    We had a holiday dinner party at The Blue Mezze Bar last night. We were a large group of 16 people. They set up the patio just for us and it was so beautiful and festive! We ordered the Taste of the Blue Menu which was amazing! We got so much food! Such a huge variety and everything was so delicious! They made adjustments to the menu upon our request so everyone could enjoy the feast. Service was incredible- waiters were very attentive and did everything to make us comfortable and enjoy our party. We will be back!

    Food was pretty good and ample portions well worth the money. However, there was an issue with flies within the restaurant that they should address. They had a light decor which was attracting the buggers but otherwise everything was great. Service was attentive and very sweet. Food was delish and light as expected of a Mediterranean cuisine.

    The food is really good and reasonably priced considering NYC. the staff is always welcoming and eager to make you feel comfortable. Not many bars can offer a really great Old Fashion and they are willing to upgrade the burbon, which makes all the difference. I like sitting outside, which is well lit by table lamps. And most important!!! It's clean!!!

    Service was unfriendly. More importantly, food which seemed to have so much promise was clearly reheated and overcooked. With so many other great options in the area, what a disappointment.

    My experience was really good overall. The service was great. I can tell myself was the best Mediterranean restaurant I have tried on the upper east side. I tried the octopus and the loin steak. As dessert I got the Cold Baklava.
