    The only pain we want in life is champagne. 🍾 Champagne dreams, waterfront vibes, and all the glam! We spent the perfect evening at @mezzeontheriver for Moët on the Hudson—and we’re still glowing from the bubbles and the views. Picture this: 4 courses of pure deliciousness paired with @moethennessy, all set against the NYC skyline. Igloos? Luxurious. The food? Scrumptious. The vibes? Unmatched. The champagne? Flowing like a dream. From candlelit tables to the soothing sounds of the Hudson, it felt like the city paused just for us. If you’re looking to toast to something (or nothing at all), this is where you need to be. Who’s ready for their Moët moment? Let’s make it happen!

    The service here is knowledgeable and attentive, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and well organized. I always prefer to follow the staff's recommendations, and they did not disappoint—everyone in our group was absolutely thrilled with both the meals and the drinks. To top it all off, the view is simply the cherry on top. We are so incredibly sad to lose this local gem, but we are deeply grateful that we had the chance to experience it. We will remember this special meal forever.

    it seemed as if something wasn't right in the restaurant. There were a few things unavailable on the menu that seemed like staples. My steak came to the table cold. The wrong order came for dessert. we had to find a server for the check. But the appetizers were wonderful and so were the desserts, once we got what was ordered. We sat outside by the river and the sunset was gorgeous.

    One of our BPC favorites for years. Broken hearted that it’s being forced to close as of today for this never-ending construction mess. We’ll miss you terribly, Mezze. Hope you resurface somewhere nearby soon!! Sending love & best wishes to the entire staff! 💕💕💕

I had the whole branzino with the Fennel and jicama salad absolutely delicious 😋 . Gonna try to have it one last time before they close for good.

    This experience was one of the worst I’ve had in a while. On our way there I thought we might be late, so I tried calling to let them now. After four attempts calling, no one answered. Luckily we got there on time. I let the manager know no one was answering, he did not care. As we walked to our seat, we requested a table a little closer to the wall outside, they declined to give us that table (it sat empty the entire time we were there, in an otherwise full restaurant). We ordered the calamari, crab croquettes and ribeye. While the croquettes were ok, the steak was over-cooked and the calamari was soggy. We ended up sending the calamari back and did not want a replacement. They still brought a new one that was completely burnt (as if to say “here’s your crispy calamari”). Our waiter was very rude about it. All of this probably could have been overlooked, however, not one, but two rats ran by us less than ten feet away. It was horrible. We will NEVER return to this restaurant.

    We’ve come here many times before and each time it was wonderful. Yesterday the weather was sublime and the brunch was, as always, perfection. BUT . . . we were upset to learn that they’re being forced to close in a week because they this interminable “resilience project,” which has ruined the summer and the entire neighborhood for months with zero work being done, other than erecting barricades that I walked around to reach the restaurant . This restaurant is a neighborhood staple that deserves 100 stars, not just five, and the despicable lack of concern for the owners and staff is unconscionable.

    The cold 1/2 lobster was very disappointing. It did not taste fresh. It tasted watery- like it had been frozen and defrosted.
    Mezze on the RiverResponded on August 25, 2026
    We are very sorry your half lobster arrived cold and tasted watery. That does not sound like the experience we aim for. Thank you for letting us know; feedback about freshness and temperature matters. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
