Very good.

My family have been diners at Red Mezze for the past 10 years and in all that time we have never had a meal which was not of the highest standard, the staff are all lovely and helpful and always give a warm and genuine greeting to everyone. I love this restaurant and would recommend eating here, you will never be disappointed.

Been 1/2 dozen times now, one of my favourite restaurants.

I have eaten at the restaurant a few times and had always enjoyed the food. However, on our visit on Wednesday 26th August I must confess I was disappointed. My wife’s starter was over cooked and our main course came 2 minutes after our starters were served. When we refused to take the food it was presented to 2 other tables who also refused. When it did come back 15 minutes later you could tell it had been reheated and both our meals had dried out. It was a shame especially as Inhad raved to my wife about the food. It was her first time

Visited during Eat Out to Help Out. There couldn’t have been fewer social distancing if they tried. It is too crammed with tables. I had to stand up and reach for our drinks from the staff who couldn’t even get between two tables to bring them to us. The food was lovely. They didn’t ask if we wanted dessert (which we did). They had added two glasses of house Red to our bill, which we didn’t have. Had to go to the busy bar to sort it out. No apology for their mistake.

Amazing food and lovely staff :)

Oh I just love this place, I sat with a cold beer, lamb cutlets and just enjoyed my chill out time.... the place was absolutely heaving and the staff were buzzing ... but all in a good way ... I really enjoy coming here and the staff are always lovely ... defo recommend

We had the most amazing meal tonight. staff where so lovely and it made me feel at ease watching them making sure every table and surrounding areas where all cleaned properly after every guest had left . we will be back thank you so much for a lovely night 10/10

We ate hear as a family of four for the very first time on Monday and will definitely be returning. Food was exceptional and very well priced(even better value with eat out to help out). Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant service and the food was amazing as per usual , social distancing measures were convenient and the staff were extremely friendly 10/10 recommendation

Great food. Staff do an excellent job as it's very, very busy. Definitely recommend it

Food was truly delicious, the wait staff were friendly and the food/drinks came in a perfectly timely manner. We were even given a complimentary dessert which was really appreciated. My only complaint was that we were seated by the bar and near the kitchen - it was a really noisy environment for two people trying to have dinner and a chat.

Visited during the eat out help out scheme. It was crazy busy but the staff were very friendly and showed us to a table straight away and took our orders. Drinks came straight away but you did wait a little longer for food although it was definitely worth it! Food was amazing my boyfriend cleared his plate and the staff were still smiling despite the restaurant being full to capacity. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again to try the rest of the menu.

We went during the eat out to help. I have to say it was quite manic the poor staff couldn’t keep up. We were sat outside, good job the weather was ok or we would have waited over our booking time. A que of people who had booked was getting bigger and bigger, clearly taking too many bookings, also a lot of deliveries waiting to collect which I think made the situation worse. But food here is really good you can’t fault the chef, and I’m not criticising the staff they were trying their best but there was a few issues. Would definitely recommend but be prepared for delays during this offer.

Absolutely appalling experience at this restaurant. Went in during the eat out to help out scheme so expected to be busy but this was ridiculous! Got told to order our sides as starters so the kitchen could catch up which we agreed to, waited 30 mins for our drinks which by the sounds of it they hadn’t even been asked for at the bar as we had to remind them on our order. 1 hour 10 mins later we eventually asked where our starters were and were rudely asked who served us then the waiter came back over, with a menu and asked us the repeat our order so it hadn’t been given to the kitchen! A gentleman came in before us mortal drunk asking for his 7:15 table baring in mind it was 8oclock and he managed to get served straight away! This was our first time at the restaurant and we can ensure we won’t be back! Can’t even rate the food as we didn’t get any, ended up leaving. Total waste of time

No idea why we’ve not tried here before! The restaurant is much bigger than it looks from outside. Open kitchen , friendly welcome at the bar, authentic surroundings. The food was fresh, and extremely tasty. The staff we’re very mindful of covid guidelines Can’t wait to go back !

Great food, visited during eat out to help out and the staff were running around like headless chickens. They couldn’t cope with the demand so service majorly slacked. We were brought incorrect drinks, incorrect meals and things were just totally forgotten and just not brought to the table for things we asked for - sauce/bread etc. Other tables were experiencing this too. Once we did get the correct food it was fantastic and tasted great. Waiters were wearing masks for Covid but it was either just on their chin or just on their mouth which obviously defeats the point. I’d rather they just didn’t wear than wear them than only wearing for the sake of it - it looked uncomfortable. Clear screens were up in the restaurant but again not consistent as we had a screen next to one side of us but the other side we did not and were far less than 1m apart. Appreciate it is a small restaurant so doing there best. I would rather visit during a quieter time and pay more for better service instead. The hassle wasn’t worth the money saved from the Gov scheme.

Service and food second to none top notch atmosphere was also really good however one thing you need to be upfront regarding your service charge added to the bill without telling your customer I always leave a tip if I think I have good food and service any way but that is customer choice not yours.will definitely be back thanks
