Meze Estiatorio

Meze is located just over the bridge into Charlestown from Boston, but it remains one of the most underrated restaurants in the area. You would think it's location would lead to a more prominent reputation, but most locals do not head to this restaurant if given the choice for a night out. The interior of Meze is a very nice formal dining room with tables on the patio for dining during the summer months. The menu has taken cues from Greek cuisine with many dishes containing lamb and mint. There wasn't much in the way of vegetarian options, which would be my only real complaint about this establishment. The service here was super friendly and efficient and I am so happy I tried the baklava which they recommended highly. It was the most excellent version of the sweet dessert that I have ever had. more

Boston restaurants sometime seem like second class citizens to New York restaurants, although thankfully this has been changing over the past several years. Meze is one restaurant in Boston that easily surpasses its New York counterparts. The decor is exciting, with an open kitchen and nicely laid out bar area. The menu has great variety with many small plates (Meze) that can be shared for a casual dinner with friends. For a special occasion, the entrees are outstanding. Lamb and seafood preparations are well structured and nicely presented. The wine list features some great Greek wine. You will feel like you are on vacation at this incredible restaurant. The food is very high end, the best example being that a traditional Greek salad is presented with Heirloom tomatoes. more

Had my birthday dinner at Meze and it was a great night. The place was really lively, they had musicians sing happy birthday to me and the food is authentic Greek. I can't pronounce what I had for dinner, but the Baklava was pretty good more
