    This is the second time I’ve eaten at Blue Mezze. The $59 Thanksgiving special was a great deal for my friend and me! The appetizers are delicious; red lentil soup, Greek salad, and babaganoush. The turkey was unconventional for Thanksgiving. It was sort of mixed in with rice, but very tasty. The dessert of cold baklava is also unconventional, but delish! The special also included a glass of wine or beer. The menu may not appeal to everyone for Thanksgiving, but if you’re willing to try something a little different, it’s great value for the money. Service is friendly and efficient.

    This is a nice enough place but way too loud and the tables are extremely close to each other for lack of space. The bar area is falling on top of the tables and the hip hop music makes it hard to hear the conversation at your table. Not my favorite and I won’t be retuning. Too many other great options.

    With friends we haven’t seen for a year, and we were told the reservation was for 2 hours. Nothing about that when i made the reservation. We ordered dessert and left. Not the way to get people to come back!
