    What a fantastic experience! Beautiful view of Hudson River and you could see Statue of Liberty in the distance. We went at dusk and the sunset was perfect coming through the windows. Alejandra our waitress was attentive and professional. Seafood paella was divine! Definitely will return here!

    Views are fantastic. Spanikopita was amazing, I highly recommend. My boyfriend got the ribeye and it amazing. My paella was okay. I may just not be a paella person. The man who seated us waited on us at first and we weren't very tended to. Had to ask for more water and no one checked in on how the food was or anything. We were traveling so I'd probably not go back next time we visit but it was a good experience. It likely would've been better if we'd eaten in summer and at a table outside.
    Mezze on the RiverResponded on December 10, 2024
    Thanks for the review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our views and the Spanikopita. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the service were happy you loved the experience, and that you're considering us for your next visit. We hope to see you again, perhaps during the summer months when our outdoor seating is available. Thanks again!
