Bustling port-side Greek taverna with standout meze and grilled fish, generous portions, and fair prices—though peak-time waits and occasional seafood inconsistency can frustrate.
Meze *2 delivers reliable harborfront dining with strong food quality in fresh grilled fish and meze and warm, attentive service. However, quality varies noticeably during peak service, with reports of reheated seafood and texture inconsistencies preventing a higher grade. The sunset harbor setting and generous portions make it a solid neighborhood choice, though not among the region's premier seafood destinations.
Right on the harbor promenade, Meze *2 hums with sunset energy and plate after plate of shareable meze. Service is generally warm and efficient, with complimentary yogurt or a sweet sip to finish. One diner put it simply: "The sardines were perfect and the meze bright and fresh." The cooking leans classic Greek seafood rather than flashy, with local specialties like salatouri and gouna alongside crowd-pleasers such as saganaki and fava. Portions are generous and prices fair for the waterfront, though a few guests found some seafood pastas inconsistent at peak rush. Families do well here thanks to a real kids menu (spaghetti, nuggets, meatballs) and plenty of simple sides. Adventurous seafood options abound, but even cautious eaters can stick to fries, salads, and cheese dishes while still enjoying the harbor view.
