| - Last weekend my girl friend and I decided that we need to class it up and go a little glam for the night. Almost like a date (and heck, she's way out of my league if it was indeed a date lol), we went to Mez and ordered 4 small plates to share since it was getting late. We had to wait a little for a table, but since the bar is right there, it wasn't a big deal. Service was surprisingly good. Atmosphere was nice, very conversational inducing (music was loud enough but not too loud that we had to yell). We had the chicken skewer (nothing too special, but was well seasoned and moist), chilled shrimps (maybe a little overpriced for 4,5 shrimps, but were fresh & bouncy), illegal bread (amazingly good, it almost lives up to its name), and a side order of truffle fries (honestly, I was so full by the time it arrived, but I kept on eating it, because it's THAT good).
I normally go to Mez for partying... which no offense, is not necessarily a 4-stars experience. The line, the wait, the cover, the I-can-never-get-a-drink bar... I went to movie there once, apparently it was not memorable because I don't recall my experience. I had dinner once before as well, the food was ok, but the service was above average.
Like what others have said already, this is a nice place to hit for an all-in-one option. For us girls, that means we don't have to freeze our butts off walking around in skimpy outfits in the dead of winter :)
