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.
