Meza

Really disappointing evening at Meza. Had the special Royal Wedding menu and was really disappointed. One of the starters wasn't available (and it cant have been sold out because I think there were only 2 other people in the whole restaurant) with no alternative and when the food came it was mediocre and the portions were tiny. We had to order extra chips. Staff were quite rude. As mentioned there was no one else in there so atmosphere was non-existent. Wont be going back!

How have I never been to Meza before? All I can say is, if you haven't been, GO! It's brilliant. We had a fabulous dinner there, served by very well trained staff who really knew what they were doing, no mean feat considering how busy the place was. The music was brilliant, and we stayed on in the bar for drinks; the cocktails were very reasonably priced and served with flair and panache, which was great.

I'm going back next month for a work party, and I can't wait!

Went for a Christmas dinner with about 20 friends, and very disappointed. Food was utterly tasteless, and in the case of the brownie, gritty. While the waiter was charming, he needed help, as we waited over an hour for a round of cocktails.

At over £70 a head including wine, we all thought we'd rather have spent the money somewhere with decent food, and reasonably fast service. Certainly wouldn't go back.

I went with friends to take advantage of the 2 courses for £10 and 3 courses for £15 dinner offer.

I had the caesar salad as a starter, a steak with puree and caramelised onions for main course and the manchego cheese with quince jelly for 'pudding'.

The caesar salad was watery and nothing special. It is not a special dish, I know, but the way in which it was served could have been made more attractive and also it was a bit watery.

The steak was like a leather sole. Very hard to cut and they didn't even provide a steak knife to go with it.

What was suspicious was that the courses arrive way too quickly. The salad mind you it's not a big effort and is quickly done. The steak, on the other hand, felt like it had been warmed up in the microwave and had been made ages ago. I did ask for it to be rare or medium rare if they couldn't do rare, but it was definitely overdone and luckily I am not of dentures age; had I been, I would've lost them all in that steak.

The manchego with quince jelly was fine, except for the fact that they could've been a little more generous with the quince jelly and the bread which was not enough for the amount of cheese on the plate.

The toilets were a disappointment, only one had a hook behind the door to hang your bag and coat, otherwise you had to put your belongings on the floor. It may be considered by some a minor detail, but it is a detail nonetheless that doesn't cost much effort to correct.

The service was impeccable though by the staff serving the food and the lady servicing the toilets. It was not her fault there was nowhere to hang your coat.

I think this was a missed opportunity for Meza. These dinner offers should attract more people to come back again and spend more money and eat à la carte the next time. Instead, I know for sure I will never come again to eat such mediocre food. Disappointing.

I came to Meza for the first time this Saturday and had such a brilliant time. We had a selection of little dishes from the grill menu which were perfect with drinks.

The DJ later in the evening was amazing and the venue had such a buzz. I can't believe I've never been there before now! Will definitely be back

We just had a our christmas party at Meza. It looks great and is very buzzy but the food is very mediocre; our dried out turkey was served with crisps and you could slice the risotto. Starters and desserts were okay but the mains were pretty poor. Service was rubbish. Our main courses were bought out to the serving tables but left there, we had to get them ourselves before they dried out even more and got cold. A restaurant of this size and calibre should be able to cope with a busy Friday night and they are far from up to scratch.
