    Reservation confirmed but a table was not reserved when we arrived. Staff initially seemed annoyed to have to accommodate our party of 8, moving tables and whatnot. Service was extremely slow, and we had to continually remind our server for requested items such as ketchup, salt, etc. (Note service probably didn't matter as with a group of 8 a 20%tip is automatically added). Calamari was chewy. Blooming onion came as 4 smaller onions battered and fried whole, onions barely tender. Chicken tenders were so thin and tough that they weren't eaten. Fries were unseasoned. This is the 3rd time we've been there over the course of the past year and in that time both service and food have declined terribly. The band, however, was fabulous and we'd go back solely for the purpose of catching music, but we won't be eating there again.

    Came to Mezzo with a group of friends to watch a World Cup game and had a great experience. The atmosphere was awesome, the crowd was into the match, and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. The food really impressed me. I got the Steak Frites and it was cooked perfectly. The burgers at our table looked incredible too, even though I didn’t get a chance to try one. It’s exactly the kind of elevated bar food you hope to find but rarely do. Great service, great drinks, and a perfect spot to watch a big game. We’ll definitely be back!!

    Advertised having tvs outside to watch the World Cup game, but when we showed up for our outdoor seating, it wasn’t even set up, no tvs , bar was closed outside. We ended up going to eat at the bar and watch the game which was fine, but that outside ambient feeling we were looking for wasn’t there. Service was good, and people were nice. Just not at all what they advertised. Our date night to watch the game was a huge dud.
    Mezzo Grille - CTResponded on June 22, 2026
    Shawna, we're really sorry about the outdoors being closed this past Wednesday! Thank you for taking the time to share this. I’m very sorry we didn’t deliver the outdoor World Cup experience we advertised and that your date night was disappointing. I’m glad our team provided good service, but you’re right — not having the outdoor TVs or bar available is unacceptable. We'd love to make this right and invite you guys back when the outdoor is fully open. Please shoot us a message if/when you are going to be back and we will get you some drinks on us! Cheers

    The restaurant accepted reservations through open table for a Saturday at 12:30pm. Restaurant isn’t open until 4pm (per sign in the window). Disappointing when it was a lunch plan during a busy day, and the restaurant you have a reservation for is closed and you are never notified. The restaurant needs to notice when they receive a reservation through open table to fix the issue, or contact customers.

    Extremely slow service, our dinner took almost 1 hour to come out. Judging by how dry my chicken was, it had been under the heat lamp for some time.

    Service was bad, food and drinks were average. Not impressed by the drink menu. A drink I selected wasn’t available any longer but was still on the menu. Overall wasn’t impressed and wished I chose another place to go to on a Saturday night.

    Valentine's day was a blast! Got two of the specials, both came out promptly and were delicious. My girlfriend really enjoyed the desert a chocolate flour free tart. We didn't know of it, but we were there for the trivia, which was fun! Great time overall, and would recommend.
