| - When you're in the mood to multi-task your dinner and entertainment, Mez is a worthwhile distraction with good dosage of quality food, service, decor, and eye candy. Be prepared to break down your assumption of a movie plus dinner would or should look like.
Verdict: 5.0 stars
0 stars = don't go there if you're life depended on it.
1 stars = tried it, attempted to eat it, and paid the price for it later
2 stars = tried it, but would not even recommend it your mother
3 stars = tried it, tasted ok and had issues with either service, decor, or food, but would be willing to go back if hungry.
4 stars = par for the course. Taste, price, and decor reasonable for the area for a good meal.
5 stars = excellent for you, your spouse, and anyone of your snobbish foodie friends
Being a business visitor from the west coast, and being a first time visitor to charlotte, I didn't have any notions on this place to begin with. But i was surprised to see a fusion between NY nightclub, upscale dining, and movie theater concept--and accept the fact that its going to put a reasonable hit on your wallet as well for dinner.
Ordered the crab cake and mahi mahi with spinach. Both tastefully prepared, not too buttery (the death of a good fish dish), and well portioned. You can eat in the theater or in the restaurant area. I opted to eat in the theater which becomes cumbersome when you realize its just too dark to enjoy. Service and bartenders were always friendly, accomodating to changes if needed, and helpful. expect to pay over $40/per person. Ticket prices were reasonable for a movie.
