Recently I got married, and we had our rehersal dinner at MezzaNotte. Before this, my wife and I decided to try out the place as we had never really heard of it.
The service was very good, though we were one of only two or three couples in the restaurant at the time. The waitress went to the bar and wrote down the name of the house Reisling after my wife inquired about it, which was nice.
The food was very good. My wife had some kind of lobster ravioli and I had some kind of lasagna that was a little different than what you get at most Italian places, and this was a welcomed and tasty departure. The portions were perfect.
I was impressed enough with the place the move forward with having our rehersal dinner there.
The owner (I can't remember her name) was very helpful with the planning and details (or so says my father who organized it). We had about 30 people at the dinner and found everything to be perfect. There was tons of food, the appetizers were all quite good though the bruchetta was a bit crispy for my taste. We had a choice of three entrees: salmon, chicken and steak - I tried all three dishes and they were all very good. The food came out in a timely and organized manner, and the waitstaff was SUPER friendly. Everything was great for the dinner and I really credit MN for running a good show as far as catering / events go.

The appetizers we got weren't terrible - in fact they gave me some hope. The spring-rolls or what-have-you were perfectly crisp and the calamari was not chewy, and nicely deep fried.
Ordered prik-paw-something-or-other and the chicken tasted like it had been thrown in boiling water, and then taken out and SMOTHERED with some kind of bland stir-fry-in-a-bag sauce. Veggies weren't awful, but seriously this tasted like unsuccessful chinese food I cook at home.
The service was actually really good. Our waiter(s) were frequent, friendly, and the bartender even came over to fix my wife's drink (which wasn't bad - my wife is just a lightweight). You don't see that happen very often. Five stars to them! Zeros to the food.
