I visited Greek Meze 2 on 17th August with 6 of my work colleagues, and we had a fantastic time!! The staff were so attentive, welcoming and made sure that everything was satisfactory throughout. I would definitely recommending this to anyone looking for a great afternoon evening with friends. The DJ that started at 3pm also played some great music!!

We had an amazing evening meal at this restaurant. The staff were keen to give us a really nice table and looked after us very well. We had an excellent meal. The whitebait was outstanding - it was the best we've had, honestly, since the 1990s. Our mains were truly delicious too. At the end, to our amazement, the singer dedicated a song to us ' I can't help falling in love with you', as it was our 50th wedding anniversary! What a wonderful evening!
