Sorry about your own situation. Consistently, I have gotten great food and service there and the prices are very reasonable. All my friends I bring there love it too! For authentic, freshly cooked Mediterranean food I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Yes, it was that bad. Undine & I are fortunate enough to have enough money to eat at nice places (which often aren’t that much more expensive than regular dining spots if you watch what & how you order), but we are damn quick to take a place out of our dinner rotation if we feel the food merits it.

We have revisited spots (or reinstated spots to our rotation), but not Cafe Mediterranean. We were especially embarrassed because we went with a guest (who was underwhelmed as well.)

Afterwards, over coffee at Caribou (we weren’t staying for dessert/coffee at Cafe M on a bet), we pondered exactly how long they would last. Would they stay the length of their lease? Or would they give up the ghost prior to that?

All-in-all, Cafe Mediterranean won’t ever be getting any more of our hard-earned money or valuable free time! (I am glad that your mileage did vary, so to speak.)

That Greek salad looks amazing! I’m such a Greek salad connoisseur. The chicken and feta look great. I’m definitely going there! Thanks for the tip.

Interesting, Eroslane. We had the *exact* opposite experience. Bad night? Did we get lucky?

My wife & I went with a friend over the summer and just hated this place. The food was fair at best, and ridiculously overpriced (you’re paying for those suburbs, baby!), the server was a total idiot, yadda yadda yadda.

It was such a bad experience, we could only think to compare it our “Standard of Terrible”, P.F. Changs.

(In fact, we recently went over to Caribou Coffee and pointed at Cafe Mediterranean and mocking asked each other if we wanted “signature sauce”.) *bwahahaha*

All-in-all, it made us wish we’d driven a little further to Mediterranean Foods on Ludlow, which has zero ambiance but awesome food for far less money.

We will *never* go to Cafe Mediterranean ever again. Food over decor, always!

in Anderson we are pitifully grateful that we are Finally getting some decent places to eat–and Mediterranean is one of the two I like best. The great review will help their business and I want them to be successful–Thanks!

so glad you came out to the ‘burbs to find this little treasure! my hubby and i discovered this gem of a restaurant one night when latitudes was packed full. we were pleasantly surprised and have been back several times for an encore. our personal favorite is the baklava, it’s the best i’ve ever had! we can no longer share one order, i must have my own! also, i wish i could remember the name of it, but they serve an excellent turkish white wine that goes well with everything i’ve eaten there. highly recommended!

Cafe Mediterranean has quickly become a favorite of my family. You’re right, it feels like fine dining. However, when we took our two small children the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly.

They also have a take out menu.
