    Food was really yummy! Portions very small for the price. Place is quite small. A lot of seating at the bar though.

    First Time at Mesu. Parked on public lot about two blocks away. Had reservations, was sat promptly. Waitress was attentive and informative. We mixed some sushi and tacos. Sushi was good, not great, but the tacos were fantastic. Craft drinks we good, strong and reasonably priced.

    The sushi and tacos were amazing, the staff is wonderful, and the churros were just the perfect ending. The hubby and I loved it here, definitely will be back, my mom and sisters will be coming into town to visit and this is one of the places I will bring them to.
