Wonderful food and really respectful service - attentive but not too much in your face, interrupting conversation. Lovely and highly recommend the Persian seafood pasta!

The ambiance and service is fabulous! Food is good but way overpriced which is unfortunate. I’d hesitate to return and drop that kind of money on a meal there when I can get as good or even better Mediterranean food at other local places for a much more reasonable price. Although it’s a small thing it bugs me to be charged $2 for extra pita when I’m paying these prices to dine there. This type of minor charge can lose a customer. No one wants to be nickel and dined when 3 people paid a 255 tab including tip.

What a shame that a nice dinner was spoiled by greedy aggressive fees. Not only that they charge the much hated 3% fee on credit card payments, they also included a 20% tip for a table of 2 explaining that tips are higher during the holidays. Apparently, this was initiated way before the holidays started & they reduced it by our request. Next time I will be paying with single Dollar bills...
MezzaResponded on December 10, 2024
Hello Arnold, Thank you for dining with us! We would like to clarify that the 3% credit card processing fee is an industry-standard cost that, unfortunately, we cannot avoid. During busy times, like the holidays, our system automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill to ensure fair compensation for our hardworking team. Restaurant servers rely on tips as a key part of their income, and this helps prevent situations where they might receive lower tips. However, we understand that guests may prefer a different gratuity amount. As was the case during your visit, you requested a 15% gratuity, and we were happy to accommodate that adjustment. If you prefer to pay with single dollar bills, we completely respect your decision and will be happy to accommodate you, as always. Best, Mezza
