    The menu is very limited. Very expensive for what you get. Years ago there would be daily specials. This practice is no longer available.

    We haden't been to Triumph since it moved to the old post office. It's a very different vibe in the upstairs dining room. Very quiet, great light coming through the window that looks out on Palmer Square, comfortable seating. Our server was responsive and helpful but not overbearing. We had beer and a cocktail - both good. Oysters were good with a raspberry mignonnette that was very good. My husband had the squash blossems which were over fried and a little oily. His main course was ravioli with a mushroom sauce. It was very tasty but the sauce was too thick. I had the buratta and a salad. The buratta was served on toasted brioch and a cranberry jam. The buratta was too cold so it was more like mozzarella and not soft. The salad had odd greens that reminded me of watercress but a lot of stems. For desert we had berries with marscepone. It came with toasted pasta sprinkled with cinammon surgar - very tasty. It was a very relaxing dinner that could have been super with a few adjustments. We'll come back again and try the bar room downstairs.

    Our server, Mia, was the best aspect of our time at Mediterra. My main concern about the restaurant is that the main dining area is extremely loud. I asked for a quiet table in the bar area, but there wasn't one available, and the noise level in the main dining room was intense. I realize that food has become increasingly expensive, but I had trouble paying $125 for two plates of pasta, two glasses of modest wine, and one (skimpy) green salad. From time to time I have lunch at Mediterra with a friend, and that seems to work better for me than dinner.
