Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Arverne

Mesiba is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. I took friends who were visiting from out of town here and we had the best time—we didn’t want to leave. The food was delectable, the service friendly, the ambience funky and cool, and the vibes immaculate. When I visited it was the fourth night of Hannukah and the whole restaurant sang together, which in these trying times was very healing for my soul. This is a new favorite of mine that I plan to return to again and again.

Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.

Excellent Christmas Eve dining experience with superb food, service and a festive atmosphere to top everything off. We went the route of all appetizers, which were cooked to perfection and bursting was amazing flavor. The hand-crafted cocktails were equally terrific and the 12 days of Christmas drink menu was genius and had a wonderful array of choices!! Two thumbs up for creativity and a way to set yourself apart from the rest of the field for holiday dining.

Everything from the baked clams, fried calamari and stuffed mushrooms to the halibut, chicken sorrentino and rigatoni with mushrooms was delicious. Desserts were overrated and quite expensive for what they were. $15 for a slice of Italian cheesecake, really? Server was excellent!

I really enjoy dining at Mera, everyone is so friendly. The ambiance is amazing and the vibe is chill, cocktails are as amazing as the bartender who makes them! Food is great amazing selection to choose from will be returning (If I don’t go I call for carry out)
