    We enjoyed the appetizers, especially the lambi and fritters, and the red snapper entree is not to be missed.  The smoky old-fashioned cocktail was amazing! Great service and a lovely environment. Recommend.

    I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Mesob Restaurant on New Year’s Eve. This is an annual tradition I share with my sister, and this year, it was completely ruined by poor service and unprofessional behavior. We both ordered the exact same meal: red snapper. I even told the waitress that my sister could have my plantains because I didn’t want them. After waiting over an hour, we finally asked for our food to be packaged to go since it was taking so long. When they brought the to-go bags, they completely left out my meal—even though it was the same as my sister's, and the conversation about swapping plantains happened directly in front of the waitress. To make matters worse, the total for our order was $92 for two drinks, my sister’s appetizer (a salad), and one red snappers. My sister left $95 to cover the bill, yet they had the audacity to claim that we didn’t pay the full amount for our food. The lack of organization and accountability from the staff was unacceptable. This entire experience was incredibly frustrating and disheartening. It completely ruined what should have been a joyful celebration. Mesob’s lack of communication, timeliness, and professionalism turned our night into a disaster. I will not be coming back, and I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. Do better

    Appetizer, drinks and entrees were all delicious! Server was friendly and knowledgeable; food took a while to come out from the kitchen. Great place and will definitely return!

    We loved Mesob! The food and drinks were delicious! I had the Green Shrimp Curry which was the best curry I’ve ever had. Our table also had the conch, a goat dish and the beef tibs. Everything was excellent!

    The food was unique and delicious. I suggest the bao buns to start. The shrimp and grits were so flavorful and the rum cake for dessert was incredible. Our servers were attentive and possessed a wealth of knowledge. AND THEN THERE WAS THE RUM… or I should say rums. So many rums. Each one better than the next. You will not go wrong choosing this place.
