Mez restaurant

I went to the Mez with a group of work mates one night after a work function that didn't exactly feed us very much.

Mez restaurant is a Mediterranean restaurant on the corner of Parker street and James street, you know that building with the stairs at the front.

The restaurant is loud, it's stuffy (as in hot.. no room to breathe stuffy) and the service leaves little to be desired.

As for the food? It was in agreement that the food wasn't bad, but it wasn't fantastic. Although, I lean towards bad, because I ordered the sizzling garlic prawns and the prawns were still a little hard - and was drenched in OIL. I couldn't taste anything else except oil. In fact I couldn't finish it at all. Clearly, sizzling prawns were not their dish to have at this place.

One of the girls had the souvlaki (pork) and she said it was marinated will, although not extremely tender, she said the dish was filling and enjoyed her meal.

The Lamb Kleftiko - the slow roasted lamb chunks were delicious and filled with flavour, but they were rather reserved on their serving portion.

Another one of the girls had the grilled calamari tossed through with garlic and flamed with ouzo, she said the calamari flavours were delish but it was a little chewy.

The Mez is loud - to the point where you are almost shouting at one another and the service is less than desirable with the food taking almost 30-45minutes to arrive to our table of four. For the price you pay and for what you get (in terms of quantity and quality) there are a lot better places in Perth than Mez.
