The foods are very nice and with big portions. We ordered seafood and lamb chops. Servers are also very friendly and welcoming! read more

We decided to drop by for lunch. The restaurant was not full and we were seated right away. There is inside and outside seating available but we opted for the inside seating. We ordered the Lamb Riblets, Mykonos Flat Bread, and Fisherman Pasta. The Lamb Riblets were very tender and tasty. The Mykonos Flat Bread consists of herb marinated ground beef cooked in a wood-wired oven. It tasted OK. I've had better flatbreads. There was very little ground beef and not enough flavor, and the dough could be a little crispier. We did enjoy the Fisherman Pasta which consists of mussels, salmon, and prawns over linguine with a tomato fish broth. The fish sauce complimented the seafood and pasta well. The service was kind of mediocre. Just kind of going through the motions. The hostess didn't even smiled to us as we approached the entrance. She just stoically asked if we had reservations and then proceeded to bring us in. And the server wasn't much more enthusiastic either. Overall, felt the food was slightly above average with underwhelming service. read more

3.5 STARS *UNCE UNCE UNCE* I haven't been to Burlingame for dinner in a looooong time so upon arriving to Mykonos, I was surprised to find...it was poppin'! Esp when I was able to make last minute rezzies (an hour prior) and they had wide availability. The indoor dining room was packed and about 90% of the ample outdoor seating was filled. The house music was bumpin' and with the purple lighting inside, the whole vibe reminded me of Fluid Lounge in the city (iykyk). Sister resto to Roma Antica, Bottega, 'Napizza, and The Rustic in the city and Capri Lasagneria in Burlingame, Mykonos has been on my list to go to since they opened in 2020. For Burlingame standards, I found the Greek + Med fare with a full bar, to be fairly priced. They do charge a 4% hospitality fee. F O O D * Complimentary Pita Yea, it's commercial but hey, it's free and it's served warm and toasty. * Saghanaki: Pan-fried Kefalotyri Cheese w/ lemon + oregano ($14) Flamed tableside, the saghanaki makes for a great TT/reel with cheese pulls but it was just meh. It was very salty and the cast iron pan wasn't hot so the cheese quickly cooled and hardened. * Octopus w/ Greek-inspired chickpea puree ($19) Sous-vide then finished on the grill, the octopus was tender but could have used more time on the grill for a hotter temp and deeper char. The bed of chickpea puree was dry and gritty. * Lamb Riblets w/ lemon + oregano ($17) A generous portion of meltingly tender lamb riblets (5-6 bones) but I wasn't a fan of the indistinguishable brown sauce it was finished with. * Braised Lamb Shank w/ orzo & myzithra cheese ($34) A hearty comfort dish perfect for sharing, the braised lamb shank was perfectly cooked...so rich, tender, and savory with a pleasant gamey flavor. The accompanying orzo with olives was overly salty. S E R V I C E Awesome hospitality and customer service - our server was so kind, gracious and attentive with the warm manager checking in with every table. Considering how packed they were, our entire order quickly arrived and we were done in 35 minutes. A M B I A N C E Looking for club vibes? Sit indoors. Want a quieter meal with people watching? Sit outside at either the parklet, sidewalk tables, or side patio. Overall, Mykonos knows how to do lamb right! I found the food to be more reliant on salt for my preference, as I enjoy more traditional seasoning with herbs, spices, garlic, lemon, etc. 3.5 stars rounded up for the great service. read more

We stopped by Mykonos Meze on a Saturday evening, and got seated right away with no reservation. We'd heard the interior gets very loud, so we opted for the (dog-friendly) outdoor seating area. We skipped drinks and ordered food right away, starting with some Tzatziki to share. This was very tasty! Next, we shared the Lamb Riblet, Octopus, and Ouzo Mussels. The oven braised lamb riblets were solid - definitely very well-prepared. However, the Octopus was very disappointing. The texture was just so tough and rubbery, to the point where I had a hard time cutting through it. On the other hand, the Ouzo Mussels were the best dish of the evening. The sauce was so flavorful, we couldn't get enough of it! I just wish they had come with something softer than crostini to soak it up. Overall, we had a bit of a mixed experience, but I would return to try more items! read more

