I’ve been coming to Mez every time I’m in Byron. The service is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is lovely—it attracts everyone from young groups to mature couples enjoying the Mediterranean/Moroccan menu.
However, my last dinner was disappointing food-wise. The fish of the day crudo was yellowfin tuna in mango sauce with potato crisps and finely chopped tomato-onion topping. I found it quite bland and lacking zing. The portion was small too, even for one person, let alone for sharing as the menu suggests all plates are designed to do.
The market fish was snapper—I was served a pan-fried snapper tail, again quite bland, with one kipfler potato underneath swimming in a familiar tomato-onion vinaigrette, this time with olives on top. The vinaigrette released so much liquid that it made what I assume was supposed to be crispy fish skin disappointingly soggy.
The chocolate crème brûlée was quite nice: soft and creamy with a thin sugar crust sprinkled with salt flakes.
Pricing is in line with other ‘trendy’ dining spots in Byron, but the quality doesn’t meet the average anymore, which is a shame because this used to be one of my favorite places.
