This post is long over due. In fact, to be honest, at least 3 months over due. A couple of my girlfriends and I had a catch up dinner at Mezza Tapas in early September, a month after it opened, just because it's new, it's tapas and it's in Mount Lawley, central to all of us. The decoration and the interior design of this place is a little awkward with the stairs right in the centre of the building, which happens to lead to the bar. This just calls for a little OHS and a lot of potential drunken incidences. Apart from that the seats were comfortable, granted we were on the massive couch, service was friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The wine list wasn't extensive but we did discover a beautiful spanish red wine.
Between the 3 of us we opted for over-indulgence and full face-stuffing resulting in ordering 5 delicious tapas, one bread, and 2 desserts. All of which were pretty good. Although the highlight of the evening is most definately the pork belly, very well cooked, the crackling was well crackled, the pork tender and juicy. And the dessert? the creme brulee had real vanilla beans through it and the huge slab of chocolate was frozen and a little hard to cut, definately something none of us had before.
Salmon croquette - which according to Michelle looks like fish fingers, and I have to agree with her on that, but trust me it didn't taste like fish fingers!!
This was goats cheese something, it was an interesting texture, very yummy
our "healthy" dish for the evening, grilled eggplant, capsicium and zucchini
salsa beef balls
our bread and olive oil
crackling pork!
creme brulee with almost like fairy floss and tequilla ice-cream!
our chunk of chocolate thing with fried bread slices.
Overall, we quite liked the ambience of the place, even though we were somewhat in the centre of the room, it was cosy, felt like we were the only ones there and the service was attentive, although it can be a little slow at times, prossibly because it seemed to be understaffed, I only ever saw 2 girls running around serving everyone, a little ridiculous?!? The food, it wasn't mind-blowing, but it wasn't tragic, definately a good catch up location with the girls.
