Greek Tapas in Worcester

Greek Tapas in on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, MA

Greek Tapas in on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, MA
Even on a Tuesday night Mezé Greek Tapas Bar & Grille  was bustling and busy. My husband and I ordered several items off the menu to share. The Grape Leaves were just what we expected them to be, little rice filled yummy wrapped leaves with a tart, lemon sweet flavor. The Grilled Octopus was grilled to perfection, drizzled with a hint of balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing and salt. The Meze Pikilia appetizer plate had five different dips of which the standouts were the eggplant, caviar, and whipped feta. On a return trip I would order this again and feel full and content. My hubby loved the Pantzaria Salata, a big plate full of roasted beets top with olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon and other herbs and flavor enhancements. All in all, Mezé was great with a extremely friendly and accommodating waitstaff and delicious Greek food which we shared and truly enjoyed.

House Grind Burger with Focaccia Roll

Entering The Fix Burger Bar I got the feeling of high energy, a little loud but very dynamic. This feeling made me want to grab a drink and have a good time with friends and enjoy life.

A friendly server asked us immediately upon entering if they could assist us. Our party had already arrived and were having a drink at the bar so we made our way to them.

Our table and companions for the evening was quite large with around 15 people.  The server assigned to us was likable and friendly, she was attentive but I felt some of the service with receiving our orders was a little slow the waitress apologized several times and told us the kitchen was overwhelmed (plus, we did have a large party in addition to the restaurant being full). I totally understood and the restaurant made up for the long time in receiving our order; I felt they did everything they could to make our meal enjoyable.

I am a huge fan of red sangria and was not disappointed when I ordered my first glass.

Being known for their burgers I had to order one. I chose the house grind combination for my burger with a focaccia roll and I chose to have it with blue cheese and crispy fried prosciutto. It was cooked exactly how I ordered it: “medium”.  I chose the veggie fries to go with it; they were a combination of summer squash, zucchini and eggplant. They were lightly battered and thinly sliced. An excellent choice if you do not want to go with the usual French fry option.

We had several appetizers brought out to us as we waited for our meals to be served. The Polenta “tots” or nuggets were amazing. Crisp and deep-fried on the outside with creamy polenta and cheese on the inside. The short rib nachos were another hit with shredded meat and BBQ sauce over crisp tortilla chips.

Overall, a fun place to grab a burger and a drink with friends.
