Went here for my first time for the Thanksgiving dinner and it was amazing! The food came out in a timely manner, the staff was great and it was a very peaceful dinner. I originally had outdoor seating booked but was able to sit inside once I arrived! Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, four course available for the holiday or the regular menu. This is the third time I’ve eaten there, the food, service, and ambience are exceptional. They also have a heated patio next to a dynamic water element, everywhere you look is visually appealing.

The atmosphere is contemporary and beautiful, the service was excellent, the Thanksgiving meal had delicious choices for meat, fish, and vegetarian, and was price fixed for appetizers-dessert. Drinks were very good as well. The background music was relaxing. Had a very nice time and will go back again!

i've had really great lunches at Meso in the past, but last night we went to dinner and it was terrible. we both order the gnocchi which I've enjoyed in the past. Last night it was just mush and cold and falling apart as if it was made hours ago and left sitting in the sauce for a few hours. We ended up just asking for our check and leave to go somewhere else.

Ambience and service was very good. The food and value were the disappointment. We ordered prawn, beef kabob and brussel sprout appetizers. Prawns were flavorful but you only get 5 pieces for $23. The beef was beef. Nothing special, didn't come out hot and only 1 skewer for $19. Brussel sprouts was satisfactory. For entrees we ordered the whole chicken, branzino, lamb shank and hanger steak. The hanger steak was very tender but also not hot. The rest were not bad. Overall the flavors were a bit bland. I expected it be bold and flavorful when eating at a mediterranean restaurant.