Mykonos Meze is a wonderful little spot for Greek food, and since I don't typically like Greek or Mediterranean cuisine, that should tell you something. Situated in downtown Burlingame just off Burlingame Avenue, the restaurant is a popular spot for shoppers to stop in. It gets quite busy during peak hours, and my group of 8 was sure to avoid any wait times by making a reservation well ahead. We came in at 6pm, didn't leave until 9pm, and had a great time absorbing the atmosphere, listening to the amazing staff describe the dishes and their histories, and generally having a good time. My group was seated outdoors. The entire area is outfitted with heat lamps as sometimes Burlingame can get quite cold in the evening, but that wasn't an issue when we were there. Our table was large, and even in the outdoor area which is shared with a driveway, we felt comfortable and not squeezed in. The food, of course, is the star. It is really, REALLY good. I had the Chilean Seabass with roasted potatoes, served atop a lemon-infused beurre blanc (pictured). It was one of the best prepared fish I've ever had! The flavors were diverse and tasty, and the fish itself was cooked to perfection. I didn't even know what beurre blanc was before I had it, and now I need to learn to make it myself. Service was outstanding. For a group of 8, we were never lacking in drinks, utensils, additional appetizers, or anything. No orders were missed, everything came out relatively quickly, and servers were very nice. Check this place out if you're into Greek food, or even if you're not, because it definitely changed my mind on the cuisine! read more

The food here is very good. The tzatziki was excellent, and the pita that came with it was decent. We also had a Greek salad, ajvar (red pepper spread, which I didn't particularly like), dolmas, which were very good, and the beef souvlaki, which was exceptional. Service was perfectly fine. My main criticism is the lunch menu, or really the lack of one. It feels like they serve essentially the same menu all day, without many of the options you'd expect at lunch: adding grilled meat to a salad, for example, or getting a gyro or souvlaki sandwich. I found that surprisingly limiting, particularly given how good the food is, and it may help explain why the restaurant wasn't busier at lunch. Because of the way the menu is structured, we ended up mostly sharing starters and then splitting one main course, which worked fine but seems like an odd way to have to build a lunch. One nice feature is the outdoor seating. The tables are shaded, and the patio faces an alley rather than the street, which makes it noticeably quieter and more relaxing. Overall, very good food, highlighted by the excellent beef souvlaki and tzatziki. I'd happily return, but I wish they offered a more conventional lunch menu. read more

Mykonos Meze is always a solid choice for Greek food! Love that they have seats inside, outside, and on their covered patio area. We always get the mezze sampler plate with all the dips, and the grilled octopus. Recently I tried the lobster risotto and that was delicious as well! It had lots of lobster within the risotto and a fresh lobster tail on top. I also like the grilled chicken thighs with farro, so simple yet tasty! read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent experience. Made a reservation for dinner and we were offered a choice of the sidewalk or side lot outdoor dining with blankets and a heater. There seemed to be quite a few parties indoors, which feels more like a club. Service was more leisurely than on previous visits due to the heavy amount of guests dining on a weeknight. Started off with the zucchini cakes and they were quite tasty. They were super flavorful and had a tasty dipping sauce that complemented this dish. The grilled octopus was gigantic and cooked to perfection, while not being rubbery. The lamb riblets were tasty as they were tender and served over a bed of arugula. The brussel sprouts were tasty, albeit a touch on the smaller side. Opted to share the chilean sea bass as the main course and it was gigantic. The sea bass was very fatty and buttery. I loved how this dish was served with some super soft potatoes and creamy spinach. The skin on the sea bass was also quite satisfying. The Galaktoboureko recommended by our waitress was merely so so. I find the version at Evvia much better. There is a 4% hospitality support charge added to the bill. read more

We came Friday evening for dinner. We had a reservation and sat outside with our little one. Susana was our server and she was amazing! We got the oven baked prawns and tirokafteri to start - so good! We love the tirokafteri and would come back just for this - so delicious! Oxtail pasta and traditional moussaka were just as delicious. From the service to the food I would definitely come back again! Everything was excellent and would highly recommend if you're craving Greek food! read more

