    Beautiful, flavorful and well seasoned. I could taste the love that went into making our meals. It was just the right amount of food and my friend and I shared everything. We did not have dessert but our server did such a wonderful job telling us about them...I am still thinking about that pistachio cake. Thank you la Medusa

    Seafood specials are a La Medusa highlight and the salmon poached in olive oil was an excellent example: perfectly cooked to a moist medium rare, surrounded by spring vegetables. Sunchoke salad was crunchy and deliciously dressed.

    Food feels like the mind of one determined chef. Small choice but not run of the mill. Staff always v helpful. Nice cosy vibe, can be loud during busy times, but perfect for after movie meal (open late on wednesday, same day as ark lodge $6 movie night)

    Went with my husband to La Medusa for a late Valentines dinner and our server was very friendly and had great wine recommendations based on our taste. Very delicious food and great ambiance.
