Though meze dishes can be served as appetizers, their tradition dates back to ancient Greece, where meze dishes had a two-fold purpose: to enhance the taste of the drink (wine, ouzo, raki, etc.), and to provide a foundation for a social gathering and stimulating conversation. Today, great conversations can always be heard over the din of inspirational dining at NeoMeze. Offering sophisticated late night dining in Pasadena, CA, this swanky lounge setting features a relaxing indoor/outdoor bar with a spacious dining room to match. NeoMeze's contemporary menu, conceived by Executive Chef MaryAnn Salcedo from Fox's hit series "Hell's Kitchen," boasts the timeless art of meze dishes with classic Mediterranean elegance. A mixed arrangement of banquet and lounge seating makes NeoMeze a cozy place to gather with friends, enjoy an intimate meal and try unique specialty drinks served by a friendly and knowledge staff. With an eclectic selection of lounge music, a mouth-watering menu and chic architectural design, NEOMEZĒ has fast become the new "it" spot in Pasadena.
