    We have been dining here for many years, since they were on Westwood Avenue. One of our favorites is their signature Braised Lamb Shank with spinach and orzo, unfortunately it was totally off the mark this time. Lamb was a bit dry and did not fall off the bone as usual. For $42 a serving, this should be perfect every time. Very disappointing. Crab cake and Hummus appetizers were delicious.

    This is definitely a special place to go for a celebration. I have been there many times and they never disappoint. Food was excellent and ambiance is lovely. I would recommend this to everyone. It is a bit pricey so be prepared, but worth every penny. Bobbiela

    The food served at Mezza is unique and authentic. The flavors are powerful. The food is high quality and a pleasure to consume. We have not been to Mezza in about 2 years. The new, improved menu is even better. This is a top restaurant!

    Go here! Yum. Best deal is lunch but dinner is high quality. Lovely staff wants you yo feel at home. Each dish has a unique flavor and the seasoning is well done. They do long tables well for birthdays and celebrations. Bring wine. You can just do tapas and leave satisfied. Sharing dishes are good. We willl be back
