Wow, what a find. We were walking around Danforth looking for good eats. This place just looked right. We went in, and were lucky to be seated quickly.
The food was great, service was good, and the atmosphere was outstanding. For some reason I think of an old mafioso place where everyone is family and there is a genuine warmth of character (except during the assassination runs!).
I have eaten many times at 'nice' places in the SF Bay Area, and not one place compares to Mezes. All the high-end SF places have a tonne of annoying attitude with snooty waiters. I felt comfortable and at home at Mezes. It was like the movies!
Go there. You won't be disappointed.
