Description

Overall, the Mediterranean restaurant received mixed reviews. The food was highly praised for being delicious and of high quality, with recommendations for dishes like the Halibut, Grilled Octopus, Charred Octopus, and the Branzino. The crispy potatoes and honey pie were also highlighted as must-try items. However, some customers found the portions to be too small for the price, and there were complaints about the service, including issues with reservations not being taken into account, language barriers with servers, and slow service. The noise level in the restaurant was reported as being too loud in some instances. Despite these drawbacks, the restaurant received positive feedback for its ambiance, atmosphere, and attentive servers. Overall, while there were some negative experiences, many customers still enjoyed their meals and would consider dining at the restaurant again.
