Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Edina

My friend and I were able to enjoy a delicious lunch in a beautiful, quiet setting perfect for catching up. Our server was wonderful! We were welcomed, encouraged to take our time and received the very best service. The lobster rolls were yummy and the tea beautiful in its unique container and warming on a cold day. For anyone weary of extremely noisy restaurant, Nicollet Island Inn will become your favorite with its charm and beauty.

The food and the service were outstanding. The manager, Livvy, was amazing!

Definitely a step above a typical shawarma / gyro place with a full menu of Mediterranean dishes. It is also weirdly enough a local watering hole with an extensive beer and cocktail menu and a lot of folks hanging out and playing pull tabs. I would recommend making a family style meal of the many small plates available so that you can try a little bit of everything. If you are already familiar with the mezza table, the food is solid and a fairly basic representation of the cuisine. There are certainly more authentic/gourmet places to eat, but probably not at anywhere near the very modest price point of this establishment. For two of us with a drink each and a sampler platter to split (which was perfect for two modest appetites) we walked away for 40 bucks, which is hard to do for a sit-down meal these days. . The atmosphere is a bar, and not particularly romantic or a great place for a quiet conversation. It is a good place to get together with a bunch of people.

Loved the very healthy food!! Sarah came out and greeted each table near closing time. Best Mediterranean food in the Twin Cities.
