    Great food and service and always love the photos on the wall and themed rooms. This visit was extremely noisy as a family of 6 with out of control toddlers was nearby. On a normal day I would have easily ignored, but this was Valentine’s Day and mood was spoiled. perhaps if couples had been assigned in same room and families with small kids in another?…….

    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.

    Walked in, I was greeted in a very professional manner by a nice man. I was then walked to a table with my date, and then served water by a server. After this a separate server was explaining the menu to us, and we were told the most popular items. After given some time we put our order in and received our appetizer in a very timely manner. Shortly after finishing that, we then got our entrees, both delicious and extremely fresh. I might even say that in my 18 years of living this is the best meal I’ve ever had in my life, and I’m not even joking. We were then given a box (food was boxed for us and I didn’t even realize because the server we had was so quick and efficient). After this we got donuts and affogato and again, I was pleased to discover the dessert was just as good as the meal. 10/10 experience, setting was amazing, food was delicious, service was exemplary. Will definitely be back.
