Meso Modern Mediterranean - San Andreas

I had booked the reservation indicating that we were celebrating a friend’s birthday and they told me on the phone that they would bring a complimentary dessert, but that never happened:

The staff was very attentive and there were plenty of options to choose from on the menu.

Food was pretty good even with limited dinner menu. Ambience and service was good.

We came here for dinner to celebrate my friend’s birthday. 11 adults and a 10 month old. Restaurant had no issues accommodating us all and had a high chair ready to go. First time there for all of us. We are family style so ordered various dishes. Birthday girl loved everything. For appetizers, we ordered: crispy Brussel sprouts, roasted cauliflower, Falafel bites, trio of dips and fried artichoke flatbread. Every single one was delicious. Brussel sprouts were probably my favorite. Had the Orchard Kale salad. It was good albeit a tad salty. Just make sure folks like kale as some in our group didn’t so if I had known that, I would have ordered a different salad. For entrees, we ordered: Branzino a la plancha, 2 full brick chicken orders, sausage risotto, and gypsy pepper rellenos with sides of rice pilaf and roasted potatoes. The branzino was tasty and perfect. The birthday girl loved it and she knows her fish. The pepper rellenos were also very good and a favorite but it was small so for a party of 12, should have ordered at least 3. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Risotto wasn’t my favorite but everyone else at the table loved it and it went quick. Potatoes won out over the rice pilaf. Group was surprised at how good the potatoes were. Bottom line- food was great and everyone enjoyed it. Service was hit or miss. They were very attentive initially and great at asking for drink orders and refills of said drinks. But at times they would disappear. We would have to ask for someone to come by. But everyone was nice. Luckily we were not in a hurry. All in all, we all would go back. Great atmosphere. Right in Santana Row so can go out for drinks and dancing afterwards or just hang out making it super convenient.

Great food and ambience! Everything is so tasty I love the small plates!
