Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Redmond

Look, I judge restaurants by the food primarily. So the small things I prefer or don't like about noise, value, or service timing matter, but not that much. Because the food at Terra Plata was really really good. We had one course from each quadrant of the menu (starter, earth, land, sea), and they were all good. We had the albracore crudo (really really good despite finding one pinbone), shishito peppers (normally an afterthought at restaurants - not here, the spices added a lot of depth), and the truffle and mushroom risotto (perfect texture). The land course (portuguese roast pig) was probably the only disappointment because it just wasn't as much of a flavor bomb as we expected from the ingredient's listed and just lacked something special. But it was still quite good, just overshadowed by the other dishes. And finally, the dessert (Basque Cheesecake) was amazing. No store bought pre-made dessert here. Unbelievable texture and the blood orange caramel was perfectly balanced. Tiny notes: the food comes out as it's done, which sometimes leads to awkward timing unless you plan what makes sense to have in what order. The service is good, but the restaurant was busy and you won't have them checking on you often. Not inherently an issue - I would rather have someone bothering me less than more. And we did find a pin bone in the crudo. But overall, it's a place I would recommend to foodies.

Excellent cocktails - the appetizer spreads with pita bread was 'melt-in-your-mouth' delicious. The entrees were generous and very nicely presented .. and delicious as well. Overall experience was a great Valentine's Day dinner. Service was attentive, responsive, and very personable.

Excellent service and food! Will definitely be back again

We live a couple blocks away and come here at least a couple times a year, especially when friends and family visit. Great quality restaurant and the atmosphere is unmatched. A Seattle institution.

We had a great dinner experience at Romio’s in Kirkland. We were here for soccer and our daughter needed pasta and protein. She had the penne Alfredo with shrimp. It was nice to be able to change the pasta. The Alfredo sauce was very light but full of flavor. The shrimp was good but wish they would remove the tails prior to serving. My wife had the low carb meatballs dish. The meatballs and marinara was so good. I had a caprese salad and the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes were so good. My wife and I also had the red wine that was really good. Overall great experience with great service. Would highly recommend.
