The Blue Mezze Bar was a fantastic experience for my birthday dinner occasion! They were able to last minute accommodate a large group of 10 & while we were in the outdoor seating, the venue was beautiful and you didn’t even realize you were outside! Ali was our waiter and he was fantastic! Attentive and funny, great service!

Mezze items are excellent. The restaurant is beautiful with gorgeous bar. Unfortunately the “entertainment “ is too loud. Guitarist/ singer had great voice but got progressively louder and became a want to be Ibiza vibe- with dancing waiters, sparklers etc. not what we wanted at 9 pm but many seemed to enjoy it. Waiters are very inexperienced and do not speak English (Turkish) which made it difficult.

Made a reservation at the bar in advance, but was seated in a tight area at the very end of the bar where the waiters make/pick up drinks. Though accommodated, not ideal.

If it wasn’t loud enough from everyone talking, they had live music with a roaming saxophonist. I loved the food, but my friend and I couldn’t even hear each other to catch up.

We sat in there permanently enclosed but outdoor facility. We didn’t know we were sitting “outdoors”. There were heaters but it was still a little cold. If you want true indoors be sure to ask for indoors.

Horrible tasting drinks with all mixers and barely any alcohol. The Mezze dips were okay at best but couldn’t even eat the lamb chops. Honestly gross and can confidently say the worse I ever had. It’s a good location but really the food and drinks were horrible. They shouldn’t be charging those prices for such subpar food and drinks. They have to either drop their prices or up your quality. Disappointed to say the least. Won’t be coming back.

Amazing service! Went above and beyond for my birthday brunch. Were very accommodating about us bringing my cake and brought out the "fireworks" with the cake! The staff handed out sparklers to my friends, gave me a photo frame, and took photos of the group! Was beyond pleased, definitely a great place to host your birthday or any special group event. The food was also great, recommend the eggs benedict and berry waffles.

Sunday brunch was noisy in addition to the wonderful live saxophonist: we requested a move to the quiet outdoor seating. The brunch menu has choices not on the usual brunch menus; the portions were very generous; the food was good. We would return again and recommend it to friends.

Too many tables crammed in for our 6:30pm reservation. Ours was definitely crammed in. Tight space meant waiters were brushing past us for the entire meal. Music was extremely loud. Our ears were buzzing for an hour after leaving the restaurant. However, the service was excellent and appetizers were tasty. Entrees were a little boring. Steamed vegetable and scoop of white rice served with the lamb kebab were disappointing.
