    Food was just ok. Wines by the glass were not good. Feta was good quality, muhammara was mediocre.

    As a customer who has been here before, my most experience was subpar. Food mediocre at best. While the service started out ok, it got progressively worse. Waiting for a server to come back with a check was near impossible. I did get their attention by letting the seating person know if we didn’t get our check in 5 minutes, we were leaving. Amazing how that did the trick. They have lost two customers.

    We wanted to love this especially after friends we invited told us on the way in that they’d been here for brunch and ur wasn’t great. Backlit tables and ambiance are beautiful. It ends there. Tables are cramped waaaaaay too close together. Service is curt and prepare to ask for things multiple times. Good was just ok - and the lamb chops you pay $12 more for in the mixed grilll was one sad little really tough lamb chops. You have so many other choices. Skip this one.

    The place was so noisy we could hardly have a conversation. Turn the damn music off. No one is listening to it and it just adds to the overwhelming noise level. The place was VERY busy and a bit chaotic. We have to keep asking for things--like can you bring the bread with the hummus and what about the cut vegetables. And ah the martini was dirty---I didn't ask for dirty. Aside from the the food was delicious and the wait staff very personable. But we won't be returning on a Saturday night.
    Blue Mezze BarResponded on 8 May 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and found our staff personable. However, we sincerely apologize for the noise level, the service delays, and the issue with your martini. We understand how these aspects can impact your dining experience, and we’ll work on improving both the atmosphere and service to ensure a more enjoyable visit in the future. We appreciate your honest review and hope you’ll consider giving us another try on a quieter evening. Blue Mezze Team
