    10 of my best girlies visited here to celebrate my best friend’s bachelorette weekend! We ate here on our second night and loved everything we tried, not to mentioned the drinks were wonderful as well. Highly recommend the surf and turf. The waitress was amazing, let the bride to have a shot on the house with a sparkler and she got to whack the gong. Even gave us wristbands for a bar! Would totally go back here!

    We had an 8:30 reservation for 8 girls & we were not seated until 9 pm. The staff apologized but the place seemed very frantic and unorganized. Mesu should probably revisit the way they take recessions for large parties. The food and our waiter were good. However, we ordered dessert and that took another half hour to come..would have never ordered churros if I knew it was going to be a half hour!
