a Friday night when there was a bellydancer performing for about 10 minutes which was fun and difference but very loud to the point where you couldn't really talk to the person next to you, wish it was a little less loud and didn't last so long. But still really enjoyed the dining experience!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good ambience! WaitersVery good ambience! Waiters were very polite, good was very good and to top it all the belley dancer made a special appearance...3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMTravelzoo findWent with a Travelzoo voucher; usually don't expect exceptional service using a coupon. HOWEVER, everything was done and served in a manner that was beyond expectations. Drinks were refreshing. Appetizers were tasty; try the flaming cheese!!! Dinner was so good, we didn't leave a morsel on the plate.12/9/2012 12:00:00 AM