Mykonos Meze is a wonderful, family restaurant with fantastic food in Burlingame downtown. We were looking for a place for dinner, heard rowdily happy noises from what looks like a parking lot, and found a Greek restaurant with large family groups inside and tables outside under an extension with floral decor. The place is quite pretty. We opted for a small table outside , which is much quieter. Our waiter was a bit stiff around the collar. I suspect he is an old timer, and clearly, we are not regulars. Regardless, the food is great, and the prices are reasonable. The Food: Zucchini Cake, $15 - 4.5 Stars Menu: crispy zucchini cakes with cucumber & mint-yogurt dressing These cakes are ball shaped, deep fried, and made a healthy veggie taste naughty type of good. Very yummy. Lol Tzatziki, $9 - 5 Stars Refreshing and delicious, the tzatziki is an excellent complement to the meal. Octopus, $19 - 5 Stars I really need to stop eating octopus, but when I am in a Greek or Spanish restaurant, I am weak. Grilled octopus legs are soooo good. Their version is grilled just right, not too much char, plus they smartly removed the hardened tips (common) before serving. See photo. Lamb Shank, $34 - 5 Stars Menu: aromatic braised lamb shank with orzo & myzithra cheese The lamb meat is tender and falls off the bone. It is cooked just right. Mykonos Souvlaki, $31 - 5 Stars Menu: herbs marinated tenderloin, shallot & rosemary skewers I enjoy a tasty protein and produce meal, and this dish is perfection with tender pieces of tenderloin over a pile of veggies. It is everything I want. read more

I had a cocktail date here & sat at the bar while I was waiting for my date & we decided to continue sitting at the bar because it was easier. I had the White Shadow cocktail to keep me occupied during my wait & it was nice & coconutty, & reminded me of a light pina colada. I had a Moscow Mule as my second drink & my date did too & it was a perfect mule. I didn't have a chance to try the food but I'm looking forward to my next visit when I will. Service was friendly & helpful. read more

Make reservations! Thought it would be slow for a weekday dinner, but the wait would've been 45 minutes for a table inside. Still got seated right away since bar seats and outdoor tables were available. At the bar, the bar tender was accommodating, chill, and had a great sense of humor. We ordered food right right away. Mostly apps and dips to share, which were all delightful. No notes. We were so full. The spinach flatbread has great cheese. The beans were great. The meatballs were also good. I really enjoyed the cauliflower. We were there for quite a while and made friends with one of their regulars at the bar. Overall, great food, people, and vibes. Note though that the music and lighting here feels like you're at a club, but many families were having their bday dinners and celebrations here. Definitely would come back for another fulfilling snack party. read more

The restaurant is cute and the food was good but the service made it difficult to enjoy our meal. We came for my best friends husbands birthday dinner with a party of 22, including 7 kids. We asked for more water 3 times and didn't receive a new water carafe till more than an hour later. With seven kids at the table, that wait was especially disappointing. Other requests also weren't taken care of until we asked a second time. I didn't want to bring it up during the birthday celebration, but the repeated delays really affected our experience. read more

So bomb always! Long overdue review. We went in on a Wednesday night without a reservation at about 630 pm. They said they could seat us but only outside. They have the heaters thank gosh but it was a bit chilly. The food is always bomb and the staff is always so friendly. Made sure our pita was refilled and drinks were never empty. Free baklava dessert for your birthday too! The lamb chops are a must get 10/10! read more

Food was amazing and service was amazing! Fried cheese: 4/5 A bit too salty for me but if you combine it with the pita bread, it makes a great combo. The grilled texture with the soft cheese interior was definitely delicious though. Octopus: 5/5 It was fresh, soft, and the sauce and hazelnuts really compliment the octopus flavors. Seabass: 5/5 I highly recommend trying this if you like fish. It comes in a large filet with potatoes and spinach on the bottom. The filet itself was sweet, soft, and melts in your mouth. It was cooked to perfection. The skin was seared to a crisp texture that you can eat it like a chip. read more

Not a restaurant for vegans. There's a running theme throughout my reviews: if I have to hunt and peck for dishes I can eat, I won't give more than three stars. Mykonos has only one dish marked as vegan, and it's not even a real dish. It's a cold bell pepper spread with tiny walnut pieces (acuka). The only other options are salad and cauliflower, minus the sauce/cheese/etc. I ordered the cauliflower, and well...it's literally just roasted cauliflower. My non-vegan friends liked their food, so this restaurant is probably good if you eat everything. I'd recommend sitting outside if possible. It's a little chilly, even with the heat lamps, but much better than the inside, which is super loud and crowded. We had two servers (probably entered at the end of the first server's shift). They were both attentive and welcoming. The service merits an extra star, but this was really a two-star dining experience for me. Not a fan of restaurants where my only options are plain veggie dishes and salads. The next time my friends suggest this place, I'm gonna have to say no. read more

