    Unfortunately for Easter Sunday it was extremely loud. There was a large party next to us and my mom who is elderly definitely felt like it was very loud and I agree. Food was mediocre for the extremely large price. The view was definitely amazing. Would go back for the French fries.

    Overall:3.5 stars What I liked: The food was quite good. Great location. Good drinks and a nice overall vibe. What I didn’t like: Happy hour is listed on their website (5–7 PM), but when I initially asked about it, the server denied it. When I asked again and showed the website, the server seemed visibly annoyed. Despite the confusion around happy hour, it’s still a decent spot with good food and drinks.

    Another fabulous time at Mezze! Beautiful and intimate table seating, great view, better food & service. I’ll always recommend Mezze. P.S. Try the molten lava cake for dessert. :)

    First dining experience in NYC. Food was good but nothing to write home about. Asked for steak medium rare but was served medium well. They fixed this upon request but should not have been an issue

    Really good food, really kind servers, was an incredibly disruptive group there that harassed customers and turned the entire restaurant in a personal bar. Multiple tables complained multiple times. Management did absolutely nothing and hid away once they realized how awful the group was being, again harassing other customers, getting in their space, stealing food, they had complete control of everything and everyone in the restaurant and management did less than nothing.

    I reserved a table for 4 at 9pm for my wife birthday. I formed them on the reservation this was my wifes birthday and wanted to make it special. We werent greeting kindly on our arrival, and they made us wait 17 minutes for our table my wife was standing in heels. Catch this, we’re doing Ramadan, so we are starving and thirsty, the food was great and quick but the server just didnt seem to think taking our orders in a timely matter was important, as we seem the staff huddling and joking around several of times and we hope they would come to check on us. Many time my guest were left without water refills, but if you dont mind poor service the food was amazing and well put together. So come here on a chill night not for something very special. Oh and the view is beautiful, so that was a plus.

    The worst. Tables were too close to each other, they may as well have sat us at the same table, to give a better idea, I was touching shoulders with the obnoxious guy sitting next to me not only could I hear his entire convo but his foot was up on my side of the window. Another thing about the table, make sure they wont fill your glass up all the way, the tables wobble so bad, a-lot of water just spilled on me, didn’t help that they kept refilling after one sip of water. Food was great though, for some grilled zucchini, don’t think you can grill it any better.
