We had a great dinner of small sharing plates at Meza. The food and service was great and the staff was really friendly. We sampled a couple of beers before deciding what to have. Remember to leave space for the amazing desserts!

What a gem of a restaurant this is. We tried many dishes and all were superb in taste and presentation with a focus on healthy eating. They have many tap beers which are also very good. Service was fast and efficient. There was live music also. A restaurant worth visiting.

Food was wonderful and the wine selection was quite solid too. Enjoyed everything I had. It was very busy when we arrived, so we put in our order and had a drink standing at the bar. They were able to seat us pretty quickly. Food took a bit given it was busy, but nothing unexpected.

Really good food at a very unassuming location. Went around 8pm on a long weekend Saturday and were given a table in 10 minutes (albeit at the patio). Ordered the Meza bowl with Falafel and the Cauliflower appetizer, both of them delicious (although I missed some kind of carbs with it). But would go again in a heartbeat!

A favorite of ours in Winthrop for many years. Real chefs that know how to prepare tasty veggies and meat dishes. Plenty of brews on tap. Always great service. Very nice folks.

We had a small rehearsal dinner here for our wedding and the food, staff, and ambiance were all incredible. They were attentive, easy to work with, and put up with me and my noisy family. I couldn’t have been happier and would absolutely consider hosting events here again in the future!!

Very earthy and cool place in the little rustic downtown of Winthrop! We reached around 7.30 pm on a Sunday night and hardly see any restaurant open, well lucky us, only Meza was open by the time we took off to eat, around 8.30 pm! Very nice owner and server attended to us and brought us yummy food! I would always go to Meza to eat, whenever I go to Winthrop excellent !
