    We made a reservation for my husbands birthday to show up and the restaurant was closed. No notification of the closure or anything. We just showed up for the reservation THEY confirmed with me the day before. So we had to scramble and make new plans and we were disappointed and disrespected over their lack of care for our time.

    Food was flavorful. Portion of doro wot was very small. Willing to try again for full menu as we went for Valentine’s Day and they had a special menu. Water was only filled one time and was empty the majority of the time which sucked because the food was overall spicy. Crab cakes were good but not warm.

    We enjoyed the appetizers, especially the lambi and fritters, and the red snapper entree is not to be missed.  The smoky old-fashioned cocktail was amazing! Great service and a lovely environment. Recommend.

    I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Mesob Restaurant on New Year’s Eve. This is an annual tradition I share with my sister, and this year, it was completely ruined by poor service and unprofessional behavior. We both ordered the exact same meal: red snapper. I even told the waitress that my sister could have my plantains because I didn’t want them. After waiting over an hour, we finally asked for our food to be packaged to go since it was taking so long. When they brought the to-go bags, they completely left out my meal—even though it was the same as my sister's, and the conversation about swapping plantains happened directly in front of the waitress. To make matters worse, the total for our order was $92 for two drinks, my sister’s appetizer (a salad), and one red snappers. My sister left $95 to cover the bill, yet they had the audacity to claim that we didn’t pay the full amount for our food. The lack of organization and accountability from the staff was unacceptable. This entire experience was incredibly frustrating and disheartening. It completely ruined what should have been a joyful celebration. Mesob’s lack of communication, timeliness, and professionalism turned our night into a disaster. I will not be coming back, and I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. Do better

    Appetizer, drinks and entrees were all delicious! Server was friendly and knowledgeable; food took a while to come out from the kitchen. Great place and will definitely return!
