Restaurants near Ridgewood Park

This was our second time to dine at MEC; both times were excellent. The food is meant for sharing, so plates appear at the table when cooked, meaning that they aren't served together or in the order you expected. Our carrots (wonderful) were served well after other dishes had been consumed. This may be a turn-off for some. However, each plate was terrific, so the sequencing didn't matter to us. Also, the noise level is very high; probably not suitable for anyone with hearing difficulties or wanting an intimate conversation. On the other hand, it is obviously a "happening" place, so is fun if you don't mind a loud ambiance. My wife and I enjoy the diversity of plates at MEC, as well as the activity. Others may prefer more traditional servings and conversational environment.

The food is outstanding! However, It took at least a half hour after being seated before we were greeted at our table. It was VERY loud where we were sitting as there were two parties in the same small room that were making way too much noise. It was impossible to carry on a business conversation. That being said, the food made up for the slow service and loud tables.

The food and service were first rate. They have the best fried chicken. We love it and that’s what we always have.

Our server Kianna was absolutely amazing. She was so patient and attentive, and made my birthday feel so special. Thank you for all that you did!

We loved the food, the ambience, and our waitress Susie! The service was great, loved the ravioli and lasagna!
