⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved everything about Mezcal. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and thoughtfully put together. The attention to detail throughout the entire experience was truly on point. Our server, Dan, was phenomenal! He was attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable, and offered fantastic recommendations for both food and drinks. His service really elevated the entire experience and made us feel well taken care of. The spinalis is an absolute MUST-HAVE. Everything we had was delicious, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. Between the outstanding service, amazing food and drinks, and welcoming atmosphere, Mezcal truly nailed it. We loved every minute and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

5 of us did Tuesday night Girls Night Out. Ambiance was very welcoming. Tables were set nicely. Started w drinks. Charcuteries were served immediately then onto the appetizers, giving time in between each to enjoy conversation. Dessert was pumpkin ice cream which was delicious. Would highly recommend this place for an evening out with the girls.

This was our third attempt at finding a restaurant open on this Sunday evening and then I remembered this storefront restaurant from over 20 years ago. I always heard good things, but never got here since they expanded and made it so pleasurable for dining. I loved how there was room between the tables so people are not on top of each other. The dining area is very nice and there is even a room for small parties. We were greeted with a friendly smile and our server was excellent. Thank you, Enrique, for sharing your opinions about the foods we asked about and we were certainly pleased with our main entree selections and the beautiful presentations. I ordered the halibut special with herbed seasoning and the zucchini shrimp risotto was superb. I thought there would be baby shrimp, but better yet, full size chunks cut up small. It was so tasty and the portion was plentiful but I did take half home because I had salad before. My friend ordered the regular shrimp dish on the menu less the chili spices and she loved it. Everything is prepared the way you ask and things can be deleted. The bread was just average in my opinion, but everything else was superb and look forward to dining here again. The prices were fair and affordable for this moderate upscale restaurant. I loved that they paced the meals and food did not come out in a speedy fashion. Although we did not have dessert, the ones that was coming out to other tables looked delicious. Highly recommend Taormina!

Moonshine is my go to for brunch. It's been favorite for over 5 years. Victor and the staff are very warm and welcoming. The menu has a good variety of drink and food options. They keep it lively with good music as well as keeping the sports fan happy with TVs showing your favorites. Hoping for their continued success.

Great meal. We asked for something special with scallops and got a special prepared plate. The watermelon appetizer was a great start. Don’t be afraid to ask Moe or the kitchen to prepare something special for you.
