Mezza Luna
 

I have eaten at Mezza Luna 6 times since they have opened. Four times for lunch and two for dinner. All 6 meals were very good. The service was slow a couple of times but we were not upset. It just gave us more time to visit with friend that we were with. Ate lunch there today and the service was very good. We will keep returning to Mezza Luna for quality meals.

Tierra Del Sol.....went with a group of people. ...was charged a $5 "Split" fee for a $10 hamburger which was not very good.....and all they did was bring out an extra plate....when I questioned the owner, he very sarcastically told me that if I wanted it split then I should have asked waiter to split it when I ordered it. Who would have thought of that....then I was told if I wanted free entertainment I should go to square......nasty attitude by manager and mediocre service will cause me to never go back there again.

I really don't blame restaurants for charging a hefty split fee. You're taking up space, using dishes, and causing server work, for which there is no tip. It's just cheap. Why not each order something and take leftovers home? Good for lunch the next day. Turn your oven on to 200 degrees and reheat for ten minutes. JMHO

15 of us went to Mezza Luna tonight after golf. First group got there about 4:30...no problem getting two tables of 8 and seating people as we arrived. To a person, everyone raved about their food. Service was excellent and timely. Server went out of her way to assist one in our group who needed gluten free. Will definitely be back!!!

Read the above two posts.............................then go and decide for yourself.
Ever wonder why opinions are so wide apart?

THAT is very sensible. I hope they do what you suggest.

Went for dinner on Tuesday night. Arrived around 4:45 and was told a 45 minute wait. The place was packed. Since we are retired, and don't have a curfew, we waited outside with alot of very nice patient people. We all had a great time. It only took about 30 minutes to get a table. The waitress was great, explained a few items we had questions on and everything went smoothly. We had a booth that was well lite and even though it was noisy we had no trouble hearing each other. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Am excited about getting a new restaurant that isn't a typical chain.

Well, it could be that people have different expectations about the quality of service and preparation of food.

Or, the restaurant just may be having start-up growing pains and service and preparation will smooth out as time goes on.

We usually wait till the bumps are all ironed out before going to a new place--kind of like not buying a car the first year that a new model is introduced.

Tierra del Sol thread is that way. --------->

What? I thought it was this way. <---------> http://smileyshack.files.wordpress.c...ng_100-101.gif

A group of us went for lunch on Nov 21 2013. Pizza oven down, slow service, dishes very, very skimpy, lasagna was cold and "thin" (thought it may be chicken parm!), Wrong lunch brought to one of us, meat on sandwich was hard to find, the 1/2 meatball sandwich had one small meatball cut in half placed on hero with too much sauce. Maybe one person out of eleven thought it was okay. They have a very long way to bring the food, service and value up to just an okay rating.

Went last night. Sat and ate at the bar. Our meals were delicious. The place was packed with a lot of people waiting outside. Everyone seemed to be having a good time and enjoying everything. We were there for quite some time as we were enjoying some drinks as well. We think it's a great place. Ran into several friends and they all liked their meals.

Bonny, have you ever met a restaurant you didn't like??? ;) sorry , couldn't help myself, my bad

For an outstanding meatball parm hero try Legends Cafe on 27-441 in Fruitland park, the best that i've had......

Don't be silly. You know you can't get there from here.

Of course I can't get there from where you are. So who's the silly goose now?:duck:
