Mezze on the River

I had such a wonderful time dining at this riverfront spot! Whether you’re seated indoors or out, you get a lovely view of the water, but the outdoor setup in the winter is what truly makes it special. They’ve transformed their outdoor dining area with cozy heated tents, draped in white and blue Christmas lights, creating the most festive and romantic atmosphere. Even in the cold, the outdoor seating is warm and inviting thanks to the heating and thoughtful décor. It’s perfect for a holiday night out with friends, a date, or just a peaceful meal by the water. Their drinks are also top-notch, creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. This place really captures the seasonal spirit and is definitely a must-visit if you’re looking to enjoy great food and drinks with a stunning wint

I had an amazing time at Mezze on the River with my girlfriend. We stopped by for dinner and got to enjoy the beautiful sunset, it was the perfect setting for a memorable evening. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made us feel truly welcomed. The drinks were outstanding, beautifully crafted with flavors that were perfectly balanced. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the Wagyu steak, and it was cooked to perfection, tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best steaks I’ve had in a while. My server, Melanie, was fantastic. She explained the menu thoroughly and recommended the Flying Octopus, which really impressed us and added a fun, memorable twist to our meal. I also want to give a special shoutout to the managers, Alysha and Ant

Had a splendid afternoon at Mezze on the River, soaking in the beautiful waterfront views from the terrace with my family. We barely made it for Happy Hour, which was just okay—not much to rave about. The food was decent overall. The highlight was definitely the Amalfi Seafood Pasta Al Cartoccio—served in a parchment bag, it was light yet packed with flavor from the mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari in a garlic white wine sauce. A lovely dish that felt fresh and well-balanced. The Oven Roasted Salmon had a nice crisp on the outside and was moist inside, but it leaned a bit too oily for my taste. The Fried Calamari came with two sauces (rustic tomato and lemon-caper yogurt), but the breading didn’t hold up well and felt greasy. The Crispy Crab Croquettes were fine, though nothing memorab

When we arrived, we were immediately greeted by the manager, Arni, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. I stopped by with my friend, and we were definitely not disappointed. The food was amazing, and Catalina was so sweet, she took the time to explain all the dishes to us, which made the experience even better. These two truly made our visit memorable. The bartender really knew what he was doing, every drink he made was a work of art. The Mediterranean Flame was incredible, and the Ladylike cocktail was just as impressive. I also highly recommend the tuna spoons it was one of my absolute favorites of the night.

On our first trip to New York with family, we decided to turn one evening into a special dinner outing, pairing business with memory-making. We stayed at the Marriott in Manhattan and took a taxi down to Mezze on the River, using Google Maps to guide us. We reserved a table ahead via the Google app, which made things smooth from the start. We opted to sit close to the waterfront just in time to watch the sun dip behind the skyline and the view was breathtaking. The Hudson gleamed as the light softened, and the whole family was struck by how beautiful the setting was. As for the food, it was outstanding. I ordered a lobster pasta dish where the lobster (shell and all) sat right on the plate, and it was delectable rich, flavorful, and elegant. My wife had the same, and we both could not sto
