  • Probably a 3.5 but I'm not feeling generous today so I am rounding down. Formerly Amy's, Mezze is focused on small plates and pizzas. Both their food and their cocktails are based around Mediterranean flavors and spices. As my girlfriend and I are big fans of anything mediterranean, we were excited to stop by. The dining room was dimly lit with votive cocktails on each table. While they helped created a soothing ambience, it was almost too dark to effectively read the menus. We opted for a few cocktails and 2 small plates and a pizza. On the surface, the cocktails seemed priced too low ($6) but once we saw the glassware they were served in, then it all made sense. They were tiny but well executed. A real headscratcher however was the pricing of some of their bottles of beer. After my cocktail, I opted for the Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca. Assuming a price point of maybe $8, I was surprised when it was listed at $14. Another bottle was priced at $21. It just feels out of touch with the rest of the menu. As far as the food goes, we opted for the Broccoli Rabe, Lamb Kefta and a pizza with za'atar spice and labneh. Flavor wise, we thought the food was spot on but I feel execution was a miss. The broccoli rabe was served whole and slightly undercooked. The lamb kefta didn't taste like it was grilled and lacked any smoky flavor. The pizza crust was perfectly chewy and dense but the spices could have been more generously applied (and more salt). I like the fact the Mezze is catering to a different crowd and delivers a different experience that some other restaurants on State St (can anyone say Whisky Jacks?). With the new apartments popping up all around State St, I think it will play well with young professionals and empty nesters who will want to give it a try. But to keep them coming back, they need to tighten their kitchen game up a bit.
