Pleasant surprise! Unassuming when you drive past it. But what a surprise. For lunch, started with the Octopus appetizer (not the salad), and it was phenomenal. And the branzino was excellent! Baklava could’ve been a little fresher, but did not take away from the experience. The service was very good too. Will be dining here again.

Mesiba is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. I took friends who were visiting from out of town here and we had the best time—we didn’t want to leave. The food was delectable, the service friendly, the ambience funky and cool, and the vibes immaculate. When I visited it was the fourth night of Hannukah and the whole restaurant sang together, which in these trying times was very healing for my soul. This is a new favorite of mine that I plan to return to again and again.
