This is by far the most wonderful dining experience! The food was plated like an artist painting. The chef’s details to the main entrees were impeccable and cooked to perfection. Service was wonderful. I highly recommend Blue Bottle Cafe. There is no other restaurant like it!!

Once again, Mediterra provided a superb dining experience. From the warm welcome upon our early arrival and attention to our seating preference to the quick and charming table service, they delivered. The menu was creative, two of us adventured into specials that we loved and one ordered a basic burger and fries that he declared the best he’d eaten anywhere. I will be back again with more friends.
