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.

Service was quick, congenial, and professional. The food was amazing, from bread to apps to entrees. Pricey for us but worth it, especially for a birthday or other special occasion.

Just OK. Biggest disappointment was that I informed them that it was a special occasion - my daughters 21st Birthday - and no mention was made or any special treatment. The Almejas (clams in broth) was very good - kid of a mini-cioppino - as was the halibut. The pappas bravas were flavorless - they took them off the bill without our asking - but no apology or empathy.

We had an excellent dinner on Christmas Eve with outstanding service. The prices for for food were quite reasonable, with several entree selections available in the 20s. Bottles of wine were a bit expensive but overall great value and a wonderful evening!
