The service was efficient and friendly, but not enough to warrant a return visit. On the other hand, a different reviewer found Medaterra to be a fantastic hangout spot with affordable, delicious food and great service. The ambiance was enjoyable, despite some noise and rush hour distractions. Overall, it seems that personal experiences at Medaterra can vary widely, making it a hit or miss dining option in the D.C. area.
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The all day happy hour is perfect for those on a law student budget.
Entrees that were overloaded with overcooked starch. The lamb chops were caked in oil or fat (couldn't tell) and did not taste quite right. They were heaped high with rice and along with the meat tasted reheated. The chicken dish was loaded with greasy french fries. I was surprised that it had gotten such strong ratings (the reason I chose it). For sure not returning.
It was a great experience, the all day happy hour is great for the law student budget ð¥°ð¥°
Had been excited to try an Egyptian restaurant after finding Medaterra on OpenTable. But upon walking in, we were told the restaurant had no drinking water available other than Pellegrino (but I donât drink fizzy water). Ordered only appetizers, which were extremely small and not filling. Also wanted to try the pan seared filet mignon, as advertised on their website, but when we asked about it, we were told that they didnât have that after all and that the website was not up-to-date. The servers were efficient and friendly, but unfortunately thatâs not enough to convince us to go back for another date.
Slow service, very expensive for the quality of food. We ordered the appetizer player which came after main courses served. Convenient location and thatâs it.
