My wife and I ate at Mezes last night and we were disappointed!!! The food was mediocre and the service was painfully slow, on a busy night I can understand but this was Monday and we were the one of two tables in the whole restaurant. My biggest complaint, which seems to be a problem with this restaurant based on some other reviews, was the early bird (sunset) special.\r
We did not go for the special, because we did not know they had one, we just wanted to have an early dinner. We ordered off the regular menu after the waitress told us about the blackboard specials leaving out the fact they have a sunset menu before 6:00 and we were seated a little after 5:30. We ordered our meal and it was okay but not spectacular, the hummus was good and my wife enjoyed the mussaka. We paid our bill and left, then I decided to check the menu in the window to see if they had an octopus dish that I like, there I saw the "sunset menu" so I went in and asked the waitress why it was not in our menus? She said it was certainly in there so she showed us and it was indeed in the menu...on the back of the last page! I said why didn't you inform us of the special, and she said I should look through the entire menu. She also said nobody has ever approached her for something like this before. Not surprising since the restaurant seems to be empty at this time. The "manager" came over and was no help, basically I explained the situation and he said the he would talk to the waitresses then said but the waitress "do not mention the specials" so what is he going to talk to them about? It seems like this is their policy. We left without kind of compensation, or closure, I told him we will not be back! I would advise not to go there and if you want good Greek food I would recommend Greek Islands Taverna.