Talk about a well run establishment. Came with about 16 people with pre-ordered entrees and apps and everything I tasted was amazing and came out seamlessly. The ribeye and lamb chops were the stars of the show but I also really enjoyed the branzini. I do not think you can go wrong here honestly. read more

This place was super packed even on a Wednesday night! Definitely recommend reservations ahead of time. Service was pretty fast for how busy they were. The seabass ($51) was amazing - the fish was so rich and buttery and flavorful, and the greens were delicious as well. The octopus ($17) was also delicious and such a treat. I thought the lamb shank was pretty good but not as tender as I would have liked. Overall the food was good but a bit pricy, especially the fries which were $10 for essentially some fries with a bit of sauce. read more

Very busy, full house Friday night evening around 7 PM. A couple hours later, it did get less busy. Drinks and appetizers came out fast. Entrees did take a little while longer to be served but I don't blame the workers for the crowd. Service was attentive (server, food runners, & bussers). My drink: Post & Beam Cabernet Sauvignon red wine - rich, full bodied, mildly sweet with a smooth, long finish. Complimented my entree very well (lamb shank). No clash in taste going from eating to drinking. Appetizers: Calamari: Not a huge fan of calamari personally but it was okay. Crispy and chewy squid inside as expected. Greek fries: Typical fries. Crispy and garnished with 2 sauces. One has a mild spice. Nothing super special but it was good as a choice of "sides" from the menu that turned into an appetizer. Had some leftover for my entree that paired well with it actually. Zucchini cakes: crispy shell on the outside but a mushy, hashbrown-like inside of a flavorful mix of vegetables. Really enjoyed this one. Would recommend it. Entrees: Mine: Lamb Shank: soft, tender, the meat melts right off the bone. The sauce is amazing. Tasteful down to the garnish. There was one end that was super fatty and slimy and then different side of the same end that was really chewy like bubblegum but other than that, still my favorite dish from everyone else's. Glad I chose this. Fisherman's Pasta : the presentation is immaculate, very proportional ratio of seafood to the pasta. l like the variety but honestly, this dish is bland. Good thing I got the lamb shank! Arnisia Paidakia (Lamb Chops): Didn't eat but the person who ate it said it tastes good but kind of dry. What he enjoyed about it was that the rice was made of wheat & savory as well. Lobster Risotto - wasn't my personal order but I got to try a bite. Had some flavor and and enough meat from the tail to eat with the savory rice. Free birthday Baklava desert: Never had it before but I got a bite and liked it. Ended up giving the rest to everyone else. This place is good for its variety of choices so I may come back for the good food and atmosphere. read more

This place remains one of our favorites in peninsula. And we almost always went with the same items: akuka spread, octopus, lamb shank, brussel sprouts. We added the seafood pasta this time.

The name is apropos for this Greek joint, as the lighting and large bar make it feel like a Mykonos beachside club. This is not a bad thing, as it straddles the "good for family dinner" and "good for date night drinks" surprisingly well. The waitstaff are warm and friendly, if not sometimes a bit rushed to clear the table -- they twice tried to take plates we were still eating from, but from more of an "attentive-service" place. We opted to share several plates for a group of four, and this seems to be the right call. The dip platter is a MUST, with several variations that I had never tried before. Other standouts include the beef kebab and fried zucchini balls. The real winner was definitely dessert. I usually find desserts play second fiddle to the main courses of most restaurants, but this couldn't be further from the truth for Mykonos. The baklava was solid (the regular comes with a scoop of ice cream, in case you're like us and are not sold on the baklava-ice-cream alternative), but the BANANA PUDDING stole the show, from the fruity bottom all the way to the pistachio-encrusted top. We couldn't get enough! read more

We love to come here for celebrations with my in-laws. Our last visit was for my husband's 30th birthday. Though it seems this is not unusual - there were like 6-8 birthday celebrations with free desserts and song from the restaurant. It is a bit pricer but lots of fun. Very dark lighting inside with many blue and yellowed hewed lights. Very tight crowded tables - it seems they have added more recently. Perhaps even make a little more room to walk without putting yourself or your clothes over other peoples tables when coming in and out. Outside is more open air, bright, and roomier with the tables. The service is great - manager / owner floats around checking in and making sure everything is running smoothly. The waiter we had had a heavy accent, was not very loud so he had to repeat things a bit, and was less familiar with the running of the restaurant than some of our others have been, but he was still nice and helpful getting our items out in a reasonable amount of time. The food is flavorful and tasty. There's a reason we come back again and again and its so busy, but please don't squish any more tables in. read more

Always a good vibe in this place. Good service and excellent food. Overall a good experience.

