   Coffee refill was a full charge. Not ideal for an upscale restaurant . Poor judgement . Otherwise food wasn’t great

   We went for brunch. The choices are not vast but are delicious and you can order from the regular menu as well. It is a small place so service is very good and attentive. All in all a good experience and will be back in the summer.

   This is the second time my husband and I have dined at this restaurant. On both occasions the service and the food was great. Not to mention the view of the Hudson from our table. This is what you want from a restaurant ambience, great food and good service. Can’t wait to visit again.

   Great value. Service was excellent. Food was really great. My daughter had the lamb chops. And I had the ginger tiger prawns. Molten lava cake was also delightful. Cocktail menu is also strong. Will definitely come back.

    We had a lovely dinner at Mezze. We started with happy hour at the bar. Oysters were delicious and my cosmo was done correctly. For dinner we tried the octopus and cigars as apps we were full after those so we split the Wagu steak. All was delicious. Staff was very friendly. Food was very good and the views were outstanding

    The restaurant staff was very kind and nice. However the music was WAY too loud and we were not able to enjoy conversation at dinner. Just two of us sitting less than 2 ft apart and we couldn’t hear each other. The preset menu only had 1 vegetarian friendly option and no chicken dish. I ordered the Mediterranean Paella and my shrimp was not cooked at all! It was completely pale and white. The menu offered two dessert items, but we were told last minute that we’re only allowed one dessert per table. This was silly considering we’re paying $150 per person. The staff started cleaning up while we were still eating and propped a door open, causing the freezing breeze to blow directly onto us. They apologized with a free tequila shot, but considering it was a Tuesday, it was completely unnecessary. Overall I feel like this experience was a waste of $377 (after tax and tip) for a 2 person dinner. I will not be returning anytime soon.

    Valentines Day dinner with my wife was anticipated to be wonderful but turned out to be just so-so. Beautiful views but average food. Service was polite and they made the effort but at times were inconsistent. For example: We were advised that a dish was accompanied by a vegetable but after ordering was told it was not. But such advise was provided too late to do any thingu Overall, the staff tried hard to be accommodating and that effort was appreciated as it balanced a lackluster menu offering/taste. Sadly, this was a pre fixe dinner with 20% service reward included. This mo options to express to the restaurant my dissatisfaction.

    The food was excellent, as was our server. Since it is a small place and some of the seating is at high-top tables in the front, I suggest you call about where you will be seated in case you have a preference. Will return for brunch and dinner again.

    We arrived before the dinner crowd, but the wait staff forgot to bring my friend’s drink, even though they weren’t even busy yet. The tables were setup way too close to each other for profit, waters and guests had a hard time navigating, impossible to get out of your table and all around without brushing against others or their tables. Food was ok/good, everything tasted good, but most were hard to chew. The view and neighborhood are lovely, if you reserve table ahead of time or arrive not in rush hours, you get window seats. I also recommend ordering food that are easy to cook softer/moister. Food quality is good, but their cooking it isn’t the best.

    It isn’t worth the trouble of getting there. The food is as lousy as the view is stunning. My suggestion would be to take a walk on the esplanade and then remove to a restaurant where the emphasis is on the food and not the view. Alas one can’t eat the view.

    We had reservations for two people at 12:00pm. Got there at 11:58am but doors were locked. We could see employees looking at us from inside, reservation came and went and they still didn’t let us in until 12:10pm. Very weird. We were provided menus, after some time we submitted out orders. 15 minutes later the waitress returns and says she accidentally gave us the wrong menu and we need to choose from a different menu. We chose a different order. When food came out, one of the orders was wrong. Towards the end we noticed a commotion at another table. This other table paid their bill, but the waitress returned their receipt but not their card. They were looking around for the card and eventually found it. When we paid our bill I jokingly said to my friend that I bet their card wasn’t inside. Sure enough, they also didn’t return our card and had to go hunt for it. Good food, but overall extremely slow service and repeated sloppy mistakes.

    Everything was great. I had the Chilean sea bass which was perfect. They were a tad slow in serving it and knew we were making a show and offered complimentary wine and profuse apologies. We made our show easily but greatly appreciated their concern. Highly recommend.
