    We had a group of 11 girls dine at Mesu for my little sister`s bachelorette party. Our server, Glynn, was amazing and provided excellent service! We loved the energetic ambiance and great song choices to keep our partying vibe going. We also loved the food options and did not think they were overly priced. I highly suggest coming here is you are looking to celebrate a birthday or something else!

    We arrived for dinner at 6 on a weeknight. The place was not crowded when we arrived, but quickly filled by 7. We enjoyed a trio of tacos including Pico Shrimp, Waygu Philly Cheesesteak, and Smoked Chicken. All were delicious. We also tried the MESU sushi. It was tasty but took a long while (25-30 min) to be prepared and delivered to us. The hostess and server were cheerful and efficient with the server stopping by several times to check on us and update us about the sushi. We were there for Margarita Tuesday, however the drink was not good. We were extremely disappointed. Overall the experience was pleasant with great food, but disappointing drinks.

    Delicious sushi. Super fresh. But is an 8 piece roll really worth $22? And a queso with chips $11? Beware of sudden booms which they do when a group does a shot together. We were sat close to a bachelorette party and they got pretty loud.

    The service and food were outstanding however we were not expecting it to be such a party club like atmosphere. 3 bachelorette parties, very loud music and use of percussion instruments. We couldn’t have a conversation at our table without yelling. We ended up just having a drink and appetizer and going elsewhere. What we had was delicious.
