Mediterranea Restaurant & Bakery

Charming spot in the heart of grant park. Beautiful rooftop terrace. Food was lovely, even the vegetarian impossible kofta was enjoyed. Cocktails & wine were also good. However…. Service was extremely lacking. Everyone working there seemed overwhelmed and not ready for Sat dinner service. Food & drinks were slow to come out or forgotten about. The person who brought entrees to the table rudely demanded that we make space on the table for her. May go back to give them a second shot but hesitant to do so due to the awful service.

Really tasty for gluten-eaters and non gluten-eaters alike.

I was super excited to try this place out because they have a lot of vegan options. I came with a friend. We started off with the broccoli salad. It sounded good from the description but wasn't quite what I thought it would be. It was basically some grilled broccoli with hummus. For my main I got the vegan veggie pizza, and it was delicious. My friend got the eggplant stack and wasn't a fan of it. At one point we were even convinced that they gave her the meat eggplant dish because what was on her plate didn't match the description. Our waitress reassured us that it was the correct dish. They could do a better job of describing dishes on the menu to avoid confusion. We finished the night with the lemon blueberry cheesecake. It was good, but I was stunned out how teeny tiny the portion was for a $9 price tag. From the photos I thought it was bigger. It is about half the size of a regular portion of cheesecake. Lastly, I noticed that our waitress, who might have been the owner or manager too, reprimanded another server over a small mistake she made (she took away our silverware after our appetizer). I got bad vibes. Overall, I did enjoy the food, but there were a couple of things that rubbed me and my friend the wrong way. I don't see myself coming back anytime soon.

I had dinner with three colleagues at 5:30 on a Wednesday. We sat inside by the window and enjoyed every single dish. We tried several dishes and loved each one. They offer non-alcohol and alcohol drinks and have an upstairs patio which looks over the small playground. The staff are super friendly and noticed that we were in deep conversation and didn’t bother us. I gave the perfect amount of service. I would go back here many many times. Dietary restrictions: They offer several gluten-free options in my friend with celiac really enjoyed the pizza

The food here is mostly just okay. The drinks are nice. The real star is the pecan pie though. 10/10 for that item, would order just a whole pie from here and make myself sick off of it because it’s so good.
