A Night of Jazz @ Mezze

'Mezze' is a French-Mediterranean Restaurant located on Jalan Kasah in Damansara. Pakdokter had seen this restaurant being featured often on the facebook pages of Tan Sri Dr Ridzuan Bakar - pakdokter's medical school senior who regularly dined there and at times played ?piano/?saxophone at the jazz bar on the upper level of the restaurant.

Riz had posted about Jordan Rivers performing at 'Mezze' on his FB page on Friday - so pakdokter and partner finally decided to check this out.

The food at the restaurant is French-Moroccan-Mediterranean.  As such quite a number of French expats filled up the almost full-house restaurant that Saturday night. The wine list on offer was 'extensive' - from all parts of the world with prices ranging from low hundreds to a few thousands. Pakdokter must admit 'Mezze' has a good selection.

Pakdokter had the skirt striploin steak which turned out to be chewy - not surprising as this comes from the stronger bundle of meat of the cow's thighs. Pakdokter's partner ordered the lamb sausages which came on top of a handful of cous-cous, very Moroccan.

We adjourned upstairs after that for the already packed Jazz bar. Jordan Rivers had already started his first set. The black guitarist and singer was accompanied by Micheal Veerapen and his trio. The music and songs were a selection from George Benson and Bill Withers. Cover charge was RM25 ++ which came with one drink each.

 Not a bad venue for a night out - quite near to where pakdokter lives although parking in the area could be quite a problem as there are many popular restaurants in that little corner of Damansara.
