Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Mira Mesa

We were seated timely for our reservation. The menu is small, but varied. They offered samplings of wine so I could decide which one i preferred. I sampled the Tempranillo and Super Tuscan. I ended up with the cabernet which was less expensive and suited my wine style better. We shared the Carrot Salad, a combo of shaved carrot and asparagus, orange, fresno chili pepper and poppyseed dressing. The taste was lovely and the veggies were crisp, probably kept in ice water. There was a bit too much dressing for my taste, but that is a personal preference. For entrees, my husband had the Sweet and Slow Pork Chop. Very tender and flavorful. While he liked it, his comment was that it was something you would get at many places, without distinction. I ordered the Mediterranean Stuffed Pepper. This is not your Mother’s stuffed pepper!!! There was a balanced mix of shredded lamb bites, cauliflower and other veggies in a bell pepper topped with goat cheese sauce and pistachios and nicely roasted on the outside. This was served over a bed of wild rice with cranberries. The rice was cooked al dente which gave it a nice “chew”. When all those flavors blended together, it was divine. I highly recommend this dish. For those of you trying to explore how to increase veggies, legumes, and grains vis-a-vis proteins, this is a great example. A couple of observations which were not obnoxious, but just a tad annoying. The delivery time from ordering to receiving our drinks or food was a bit longer than we expected. We dined on a Saturday at the height of dinner service, and our waitress, Jeda, was very knowledgeable, courteous, and did tell us when food was coming. The good news is that the food was hot when it came out, so you know it didn’t sit for long. The other observation relates to the style of silverware - round handles slip in your hands and make it more challenging to eat.

Incredible. The food and service was excellent. It was so vibey. Can’t wait to go back.

We really loved the space! It had a great, almost club like atmosphere. I ordered the filet mignon, which I had to cook table side. It was brought to me on a hot stone. It came with rustic potatoes, best potatoes I ever had. My fiance ordered the chicken breast, the chicken was very bland and dry, he was pretty disappointed. Over all great experience, staff was very friendly, will come back. 

It was so much more than the exquisite meal - it was an experience. Callie’s servers are the most knowledgable, best trained, most service oriented team we’ve ever experienced. We had the tasting menu which was EXTRAORDINARY and - for the brave - the delicious Kook Juice from the bar. Our favorite place to dine in San Diego!

The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.
