    I thought this place would have easily gotten 5 stars but for some reason it didn't meet my expectations. Booking was easy, parking was available, they had many people working there and everyone was nice. Food was coming out fast at first but then when they got busy it was taking very long. The only two reasons why it wasn't a 5 star was because the chicken was really dry, I wasn't expecting that. And the salmon tasted horrible which was not their mistake but whoever they source it from gave them really bad quality salmon. I usually would say something but couldn't this time since we were celebrating. The portions seemed small for the price and mostly carbs. I would probably have liked to see more protein dishes like octopus for example. The only dish that was really good was the shrimp.

    We had such a nice dinner at Meze. With very hard to please guests, we were all so impressed with the service and the food. Our server, Helani, was absolutely amazing. We were ready to adopt her into our family by the time we left! The food was so good. Very flavorful and perfectly executed. Kudos to the Meze team! We will definitely return! I think Meze will be our new go-to restaurant for family dinners.

    "I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The calamari is the best I have ever had. Our meals of Shrimp Fettucine and Bucatini were fresh and seasoned perfectly. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable
