    Fast service. The food was tasty but not exceptional. The chips and salsa were really tasty and the margaritas perfect!

    We love Mesero! The food is absolutely delicious! The salmon is unmatched, the enchiladas and tacos are fabulous! But, what sets Mesero apart from others is the customer service. It is evident that they take pride in their service and that makes the dining experience even better. Thank you!

    We went on Christmas evening and everything was delicious on the planned Christmas meal. You had a choice between 4 different appetizers, salad or soup, a choice between 4 different entrees, and a choice between 3 different desserts!! It was so good with reasonable size portions. Especially the chicken fried oysters. We all had the surf and turf which was excellent. My only complaint was that the food was warm and needed to be hot and the lobster should have been served with melted butter, which I asked for. Also our server was very nice and attentive and we appreciated a place that was willing to be open on Christmas Day! Walking around the hotel and outside spaces were beautifully decorated with lights, lit fire pits, and several areas for photo opportunities. We loved it and will be back to such a tastefully decorated restaurant and hotel.

    Our server and management was excellent. Two of our dishes had issues with one being the wrong meal ordered. It went back twice before it was corrected. The other dish was dry - fish tacos missing the sauce. Manager was very apologetic for the kitchen mishaps and compensated us for the errors. This will not prevent our party from returning there as we live the food and atmosphere.
