| - I sure enjoyed this small, hidden gem. Although I know I may be bit biased because of who I went here with, so I will try to be at least somewhat not biased. But I make no promises!
Who I am kidding? This restaurant is great. In fact, I have been recommending this Mediterranean and Tapas restaurant to close friends for years. It is cozy, on the medium/small size which actually adds to the vibe of homeyness, without ever being tacky.
Of course, the highlight is the food: Generally light, tasty, varied, healthy, well priced and although I have never gone on their Loonie and Toonie days, it really seems like I should drop by and check them out!
Personally, I am a huge fan of tapas but generally find most restaurants in Toronto warp the recipe by giving you overpriced or undersized offerings in the $7 range, and although tapas may be small in size, they are supposed to be inexpensive since half the fun comes out of tasting a varied selection. In Spain, tapas can be as inexpensive as .99 cents of a Euro and in a lot of bodegas give you selected number of them for free. I do not expect that here but at the very least, I would prefer they stick to the spirit of the dish(!) and Mezzeta does that.
Also, FYI, they now have music night, sure there is a $8 covers but really, I can't see how adding live music to your dinner experience could go wrong.
A great place for a date and also to visit with friends, it is a very amiable and malleable location which easy suits different occasions.
One of my personal favourites, specially during the Summer.
Check it out, have fund with their menu! Just do not tell too many of your friends... Let's keep the place to ourselves. ;-)
