“ Came here for a team dinner after work so we had a huge group. The waiter was super patient, polite and funny! The salads and Mezcal Plater was on the house and tasted super delicious! The salad comes with Greek cheese and it tasted really fresh! I ordered the Octopus and the Lamb Shank for myself, the food was super tender and juicy! I highly recommend! It normally would come in three, but we had an option to add 1 more piece so that me and my other coworker can evenly shared! For dessert, we had this vanilla ice cream choux! Super yummy and comforting after a long work day! I love this place and had a great first time experience here! ”
“ Going out to eat with my family is generally pretty tricky because the only time all 5 of us get to go is when we find a dog friendly restaurant. It's hard to find a nicer restaurant and have the cuisine be something other than the typical American food. I know Burlingame is generally very pet friendly and I didn't think it would be hard for us to walk in for dinner on a Sunday night so I had eye balled a few potential options in Burlingame. I had in mind to go around 6pm and before leaving, I decided to look to see if I could make a last minute reservation just in case. I was able to secure one for 6:30pm and we headed over. Luckily it was Sunday and not crowded like every other day, so just parked in a nearby lot and walked on over. When we got there, we let them know we had a reservation and a dog so they led us to the outdoor seating. The restaurant was crowded indoors but not that crowded outdoors, so they were able to put two of the heating lamps next to our table for extra warmth. Despite the coldish night, we didn't feel cold at all! Was a nice touch that they even have blankets on the seats too. I browsed Yelp before going so had my eye on the small mezze sampler even though I didn't see it on the menu. Best decision ever. I have no idea what each of the dips were (even after asking twice) but everything was sooooo good and paired well with the endless fresh baskets of pita bread that we kept requesting. Our entrees were delicious as well and reasonably priced. We were all super full all without breaking the bank, and as always, I didn't feel super indulgent when eating because everything felt light and healthy. Service was spectacular, the server constantly refilled our water and checked in if we were cold or needed anything else. All in all, was very happy we ended up going here and trying a new place. Big ups again for it being dog friendly and warm! ”
“ We came here for a casual lunch while shopping in dwtn Burlingame. The appetizers looked great so we ended up sharing 3 apps and a main between 2 people which was the perfect amount of food. We started with the baked prawns in tomato sauce, zucchini cakes, and grilled octopus. The prawns were my favorite in a flavorful basil and feta tomato sauce and perfect paired with the complimentary pita bread. The zucchini cakes were more zucchini balls which was a bit surprisingly and I wish they were flat and crisper as I wasn't a fan of the mushy texture. For our main, we got the grilled lamb chops with orzo. Loved the lamb which was perfectly cooked and super flavorful! We were deciding between the lamb shank or lamb chops but will have to come back to try the other dish. ”
“ Had a really excellent dinner experience here - the service went above and beyond to make our party happy and all the food was excellent. This is a higher end spot, and the prices reflect that, but it's worth it for a nice night out. We ordered a sampler of all their dips and the whole group enjoyed every single one. They are generous with the pita for dipping and one of our party is gluten intolerant so they specifically brought a plate of veggies for them to dip! They were also able to serve a cake we brought for a birthday and made us all feel well taken care of. Thank you Mykonos Meze!! ”
“ Second time here. This place absolutely crushed it. This place is my standard of what a five star spot is: great food, great service, great value. We ordered some same items from last time but also tried something new. We loved the octopus, zucchini cake, and the egg lemon soup. Our server was super attentive, collecting our empty plates and dirty napkins and refilling water and pita very quickly. The only nitpick of the night: our appetizers and side dishes came too quickly (good), by the time our main course lamb shank came out there's not much else left. We were already mostly full lol, so we had to take the lamb shank home. The appetizers and side dishes were so good we finished too quickly. Maybe pacing the dishes a little would be helpful :) ”
“ Overall great experience for a girls night out. The restaurant is beautiful, food is full of flavor and a nice crowd mix. The bar is gorgeous and staff are nice and welcoming. Only reason for 4 stars is waiter made us feel slightly rushed. We were celebrating a birthday and weren't actually welcomed to the restaurant, asked if special occasions, etc. Overall highly recommend for a good time and good food ! ”
“ I love Mykonos Meze! One of the best places to eat in Burlingame, hands down. I've come here several times and I've always been seated within minutes, even without a reservation (though I'd recommend making one just in case you want to go on a popular night, since the restaurant is usually pretty crowded). Both the interior and outside are fun and have a great vibe - you really can't go wrong! Each time I've come here, I've tried something different, and I've honestly never been disappointed. Some of my favorites include: the keftedes, the zucchini cakes, and the lamb shank. But all the dishes I've tried here have been rich, flavorful, and hearty! And because it's tapas style, it's easy to try several delicious dishes every time you go. They also offer bottomless pita bread, which is a very nice touch. The drinks are also excellent, and you could really even come just for a few cocktails if that's what you were looking for! I'm a particular fan of the Greek Mule, Smoky Smoky, and Gettin' Figgy With It. The service has also been excellent every time I've been here. I'm consistently impressed at how prompt the servers are and how fast the food and drinks are prepared, despite the fact that the restaurant is usually packed... They've clearly got their operation down to a science! If you're ever in downtown Burlingame, you owe it to yourself to try Mykonos Meze. Whenever I'm hosting people from out of town, this is the spot I take them. It's open late, the energy is always electric and bustling, and the food, drinks, and service are fantastic - what else can you ask for? ”
“ Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant staff welcomed our large party warmly and even allowed us to order drinks before everyone had arrived. During the appetizer phase, we were treated to a delicious variety of both hot and cold appetizers. The pacing was spot-on, allowing us to sample everything without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. For the entrée, I had the Branzino with a side of pilaf rice, and it was absolutely amazing, the fish was cooked to perfection. For dessert, I ordered the baklava ice cream. While I wasn't a huge fan of it (the ratio of baklava to ice cream felt a bit off), it was still a sweet and enjoyable way to end the meal. Definitely a great restaurant, and I'll be sure to visit again when I'm in the area! ”
“ I got the Moscharisia Brizola (charbroiled rib eye toped with lava salt). Our waiter was kind but when I asked what lava salt exactly is he clearly wasn't sure and just said it's "black salt". The steak itself was great and the fries were very good. The side of veggies tasted like a reheated from a frozen bag. They fill the ridge of the cutting board with oil and light it on fire which was a fun touch. You can get the greek spread as a sampler (not advertised on the menu). They were all good with half of them being standouts for me. ”
