Meso Modern Mediterranean

We had a reservation for Valentine's Day and were taken care of promptly. We felt very accommodated and a great experience being served. Our server had a Polaroid camera and printed some photos to capture our special day. We hand the lamb shank, beets salad, lamb flatbread, and sirloin steak. All the flavors were very fresh with layers of tastiness!

I went on Valentine's day and they had the special menu course but we wanted to do a la carte instead to pick our own food. The food was amazing!!! I love how fresh the mediterranean food was. It felt healthy in a good way too. The lady who served us was superrrr friendly the whole time and cheerful! She carried a polaroid camera around so we got to take a picture at the table to take home as a memory :) This was super thoughtful! The beet salad gave me a new perspective on beets, they were super soft and yummy and paired well with the olive oil and yogurt sauce. The spiced lamb flatbread was good but it wasn't a must eat for me. The lamb shank was juicy and slid right off the bone, that's how you know it's super tender! I really enjoyed this with the couscous. This is their staple menu item. The beef sirloin steak was the highlight. This is a rotating menu item and I've never had it with the sauce it was served with before. I didn't know what it was but it was a refreshing experience and I'd recommend getting this. These were all shareable. The place inside was cozy! I'd recommend to any mediterranean food lovers!!!!

The dishes here are fresh and change based on seasonal vegetables, which I really appreciate. I love that they use what's in season--it adds to the quality and flavor.The presentation is absolutely gorgeous, and the pricing reflects that level of detail. The restaurant can get pretty packed since it's located at the end of Santana Row, but you can always make a reservation to secure a spot. The interior is just as stunning as the food, creating a beautiful dining atmosphere.Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a gathering if you enjoy high-end Mediterranean cuisine!

I had my birthday dinner here and it did not disappoint. The interior is so cute and the dishes delivered. My favorites of the night were the lamb, the fish and the potatoes. The lamb was fall off the bone tender and the fish was tender. Service was great and polite. This would be good a cute date spot or classy dinner.

Had a great time at Meso Mediterranean with my friends! We were in the mood for some good vegetarian food, and this place delivered.We started with the mezze platter, which was a solid mix of hummus, baba ganoush, and falafel--everything was fresh and full of flavor. The charred eggplant was another highlight, super smoky and delicious. The flatbread was soft and warm, perfect for scooping up all the dips.The roasted cauliflower was surprisingly amazing--crispy, well-seasoned, and just really tasty. For drinks, we had sangrias and a Mezcala, both refreshing and well-balanced.The vibe was really nice--modern but cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot for Mediterranean food, especially if you're looking for good vegetarian options. Will be back for sure!

