Mezzanotte - Cypress

I visited for the first time, and the food and service were both excellent.

When we walk in, it feels like we're visiting a family member's home.

In our visits, we’ve tried a variety of dishes, including lasagna, Pappardelle Bolognese, pork chop, lobster ravioli, and chicken fettuccine, along with several desserts. Everything has been excellent, and I would recommend anything on the menu. I'm particularly eager to try one of their flambé desserts since very few places still offer that spectacular dessert experience! Their Tapas Wednesdays are a real delight because you can sample several dishes at once, and they feature live music on weekends, which creates the perfect atmosphere for a wonderful meal. The musicians are always at a good volume—not too loud or intrusive. While they do get busy and service can sometimes be a bit slow—in fact, we waited an hour from ordering to receiving our food last night—we didn’t mind because we enjoyed the music and ambiance while we waited. I highly recommend making reservations, especially on weekends. My only complaint is their limited wine options by the glass, and they don’t allow patrons to bring their own wine either. I would gladly pay a corkage fee to enjoy a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc with my meal, and we would certainly visit more often if they offered it. Aside from that minor wine issue, which is a personal preference, Mezzanotte is truly a local gem. In summary, definitely make a reservation and visit on a weekend when they have entertainment!

Our table was directly behind the hostess, so we could feel the cold air each the door opened. The food wasn’t worth the high end price tag. The ambiance was more casual and less romantic. The noise level was outrageous by the time we left. Overall we were disappointed for what we paid for and will not be returning.

Celebrated our 6-year anniversary and new years in one night. Food was mostly good, wish there was a chicken option and more dessert variety. Everything was still good!