We came without a reservation on a Wednesday night and it was super packed. The area outside that is closest to the indoor area is still quite warm though with the heat lamps. Our favorites were the keftedes (meatballs) and spread platter. The meatballs have lamb in them but you don't taste it at all. The spread platter was very fun to try a 7 different dips/spreads. Our favorite spreads were the karoto (carrot spread) and tirokafteri (a bit of spicier red bell pepper spread.) Honestly, all the spreads were very good so I would say give any of them a try. The beet spinach salad had a lovely citrus flavor. The moussaka was delicious as well but I felt the other items were actually better! read more

I wanted some Mediterranean food takeout and it was somewhat late so most other places were closed. I called Mykonos and ordered takeout. I ordered a Greek salad, the eggplant mezzo and side of steak kebab. I was quoted $45 or so; wow! Ok, Inassumed I was getting too much food and went along with it assuming I'd get at least two or three skewers. To my surprise... one skewer!?! I can't believe I started hungry! The one star is for the taste of the meat, which was good (the mezzo not so much) and the fact that one can't give zero here on Yelp! To the owner: have some decency! read more

Located in the hustle and bustle of Burlingame, not far from the south of the Peninsula, I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant, having visited twice already. "MEZE" in Greek means small plates, similar to the Spanish "TAPAS." This place truly is fantastic. As an honorary Greek for most of my life, this restaurant warms my heart. What does it mean to be an honorary Greek? Well, I've been infused with this culture, and about 18% of my DNA is Greek, even though my grandparents come from Southern Italy and Southern Spain. All of us Mediterranean people share an overlapping culture. With that said, three words come to mind when I dine here: authenticity, beauty, and pride. The wonderful flavors in the food will warm your soul. Just imagine closing your eyes and feeling the vibe and charm of Mykonos--that's the experience you will have here. What are my favorites? Here's the list: - **GIGANTES**: A dish made with large beans, which is the same word in Spanish--interesting, right? - **FLATBREAD AND CALAMARI**: Delicious and a must-try. - **KEFTEDES**: Delicious meatballs that I highly recommend. - **OLIVES**: I have to mention the olives. For someone of Spanish and Italian heritage, olives are as essential as jalapeños are for Mexicans. They are a part of us; personally, I think I was baptized in a vat of olive oil! Just kidding, but you absolutely have to try the olives! - **HORIATIKI**: This is the salad you would know as the Greek salad. - **MOUSSAKA AND PASTITSIO**: I love these dishes. The Moussaka features eggplant, while the Pastitsio is a macaroni dish, often likened to Greek lasagna but with a distinct flavor. All in all, if you're not planning a visit to the island of Mykonos in Greece anytime soon, then you need to get over to MYKONOS MEZE in Burlingame. As we say in Spanish, Italian, and Greek--bravo! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while as a connoisseur of Mediterranean mezze plates. Do yourself a favor and try to make a reservation OR get lucky and they'll have a seat for you at the bar. This place can get crowded and loud - brings me back to my college days. However, thank god the food itself is not reminiscent to my college's dining commons. Now if you want to try a little bit of every dip, just ask for the sampler. And if you do get the sampler, the red/orange dip is my favorite. It's nutty with a little bit of a spice. I have no idea which dip it is on the menu and I'm scared to steer my yelp fans wrong (However looking at the menu, it might be the Tirokafteri. Hold the applause guys, I just looked for whichever dip said "spicy"). Next, my recommended dishes are the Dolmathes, the Lamb Riblet, the Fishermen's Pasta, and the Traditional Moussaka. If you really want to do yourself a favor and practice some self-love, you'd get the Fishermen's Pasta. Hands down the best dish I've tried here. The sauce was bursting with so much flavor that I almost developed synesthesia but for food. The Lamb Riblet was also a great standout because it fell off the bone so easily that I almost took the bones home to give to my dog (I don't have a dog). There was only one dish that was a bit disappointing and that was the Short Rib Pasta. Lack of flavor. Tasted like cardboard compared to everything else. Not that I know what cardboard tastes like but that's what I imagine it to be like. I'd avoid that dish unless you're a cat who's teething and needs to bite into some cardboard then you should go for it. read more
