Review Summary

Mesón earns praise for attentive service and a warm, convivial atmosphere that can feel quaint and intimate or lively depending on the night. The tapas and brunch scenes are lauded for flavor and shareability, with standout items such as pulpo a la gallega, secreto iberico, gravlax, saumon mariné, croquetas, and paella, though the paella is sometimes too salty or not up to par. Desserts divide opinions, with the Basque cheesecake disappointing some while the éclair is a recommended finish. Prices are viewed as reasonable for the overall quality by many, yet some feel value is uneven and portions or quality have fluctuated as prices rise. Service is described as impeccable and attentive in many visits, but a few experiences note colder or rushed service and changes in atmosphere. Music can be loud, occasionally affecting conversation. Overall Mesón is seen as a solid neighbourhood spot for gatherings with friends or family, offering good food, strong drinks, and a welcoming vibe, with some variability in dishes and consistency across visits.

Dommage un endroit où on permet le vapottage & si l'on s'en plaint , au lieu de dire que c'est interdit, on prévient la contrevenante que cela dérange certaines personnes. Ce qui m'a valu des regards courroucés. Bravo ! Manque de tact.

Cuisine excellente & originale.
Service impeccable.
Maître d' déplaisant, sans convivialité; cela frise l' impolitesse. Dommage...

I recently dined here with my daughter & niece, & it was an excellent experience. My daughter has multiple allergies, & the staff was incredibly attentive, taking extra care to avoid any cross-contamination. They even overheard that we were celebrating my niece's birthday & surprised us by adding a candle to her dessert without us even asking. The service, ambiance, & food were all fantastic. Highly recommend!

Bel atmosphère & personnel très accommodant. Belle cuisine avec un emplacement où il est facile de trouver un stationnement. Le seul hic, le service y est un peu long, peut-être parce que le restaurant était bondé de groupes. Belle adresse!

Amazing neighborhood restaurant..with strong Spanish influences/ flavours. Great place for a cocktail or shareable tapas ... the food is utterly delicious & the filtered night time vibe, at the bar, is just perfect.

First time at Mesón & it definitely landed in my top favorite tapas spots. Aside from the impeccable service, the food was just as good! We ordered the tartare de res, Atún en crosta, Paella a la Mesón & churros - eeeeeeverything was so flavorful! Will be back :)
