   Great lamb shank and octopus, but brussels sprouts were overly salted this time. That was a big disappointment since they always have been delicious in the past.

   Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled you loved the lamb shank and octopus but sorry to hear the Brussels sprouts missed the mark this time. Consistency is key, and we appreciate you letting us know. We’ll share this with our kitchen team and hope to serve you a perfect plate next time!

   Enjoyed a nice lunch with a friend. We split the cauliflower as an appetizer and had separate entrees (chicken shawarma and chicken kebab plate). We both thought our lunches were flavorful, and service was attentive and friendly. I would return.

   Food wasn’t great and expensive on top of that. I’m not planning to come back.

   It was a beautiful experience. The staff accommodated us inspite of an emergency at Santana Row on V day. The food, drinks and ambience was great! The lamb shank was the best!

   The Patatas Bravas and the Brussels sprouts were excellent. All the food was. Great vibe, and a great place.

   We went for Valentine's Day and were treated to a splendid multi-course meal. The food was excellent. The service was prompt and engaging. The ambience was inviting and fun. While it was very busy, the noise level was comfortable and it did not feel cramped in any way. Definitely would recommend. We will absolutely be returning.

   We have dined here several times in the past, but for Valentine's Day, it was not up to previous standards. A prixe fixed menu was offered, and the couple next to us were not properly served, and their polite attempts to correct the problem were not properly handled. As a result, several diners around became aware of the issue and actually applauded loudly when management FINALLY came out and corrected the problem. Our own food was obviously not cooked to Meso's usual excellent standards; the chicken was overcooked and tough. We were glad to see it busy, but we'll forego making this a "special" place when it appears management and staff get overwhelmed.

   Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience was disrupted by service issues, especially on such an important occasion. It’s clear that we didn’t meet the standard of care that both you and the couple next to you deserved. We appreciate your patience, and your comments about the missteps with timing and wine pairings have been shared with our team. We are committed to providing a smooth, memorable dining experience, and we’ll work to ensure this doesn't happen again. We hope you’ll give us another chance to get it right in the future.

    Great experience and food from start to finish. Like the Brussels sprouts, brine chicken, eggplant, rice, and the beet salad with prawns. The dessert shaped like cigars were a closer.
