We celebrated our daughter's birthday at Cafe Mediterranean last night. It was the second time this month we have visited this restaurant, and both times we have had a superb experience. There is an intimacy about this family owned restaurant that many restaurants lack. The owner, Fahri, and Eda welcomed us as if we were family. Dishes are sophisticated in their flavoring, allowing the ingredients to shine while complimenting one another. The pacing of the dinner was excellent, and we ended up having a memorable evening together. Thank you!

About the restaurant

In November 1977, Helen And I opened Oriental Wok pursuing our American Dream. We poured our hearts into this business, meeting great customers along the way. Now, I am proud to call many of you my friends. Your support and friendship for nearly 50 years have meant so much to me and my family.

With so many restaurant choices, I am honored each time you visit Oriental Wok. Thank you for celebrating all the big and small occasions with us throughout the years. My family and I look forward to sharing more great food and laughter with you for years to come.

Truly,
Mike and Helen Wong

About the restaurant

New to Cincinnati - Artemis Mediterranean Bistro, authentic Mediterranean cuisine! The owner Mehmet, is from Istanbul Turkey and the dishes presented are full of flavor. Our portions are very generous but I encourage you to save room for one of our amazing desserts like pistachio baklava! We have a very diverse menu to suit everyone’s palette, including vegetarian dishes. We do have a nice selection of wine and a full bar. We do host a lot of large parties for any occasion in either our Wine Room (seats up to 19) or our Event Room (seats 36) . We have hosted parties as large as 130 though. We look forward to serving you and your families soon.

Took my boyfriend here on a date night because of how much I’ve loved the restaurant in the past. The cocktails were wonderful and the found was outstanding. The service was not what I was expecting due to previous experiences, but that is okay, the food made up for everything. I do recommend!
