    I wanted to share my recent experience at lunch. My teenagers and I visited for my birthday and ordered both the chicken kabob and the chicken bowl. Unfortunately, we found the meat to be a bit dry and overcooked, which was disappointing. Regarding the service, I felt there was room for improvement. It would have been nice to receive a bit more attention and a welcoming atmosphere. The host took our order and then left us alone until we asked for the check, which made the experience feel less engaging. A simple gesture of courtesy, like checking in with us after our meal, would have made a big difference. I hope this feedback is helpful as you strive to enhance the dining experience for your guests.

We’ll definitely look into improving both the quality of the dishes and the level of attention from our team. Your experience matters to us, and we hope you’ll consider visiting again for a better overall experience.

    Brunch: Highly recommend the green eggs and lamb (ask for a side of the serrano salsa or the calabrian chili salsa). The pita donut is great. And the mediterranean brunch bowl was a great salad too.
    Meso Modern MediterraneanResponded on March 21, 2025
    Thank you for your kind words and fantastic recommendations! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the green eggs and lamb, pita donut, and Mediterranean brunch bowl. We’ll be sure to pass along your feedback to our team. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to try even more of our menu options! Hint: the mochi waffle will leave you speechless

    Worst customer service ever. Repeatedly wrong order, terrible communication, no apology, why wouldn't a manager come and talk to us / fix the issue. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! Please spend your money some where else, just not here.
    Meso Modern MediterraneanResponded on March 21, 2025
    We're really sorry to hear about your experience, and I sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with both your order and the service. This is definitely not the level of service we aim to provide. I assure you that we take feedback like yours seriously, and we’ll be addressing these concerns with our team. If you’re open to it, I would love to hear more details and see how we can make this right for you. Please feel free to reach out directly or send us your email address so we can connect.

    Appetizers eggplant & beet dip for the pita were good. My partner enjoyed his strip loin. I ordered parpadelle but was served spaghetti, no explanation until I asked, the wild mushroom sauce was wonderful, no artichoke detected in the ragout. Our appetizer plates weren’t cleared before serving the entrees. The surroundings are beautiful, very impressive.
    Meso Modern MediterraneanResponded on March 21, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the appetizers and your partner’s strip loin. I sincerely apologize for the mix-up with your pappardelle order and the delay in clearing the appetizer plates. This is not the experience we want to provide, and we will address these issues to ensure better service in the future. Glad you liked the ambiance, though, and hope we can have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience.

    Service was slow - after finally taking order - the entrees came out 5 mins after apps and we said we just got our apps. They took our Andre‘s back and clearly they just sat in the kitchen for 15 minutes because when we got the feedback, it was room temperature and the pasta was dried out. No one came by during our main meal to check on us. It’s not like they got really busy very quickly and could not keep up. This was disappointing because we were celebrating two birthdays and we wanted to try this place

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and I sincerely apologize for the poor experience you had during your visit. It’s clear that the timing of your meal was off, and we fell short in ensuring your appetizers and main dishes were served properly and at the right temperature. I understand how frustrating it can be to have food that’s not prepared as expected, and I’m truly sorry for that. I truly appreciate your patience in bringing this to our attention, and I can assure you we’ll work hard to improve both the timing of the service and the quality of the dishes. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance, and we’d love to make things right for you. Please send us your email if we can welcome you back with a gift certificate. Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

    Poor service from server who was either very inexperienced or inept. Couldn’t remember our orders, brought us incorrect drinks, wasn’t familiar with cocktail menu. Food was ok, expensive for portion size and quality. Have been here few times before, don’t think we’ll be returning.
