    Horrible time at Mezcal- what ever its calls; the bar area. Too much to type about how terrible of an experience it actually was. Prefer the dining area a million times even though the service there isn’t that great either but the food is way better. Also pretty dumb that they have the same kitchen technically but you can’t order dining menu items at the bar and vise-versa.

    The food was very good, promptly served and tasted great. However, this place is SO loud. Do not go at dinner if you want to have a conversation.

    First time visit. Food and cocktails were great. Service was non-standard but worked well. May be an issue when busier. Overall this is a great place to try out.

    All appetizers and entrees were very good. food is 5/5. Overall a good experience but be prepared for a loud room where you can’t hear people on other side of table. We also felt rushed by waiters to hurry up with our orders.
