You can get a far better meal in Manhattan for considerably less. Perhaps Jennifer and her fiance were bombed when they left and that's why the meal was so expensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17937937.post-27182568853707369132007-03-14T20:41:00.000-04:002007-03-14T20:41:00.000-04:00Responding to Jennifer, I'm glad she had a good ex...Responding to Jennifer, I'm glad she had a good experience, and I am rooting for Mezza Notte as I'd like to see our area develop more places like this (non-routine cuisine). ... Hmm ... Routine Cuisine ... that's gotta be brandable. :-)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I disagree with Jennifer about relative pricing. There are only a handful of restaurants around here in this price range, including 677 Prime, and maybe Cabernet Cafe. I'd review all of them, but I try to limit my 3-figure dining experiences.<BR/><BR/>I find the food at D'Raymonds, Italian Community Center, and Aromi to be better and less expensive. But I will try Mezza Notte again to give it another shot.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I didn't think the service was any better than other places. The staff were good, but if you spend $30 per person in this area you will get excellent service.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942422727278141113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17937937.post-73547938418448325012007-03-13T17:17:00.000-04:002007-03-13T17:17:00.000-04:00I couldn't disagree more with this review.

We also had a round of drinks at the bar first, and compared to other restaurants in the capital district, I thought thier wine list selection was outstanding and very reasonably priced. We shared the calamari, which is one of the best I've ever had. I had the scallop special and he had the filet, cooked med-rare. I loved the pasta and thought it was very flavorful and the scallops were cooked perfectly. He also enjoyed his filet very much. Our total bill, including tip was 160.00 which for a fine-dining establishment such as this is not at all unreasonable. I could underdstand if the bill for the 4 of you was over 300, but for this level of cooking and service, you have to expect to spend a little more than say for example, TGI Fridays. I think MezzaNote is a wonderful restaurant and hope it does very well in the future. I also cannot wait to return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17937937.post-86235261757782017102007-03-12T13:25:00.000-04:002007-03-12T13:25:00.000-04:00Very interesting review.

I think I'll wait to see how you like them again before I venture out there.Albany Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860306399700516367noreply@blogger.com
