Reviews
"had an absolutely delicious dinner here - the Turkish delight cocktail was refreshing, the hummus was outstanding & the Greek potatoes were a stand out. The octopus was good but wish it was more charred. I’d definitely come back"
"Excellent place for fine dining. The staffs are very efficient and sweet. We had great experience while dining here. It is a romantic place. We tried fried lamb humus which was good. I would recommend heavy meadows to anyone who is a gin person. The grilled octopus was okay. For the desert I would recommend warm pistachio cake as it tasted delicious. They don’t serve knafeh anymore."
"Had been wanting to come to MEC for a while and finally got the opportunity for a nice Valentine’s Day meal this year. The food and atmosphere did not disappoint. The inside feels warm and upscale but not quite the fine dining level that you might be expecting from a nicer spot. There’s communal coat racks and some communal seating even which makes it feel friendly overall. The food was absolutely stellar. Every single dish was just flat out tasty. Appreciate the variety they have throughout the menu and the smaller plates allow you to get to try and bunch of different things. I especially loved the roasted carrots and the beef orzo dish which honestly felt like a Mediterranean lasagna. It was a lovely night and will definitely look to go again for a nicer occasion."
"What a cool place! The food was amazing, especially the octopus. Ambience was on point, service was excellent, and I love that they recommend ordering family style so that everyone can taste the dishes. The Turkish coffee martini was divine."
"One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants of all time, this is most definitely the place to bring friends and share plates. Highly recommend the salmon, radicchio salad and humus with pita. You won’t be disappointed. Reservations are a must for this very popular restaurant. There is a fabulous outdoor seating area or an inside bar area, if you prefer."
