I met a client for lunch at Mediterra today, and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch; very professional while still being friendly and un-stuffy. Seats are comfortable, as was the temperature in the dining room. My guest had the Med Burger and raved about it. I had the Brick Chicken and it was absolutely incredible. Like, I will dream about that chicken!

Booked a table for lunch, however, some members of our party wanted to eat earlier. Showed up an hour earlier than our reservation, and the hostess was gracious and accommodating. She seated us immediately. Service and food always excellent. Will be back again.

Try the pastaless lasagna. Magnificent. I love that you get great bread and olive oil for a very small price. Never feel rushed here.

Excellent food and outstanding service. Love this place. Whenever we travel through the area or visit Princeton, we absolutely have to have at least one meal there. Tapas are great, you can have a selection of those, true Spanish style. Main dishes are just as good, and cocktails deserve a special shout out. The restaurant is quite spacious, yet I recommend reserving a table, especially if you are visiting during busier times of the day.

Mediterra is our favorite restaurant in Princeton. Consistently wonderful food and service. Even if you're not vegetarian (which I'm not), the vegetarian pastaless lasagna is sublime and one of the best I've had anywhere, with or without meat. The oysters and fish are always fresh and prepared to perfection, the bread and dipping oil is addictive, and the wine selection and cocktails are top notch. I never tire of this wonderful place.

First time there! The service was excellent and the food was perfect! We ordered paella and enjoyed it so much! My only complaint was sitting down close to others I felt like we couldn’t talk. Seating was just too close for me.
