    We had tickets to McCurdy’s comedy and saw that Mediterranean was nice and close so we decided to try it out. We’ve been here four years ago, but haven’t been there recently. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and how quickly we were able to get in and out for our show.

    The service was great. I had eggplant Parmesan and my husband had lasagna. They both were very good. I did think $27 for lasagna and only lasagna was pricey

    Really great food selection here. We sat outside and we were there early enough for half priced wine which was great. Service was nice, but I think our server was a little young and shy. Didn’t really provide a lot of details, but was still a very nice server. I’m probably being overly picky with that. Highly recommend! We will be back.🔙
