Meze

Since 2004, this neighborhood fixture has been quiet proof that a compact dining room can deliver big, transportive flavors. Meze relies on daily-delivered seafood, fresh meats, and imported Greek ingredients to anchor its menu. While classic entrees like moussaka and spinach pie are reliably comforting, the experience is best anchored by their shareable spreads—specifically the house dips like tzatziki, tarama, and melitzanosalata served alongside hot pita bread. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and occasionally theatrical, especially when the kitchen sends out flaming trays of kefalograviera cheese to tables navigated by a remarkably friendly staff.
