Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mezze on the River offers "delicious food" and "fantastic views" of the Hudson River. Guests rave about the "spanikopita," "espresso martinis," and "seafood paella." While the location is "beautiful," some diners note service inconsistencies. It's perfect for a "quiet romantic dinner," especially during al fresco season.

    Bait and switch menu. No price on menu for Moet dinner. Manager and staff acted as if they did not know about prices and menu. Terrible customer service service. Report to NYC Consumer Affairs

    Thanks for the feedback, Danny. We're sorry to hear about the miss understanding on the prices on the menu you can find the prices on our Moet menu online. Prices range base on the reservation count and timing. Best, The Management Team

    The view from the restaurant is amazing, great atmosphere. The food is variable. We had lobster tacos as starter and they were fantastic, great fusion. But the chicken for the main course was very dry and no taste. It probably depends what you choose, better to go for seasonal specials.

    Mezze had delicious food and a genuinely warm and skilled staff. I'm looking forward to coming back, and hope that their back patio will be open then. They had closed it because of the weather, so maybe call ahead and ask if they've got it open if the skies look iffy and you want to sit outside. Inside seems very nice, but now that we're headed into al fresco season with such a gorgeous view, I didn't pay it much attention. Also, the drink program is excellent. I'd come back for that alone even if the food wasn't great, but it is. Standouts were the espresso martini, the Oopa cocktail, the spanikopita, and the toasted pita with dips. We wanted to try a dessert but were way too full so that's another thing for next time! :)

    I made a reservation here a week in advanced before my trip to visit the city. I was disappointed by a called I received 4 minutes before my reservation time telling me they needed to cancel my reservation because of the rain. I said “are you seriously telling me this 4 minutes before my reservation, we are outside, can we sit at the bar instead?” and I was told yes. so we sat at the bar and had a great drink and appetizer and ordered entrees. about 5 minutes later the manager came up to us and said we had to leave by 4:45 because of a private party . we were astonished by this because the host and both of the two bartenders did not tell us this information or we would not have stayed. So we were told we had to leave at 5 at the latest, we had to cancel our entrees and leave. it was a great location so we were sad that we weren’t able to fully experience it.

    I really wanted it to be better. It's a great location. The staff seemed new or poorly trained. The tables are near a private building exit and it was as busy as a subway stop with tenants coming through. Attention to the table ware was minimal and it took three inquiries to get our drink right. It has a lot of potential to be a destination, though I may not be back. Food was decent to good. Good spot to watch the sunset though.
