The service is always good 👍🏼 but I tell you - the Turkey Burger is what keeps me coming back for more!!! Sweet potato fries are to die for…. And THE BEST OLD FASHIONED in town.

we needed a quick bite prior to a concert at the Greek and Messhall delivered! The food was served promptly and it was delicious (especially the oysters). Parking is also available for those that choose not to deal with "stacked" parking at the Greek. A quick Uber up the hill and you're there!

We have eaten here several times before a concert at the Greek. As always, the food was delicious! Probably as an answer to Covid outdoor dining, a structure was built in the parking lot. It was haphazardly constructed, and not the best of atmospheres. Not sure why we were put out there, as we had a reservation and the inside was empty when we arrived. It was hot out, but there was a breeze so it was better than expected. The service, however was very rushed. We had planned a leisurely dinner, but the staff was literally pulling our glasses and plates out from under us before we were finished. We finally had to ask to give us a minute to digest one course before getting to the next. We’ve not experienced this here before so it was disappointing. But at least the food is still great.

Preshow dinner before heading to the Greek- great location . Service friendly and attentive. Pretty limited menu but good options for most tastes. Hubby had a terrific Cobb salad and I tried the porridge with pork belly. Both excellent.

Everything was great. I know there is inflation... and maybe is why the prices are so high for some items. Like $16 for a glass of wine.

Overall an excellent meal. The house salad was delectable, my husband loved the oysters and the salmon plate, which he said was the best salmon that he ever had. I also enjoyed the scallops, although I found the grits a bit too heavy. (The option of some vegetables instead would have been lovely.) The nectarine cobbler for desert was also excellent, as was the outstanding service.

Everything about our experience at Messhall Kitchen was great. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food and drinks were creative, delicious, and high quality. It was one of those experiences where more visits are to follow. I’m very much looking forward to going back.

Ate here prior to a concert at the Greek Theatre. Reservation was honored on time, service friendly and efficient, and food was good. Can leave car here and walk up to the Greek which is a good option to avoid stacked parking.

The food was great! The service was attentive… attentive to the point of making us feel rushed. We were asked three times if we were done, and we weren’t. We weren’t offered dessert, coffee, or an after dinner drink, and we would have ordered all three. The bill for 3 people was over $225.00. For that price, I expect a more relaxed dining experience not an “eat and leave, we need the table” attitude. And there were several open tables.

Not only was the service OUTSTANDING (our server & busboy) but we were almost 30 minutes late b/c of an accident West bound on the 101 & Vermont and the hostess sat us right away. For dinner, we shared "THE CATCH" $79.00 (under Begin) - Half dozen oysters, half dozen shrimp, crab salad, tuna tartare tostada, salmon poke, various sauces, lemons. The cocktail sauce was not your ordinary flavorless red sauce, it seemed house made. It was a bit spicy and tangy. The mustard was amazing. The shrimp were large fresh and plump and my favorite was the salmon poke. The CRAFT COCKTAILS were delicious. They always are at Messhall Kitchen. This was not our 1st visit and it will not be our last. We went to an OMD concert at The Greek afterwards and it was super convenient. Apparently you can leave your car parked here at valet and walk or Uber to The Greek, next time I know not to buy the pre-paid Greek parking. Dined 05/26/2022.

Ever item from the wings to the Catch seafood platter was excellent. The only disappointment was the wine list. They specialize in mixed drinks but have limit wine selection; suggest you bring your own.

I was really hoping the biscuits were really hot, like they were the very first time I went a few months. We got regular butter and we were hoping to get the fennel butter. We had to ask for it.

Oysters were not grilled all the way and a little fishy. The ribs were absolutely amazing, the harvest salad was really good but very over priced. I would go back again for the ribs for sure. They were The best ribs ever
