| - Went yesterday to Mezz mid afternoon while waiting to see Lincoln. Once upstairs was greeted by the hostess asking if we were there to eat or see a movie. I stated both, and explained that I had a reservation but was late. She explained that she was waiting for us to arrive, and it was not problem. She proceeded to ask if we would like to sit in the main dining room or in the bar area. I requested the bar, which has a trendy night club vibe to it. After deciding where to sit she asked if I needed my parking ticket validated, which I did. She brought some menus and my parking ticket back to the table.
The bartender came over to a wall courch we where sitting at, and was professionally dressed, and eager to help me. Ordered some non-alcoholic drinks and some crab cakes. I have been to Mezz before for a Microsoft celebration, and food then was well done, and yesterday food quality had not changed The Crab Cakes where pan seared and presented with some watercress on top of a seasoned seafood sauce. The sauce was too much spice for my taste, however still the cakes where fine without the sauce. Quite often you get crab cakes that are to wet or have been deep fried to the point of almost being burned and the crab as a result dry and dull in taste. Even if you pan fry them you can still over cook them leaving the crab unpalatable. This I assure you was not the case. They were moist, but firm, and favorable. You could really taste the crab. It made waiting for our movie more comfortable and enjoyable.
