TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
I've been going to Messini's for the past 7 years with my family and friends and we've never had a bad experience with the food. The food is amazing and incredibly affordable it almost seems too good to be true.
Regarding the service, at the beginning when we use to go the service was relatively fine. The past 3 years of service has gone from an 8/10 to a 1/10. Two weeks ago I received probably the worst customer service I have ever been given in a restaurant. We waited 40 minutes for a table for 3 (not as packed as it usually is, I've gotten a table faster when it's been fuller) as the server came to our table I asked the waiter how's it going it seems pretty busy today, he responded with WHAT DO YOU WANT? In a very strong accent. With my mouth open beyond belief we told him our order. He came back to give us our food he dropped the plates and left. We wanted a refill & napkins but he didn't come back only to give us the bill that we had to stay an extra 20 minutes just to ask for it. As I looked for him in other tables a lady asked if her group of 5 could switch from the cramped tables they were in, into the booth in front of us and he said no. I gave him tip but he didn't deserve anything.
*if you're going to dine in be prepared to receive very horrible service and long waiting time.
