Once again, Mediterra provided a superb dining experience. From the warm welcome upon our early arrival and attention to our seating preference to the quick and charming table service, they delivered. The menu was creative, two of us adventured into specials that we loved and one ordered a basic burger and fries that he declared the best he’d eaten anywhere. I will be back again with more friends.

Went to Mediterranean after seeing A Christmas Carol at the theatre. Overall it was a nice experience but not a place I need to go to again. The server was attentive and the food came out as ordered and in a reasonable amount of time. In my opinion the menu was a little boring and although the food tasted fine it wasn’t great. My mother and I both ordered the halibut piccata and my husband got the homemade ziti. We shared several appetizers which again were fine but nothing I need to have again.

Overall experience was good, as usual. Very friendly staff, server, etc. Good food. If you have parked in the parking garage next to the restaurant, they can validate your ticket for a 33# parking discount.
