    We brought my brother and sister-in-law here for the first time on 2/15/25. Our server Merrick (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great! Phenomenal dinner, food came out quickly and was delicious. The guys got whole chickens and my sister in law got the chicken sandwich. We ordered fries, spoon bread, succotash, horseradish mashed potatoes, shrimps and grit and macaroni and cheese. We had a lot left over but they wanted to try everything. Last night, the shrimps and grits stole the show though, 10/10! Our only issue, I hate to mention it because we had such a wonderful time but since I am deaf in one ear I feel it may be helpful to someone else; we were seated under a speaker and the music was so loud. So if you’re going and you have hearing issues, maybe ask not to be seated close to where their speakers are. Highly recommend if you love quick, efficient service and pipin hot, yummy food!

    Had a Valentine Day reservation for 8:30pm and arrived early. Waited about 10 minutes and was seated closed to 830pm. We had our drink order taken within 5 minutes of bein seated. We order off the Valentine Day menu and I order the 14 oz New York strip medium well and my wife ordered the barrel cut filet medium. The food came out prompt and the steak had great flavor. We also order 2 cakes (6 inches in diameter) chocolate and strawberry.

    Restaurant was busier than I have ever seen it. But the crowd on Valentine's Day was to be expected. Even though the restaurant was completely full, the servers did an excellent job to keep all customers satisfied. And our food arrived hot and prepared as expected. No complaints at all. We dined with another couple and they were just as satisifed with the experience as we were. Kudos to Fahri and the staff of Cafe Mediterranean for providing a great dining experience for Valentine's Day.

    We did an early Valentines date night here and had amazing service and food! You know going into a Jeff Ruby experience that the prices will be high so expectations match that. The food was good, similar to the other locations and so nothing stood out to me as unique. My only dislike was the bar area. Not the fact that it was crowded just the overall setup made it incredibly difficult for anyone to hang out and grab a drink while guests were waiting for tables. The hallway being crowded made it difficult for wait staff to get through so I felt bad for them. But everyone from waiter to valet was kind, attentive and conversational. Really appreciate that!!
