The service we received was great. The waiter was polite, attentive and very helpful. Couldn't believe it we was offered complementary bread no restaurants offer this. Which was nice to see. The food was what we expected. Only thing is it could of been hotter in heat. But nice food and very tasty. Would definitely go back. My son definitely enjoyed his birthday surprise.

Great location, lovely table and generally a nice evening. Food was tasty but the portions were small. We asked for bread but it didn't come. We would have left hungry had we not ordered 2 cheese boards and pudding. While eating the front door kept opening of its own accord and we were blasted with cold air. We kept shutting the door but it continued all evening. After our meal we asked to stay for a final drink and the waiter said we could so long as the group in the function room were still eating/drinking. The waiter then changed his mind and told us we could no longer order a drink and he had told the function they we not allowed more wine. An abrupt end to our night and a shame. I don't normally leave a review but I feel I would want to know if I owned Mezzet Dar Tapas.
