Mosaic Cafa Bistro - Carrboro

My date and I sat on the veranda to dinner. Eating was good, but the table had not space for more than two dishes at a time. Instead of taking this into account when we bring out our food, we were all given tapas immediately and expected that one ended as soon as possible while the server waited there to put the next dish. better planning through the kitchen would have made our experience 100x better.

Excellent reincarnation of Provence. The menu is very manageable le but full of eclectic tastes. Our party experience much of it. The fish and scallops were excellent. The small please we’re ample and tasty. Pre dinner cocktails were a perfect to the meal. The kitchen staff cooked every to to perfection. And the wait staff were chanting and personable but above all extremely professional.

Was really happy that Provance reopened with a new concept. I do like the small plates/ tapas concept that the new Mosaic offers. Overall though the food was a little lackluster. My favorite was the mussels which paired well with the Naan( more like a pita flatbread). I did not care for the vegan meatballs they were a bit dry and the sauce was a heavy acidic tomato sauce . The desert we had which was a Pastor’s Blueberry pie needs some revamping . The crust was tough and the filling very bland . Not much blueberry either , just some dried blueberries and a stream of blueberry could.

The food and ambiance were destroyed by the intolerable noise level in the dining room. It wasn’t crowded, but the table of six next to us were all determined to test the acoustics. We could not have a conversation, nor could we enjoy an otherwise good dinner.

Great food, wonderful outdoor seating, excellent service! We had a fantastic time tonight!
