   The food was quite good, very small portions which was expected, and just fine, but be prepared. WE sat outside which would have been nicer if the band wasn't playing at stadium-level volume. I like live music for sure, but we were yelling over each other and it really detracted from the experience. SIT INSIDE!!

   A little expensive per their portion sizes. They have good ambiance, excellent service. My favorites are octopus and shrimp under small plates!

   The food was just ok and the portions were ridiculously small for the price. The risotto with scallops was watery with cream; the Brussel sprouts not very flavorful. The baked fish was tender snd ok overall, just not very flavorful for the $44 we paid for it. The flatbreads and kabobs were good. Location was nice. But overall, very pricey for what you get with the food just ok.

   This was a great place to have my birthday celebration with family. Everything we ordered was wonderful. My kids were even able to have their kid-friendly food choices whilst the adults dined on dishes of culinary perfection. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly. They even got my cake (we brought with us) ready for wish time.

   Not sure where these reviewers ate, but my lunch experience was anything but a good one. First of all, the place was empty. That should have been my first tip. Secondly, our waiter took our order and delivered the food, and then could not be found after that. We actually had to search him down. Thirdly, all the of the food had a strange aftertaste—my suspicion is that they are using rancid/old oil. My chicken was completely over cooked and the rice was flavorless with my kabob. Seriously, beyond underwhelmed.

   We understand it is holiday today. But we don’t even get the basic service. Waited 30mins after we be seated to get a glass of water. If the server was too busy, we could understand. But he was holding the water pitcher and taking to the table next to us. And he didn’t take a glance on us. My brother questioned him when the water finally on the table. Since then he only show up to our table 3 times. One is because our table don’t have forks. Second is I asked the busboy about the beer that I ordered. Third is when we got the check. It make my mon up sad. She feels been treat differently. She saw that other servers was giving flowers to their tables. But we got nothing. My mom keep asking was this racial discrimination. I explained to her this is not considered discrimination. He may not just don’t like us.

    Service was lacking. The server took our order for the starts and drinks and then just disappeared. We waited and waited to order more food. Other servers moved around carefully avoiding eye contact. Finally we had to call one out and place the order. Then again for the bill, we kept trying to get a hold of someone. Finally someone gave us the bill after us calling out to them, they vanished again. No one came, so we had to go to the counter to pay. This is not what I expect when I am paying so much!!

    We went there for date night. There was only 1 server for the patio area. He seemed really busy and didn’t make it to our table. The person serving the water took our order. The food was cold. No one came by to ask us if we needed anything or boxes for our food. We paid upwards of $200 for a two person meal. I wouldn’t recommend it

    Meso popped up as a recommendation on a list with 5 other restaurants that I have been to and enjoyed so I wanted to check it out. We went on a Friday night and the place was moderately busy, but not packed. Staff and server were friendly and attentive. Our server Heidi recommended the Trio of Dips which we ordered with our cocktails, all were tasty. I added the crispy lamp with the trio, which I enjoyed. It reminded me of carnitas. We decided to experience as must of the menu as possible and order several small plates instead of trying some of the larger options. We ended up ordering the following; sparkling water, chrysanthemum, pomegranate mule, trio of dips + crispy lamb, sautéed prawns + pita, beef shish kebab, olives, roasted potatoes (serving size was larger than expected) w/ side of garlic tahini and ended with the chocolate date cake. The trio of dips and the prawns were our favorite. The evening set us back about $150 before tip. From the items ordered, all were great but we would probably not order the shish kebab or chocolate cake again. Compared to everything else the kebab was just not as flavorful as the other dishes. The chocolate cake seemed to be a flourless cake or something similar with nothing on top so it seemed like a cross between a brownie and cake, just not what I was expecting. The toasted coconut shavings and ice cream that came with it were good. We will definitely go back to Meso so we can try the other items on their menu. We had an enjoyable time and would recommend everyone try it.

    Food and menu were great. They were fairly busy but the service was extremely slow and missed two orders and had to keep us all waiting for last two to get their meal before we ate. Awesome location and good flavors. But was having a bad day in terms of service. Maybe a one off

    I was very unsatisfied with my visit today. My husband and I ordered the Lamb Shank and it was very monotone—flavorless. I would not recommend it, as nothing about it was spectacular, especially for the price. I asked to speak with the manager and was met with a mediocre response when I mentioned the issue. She insultingly told us that we should not have eaten so much of it if we didn't like it, but it was only half consumed between the both of us. After requesting for a discount, we only received 25% off when it should have been at least 50%. I've frequented Meso a few times before, but will sadly not be returning after this experience with management.

    The positives: good, friendly service. An interesting wine list. The minuses: the food was terrible, we should have sent it back to the kitchen. Examples: falafels tasted old and were hard—as though they’d been made the day before and left out. Everything lacked seasoning (salt) A chicken kale Cesar salad arrived with greasy bread crumbs for croutons and greasy, unrecognizable pieces of meat. Even asked the server if the stuff on our salad was chicken. Very expensive.
