    The food was ok. Loved the ambiance. My date and i was able to enjoy a quiet dinner where we got to talk. But my problem was, even though the place was empty at the time, the servers and hosts were trying to kick us out even though there was only 2 other people there…you know when they keep coming to the table taking things away…pretty much hinting to go…it’s not like anyone else was waiting for our table. But i digress. Still a good dinner with my date. Thanks

    Was delighted with the place. Met friends , of whom I hand not seen in years, for a late lunch. We talked for hours & no one bothered us, only to ask if we needed anything. Ordered several Mezze dishes for the table, everyone of them delicious. Also was warm & cozy. Definitely recommend Pera Mediterranean.
