Despite that, they refused to serve me anything but the four-course fixed menu. I was only interested in one specific dish, but they would not allow me to order it on its own. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

The prices are high for Media, and there are so many choices of great restaurants that I would think twice about going again. The lamb skewers were overcooked. The branzino was good, but for that price, it should have been the whole fish.

Our table got the appetizer sampler, lamb and chicken dishes and all got rave reviews. We plan to go back just for dinner to spend more time. BYOB was a nice feature and prices were reasonable.

I kept my coat on to stay warm, but many other people seemed fine. My vegetarian couscous was fine but nothing special. When I was concerned there was meat in my dish, the hostess was kind enough to take it back to the chef and then report to me that the pinkish food was actually cauliflower. My significant other's vegetarian tangine was surprisingly spicy in light of other comments that the food was bland. He ended up sharing my couscous with me and, fortunately, there was plenty of it to share. For some unknown reason we were not offered dessert, so we decided to just pay the bill at that point.