VERY BAD SERVICE & LUKE WARM/COLD FOOD. We came here this past weekend and had awful, unfriendly service. Our table was purposely ignored entirely and given luke warm/cold food. Sad to say I used to LOVE this place but not anymore. I honestly can't believe they permit such awful service.We visited on a Saturday and were seated right away. They gave us a lovely booth for two. The decor, music, and atmosphere is absolutely lovely and we were looking forward to a very nice dining experience. Too bad we were given the EXACT OPPOSITE. In the beginning our server was friendly, funny, and helpful. He was charming and even took photos for us. We ordered drinks and an appetizer to start. We were talking and enjoying our appetizer of the Sautéed Prawns with some pita bread, they're delicious! Definitely my favorite thing here so far. After talking for about 20-30 minutes, we realized our server had completely forgotten us and never came back to take our food order. Oddly enough the tables on both sides of us (that arrived 10-15 after us) had already gotten all of their food, drinks, and everything.. Strange. Our server forgot about us but attended to everyone around us... Finally when a busser came to take away our empty appetizer dishes. I asked if he could please send someone to take our order. We were literally starving. He asked who and we said, "we don't know his name but he is a bald guy." The busser sent over the Manager instead. The manager came to take our order on a paper with a pen. Thank you. Shortly after our server came running over to take our order. He was all sweaty and clearly flustered. I understand being busy and having the responsibility of different tables, but all we wanted was to just take our food order we were waiting for over 30+ minutes. Everyone around us had food and we were starving at the table... Anyway he took our order and we were happy to continue our conversation like nothing happened. No big deal right? WRONG because when our food arrived... it was NOT hot or fresh at all.. but the food we received was LUKE WARM and cold. I can't help but feel like they left our food to sit out until it was nolonger fresh on purpose... Who delivers a lukewarm New York Strip over very cold dressing??? WEIRD. I ordered the Lamb Shank and it was quite lovely but also not as hot and fresh as it should be. It was very moist and had a very nice savory flavor to it. BUT since the food was more on lukewarm side, not hot and fresh I didn't enjoy it much sadly. We also got the New York Strip, which I think we would've loved if it hadn't been LUKEWARM as well. It is VERY STRANGE to receive a steak that is not even hot or very warm at all. I'm not sure if the bottom is supposed to be actually COLD. Is it? The bottom dressing was cold like out of a refrigerator.. The steak was cooked perfectly, but they clearly waited a LONG time to bring the food to us for some odd reason because is it luke warm?? Not hot at all.At this point it felt like we were given BAD SERVICE on PURPOSE. Our experience was very uncomfortable with the server because honestly we could have easily gotten over the fact that he forgot to take our order.. BUT it was the fact that he was clearly UPSET with us for asking for someone else's help. He was no longer smiling or talking to us at all and he never checked back on us. He checked on everyone around us at least 3/4 times while NOT checking on us. It was deliberate and very unprofessional. The server finally came back towards the end to take away an empty plate, but said nothing to us. He was so awkward and weird after we asked for someone else's help. Even at the end, the server never came back to check on us. A tall manager (or worker) lady came and asked if we needed anything. We got the check from her and paid the bill with her as well. Not our server. We decided that we would still tip him even though he purposely treated us unkindly and regardless of the VERY BAD service we received and weird luke warm food.. We both agreed that we are never coming back here due to how unprofessional the server was and the fact that I honestly think they gave us lukewarm + cold sauce on purpose. Absolutely AWFUL service.Honestly if he would've just apologized and taken our order and given us hot food, we would've forgotten about the fact that he forgot to take our order in the first place. But the fact that he purposely helped everyone around us and ignored our table entirely ON PURPOSE and then we ended up with cold/lukewarm food is very unacceptable and unprofessional.

Finally came to Meso Modern Mediterranean for Friday night Date Night, and it did not disappoint! We arrived at 730pm and were seated right away on the Patio, cozy with plenty of heaters. There is an extensive drink menu, even a section on zero proof drinks and refreshers, for those looking for nonalcoholic beverages. We enjoyed our Faux 75 & Pineapple fizz! Service was friendly, welcoming and encouraged us to order leisurely and enjoy. We started with the wild mushroom flatbread-- delicious! The mushrooms were tender and tasty! Next we tried the tumeric cauliflower-- it was excellent-- I loved the crunchy quinoas topping and bed of creamy fluffy labneh. The falafel bites were nicely cooked and on a bed of yummy garlic tzatziki! We got the mezze platter, which comes with pita & chips-- I loved the hummus (drizzled with high quality olive oil), walnut mahumarra (crunchy with juice pomegranate), and beat labneh (omygosh I would have a big bowl full of the pink creamy heaven!)! Would definitely come back for the vibe, flavorful food, great service!! Parking is a plenty in the many Santana Row garages.

Absolutely love this spot. I've been twice - once for a work dinner and once with family for a birthday. The service is exceptional - I had Marco as my server both times and he is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and attentive! The decor on the walls is light and exotic, and adds a nice touch to the feel of the restaurant. Now the food, is absolutely incredible. We got the warm marinated feta with garlic - a must try!!! The lamb shank was one of the most flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth meats I've ever had!! Highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back.

We went here for my mom's birthday after seeing the high ratings, it absolutely lived up to the hype! The food here is exquisite, very unique flavors and perfect portion sizes. The New York strip steak was some of the best I've had, the flavor combination strikes the right balance between fragrant and savory. Our server Christian took great care of us and made us feel comfortable and excited to be there. We sat outside in the heaters, but inside has an incredible dining room with a beautiful furnishings. Flat out 5 star experience, highly recommended!

Christian was our waiter and he was fantastic!!! the food was amazing and I definitely recommend the mushroom flatbread - unreal. great vibe too for a nice night with friends.
