Mezzet Mediterranean Cuisine

One of the finest and best restaurants in OC, wonderful , Mediterranean , Lebanese , Italian , cuisine, really best service in OC, the owners and staff are superb , what a wonderful people, I really enjoy my visit n my meal here, I have to say it’s my favorite place to eat n dine in OC, oh best wines around at reasonable prices , why go anywhere else when you’re in south coast plaza. Tell them RD sent me .

My husband and I went to Mezze 5/25/23 in the early evening. The restaurant wasn't crowded and we were quickly seated on the patio. We ordered hummus and pita along with wine. The hummus was creamy and delicious. The pita was prepared with some oil and garlic and was a bit chewy. We ordered the chicken tagine to share. It was served in a traditional tagine dish. It was delicious and very shareable. What we especially liked about the tagine is that not only was it very tasty, it was also a light entree. We decided to share the limoncello cake which was lemony and not overly sweet. Our server was Bella and she did a great job! When we asked about ingredients, she checked with the chef and made sure we were able to steer clear of troublesome ingredients. She was attentive and professional.

We enjoyed our food and our waiter was very kind and friendly. I think the place is also nice and cozy. Definitely try their ravioli! We tried the Lobster ravioli and it was great! Their grilled chicken kabob was so delicious, too. I think the prices are reasonable and if you are looking for a good meal during your shopping, Mezzet can be a good choice.

I never post reviews but the horrible experience at this restaurant forced me to post so that other people can make wise decision. 1st time to the restaurant. The owner/chef is VERY RUDE and unprofessional. I went there with my daughter and i asked one of the server if we have to wait to be seated or we can sit anywhere as the restaurant was not crowded at all. She told me to sit anywhere! Me and my daughter sat and when my husband came to join us the owner started saying in loud voice that i will not be able to serve you for 30-40mins since you came and sat by yourself. And when i tried to explain him that it was one of his server who told us to sit anywhere, instead of listening to us and trying to solve the confusion as a professional, he started screaming on us and said i will not serve you!! Is this the way you treat your customers!!! You were not even that busy! The restaurant was half empty! If you can't even handle few people at your restaurant, you should train yourself and your staff better. I would honestly give zero stars if google let me!

I would put zero stars if I could. Terrible service, terrible food, overpriced. My husband is a garbage disposal that never leaves food on the table and he left almost the whole pizza. It was definitely a frozen pizza purchased for $1 that they are trying to pass as restaurant food. All our meals came out at different times. This is the worst meal I have had in a long time, maybe ever. Do not eat here.
