The service was a little slow tonight but in there defense, they were handling large groups coming from a graduation that was happening down the block. Although food was slow coming out, it did not disappoint. We still consider it one of the best restaurants in the area.

Cocktails need a little more variety and work. Food value needs work. Two kabob instead of one is better in my opinion.

Great ambiance and the music was so good! Perfect Valentine’s/galentines Day place! Great wine selection. Food was good but not enough bread/crackers/veggies for the dips

NII is a great restaurant in a great location. Normally, I love the food and ambience. Last time, my biscuits and gravy were exceedingly salty.

So many delicious choices of food, and for alternative diets, ie. vegan, gluten free! The staff are friendly and professional, and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. My two favorite menu items: Rosewater Pistachio Waffle and Mira's Power Bowl.

The Mecca is like the ultimate sports bar with an enormous theater size screen carrying the featured event of the moment, and high energy music pumping throughout the space. Like a sports bar, you don't really go there for the food, so don't expect incredibly executed deliciousness on every plate. The food is pretty standard pub fare of the deep-fried, high-calorie variety. The drink selection offers a range of local craft and national name-brand beers, wine and quick-prep or ready-made cocktails. They do offer four different kid's plates, which was nice. All-in-all, a really good spot in the Deer District to get pumped up for a Bucks game at Fiserv Forum, and possibly to go to view a big event on the giant screen with a whole bunch of other fans.
