When you asked us to lower the AC because you were feeling hot, our staff did so immediately, as requested. However, you chose not to believe them and repeatedly stood up, came to the host stand, and yelled at our staff, claiming that they didn’t care and had not lowered the AC, despite their efforts to accommodate you. At the same time, other guests were complaining that the restaurant was too cold. If the AC had not been running, other guests would not have been complaining about being cold. We strive to provide excellent food and service while maintaining mutual respect. We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. Best regards, Mezza Restaurant

Appetizers were good but the main entrees were just ok. For us we did not walk away with the “wow” factor considering the prices ($75+per person with tip) charged at this restaurant.
