    The place is so nice we really love the decoration. The food was so normal. It was so quiet and the tables were empty.

    The food wasn’t fresh I think they might changed the chef or it was the chef day off . I’ve been there before and the food tasted different. Thank you

    Do not go to this restaurant! Although the food is good (despite serving undercooked chicken), there is nothing redeeming about this place. The service is abysmal. The waiter knowingly served a soda with crud on the top, excusing the crud because "the soda gun was dirty." Another server delivered 2 dishes of chicken over the shoulders of 2 of us, spilling the juice from the plates onto our coats and shoulders. When these things were brought to the attention of the waiter, he was defensive and rude. With so many restaurants to choose from in NYC, there is absolutely no reason to go to Cafe Medi. It is amateur hour there and the decent food does not make up for deplorable service.

    staff were not busy enough so became bothersome when eating. Food was tasty but nothing too fancy. Also our main meal food was lukewarm when served. It’s a nice restaurant but we simply couldn’t relax due to staff constantly wandering close to our table, refilling glasses of water constantly and clearing our table when we hadn’t finished meals. Once we advised the waiter we were finished and didn’t want desserts - they automatically went and got the bill. Felt like we were being rushed out the door. The constantly moving of staff who had obviously little to do spoiled our evening as they hovered around our table.

    Very poor service by the waitstaff, even though it was not busy at all. Our cocktails took forever to come (one person’s drink didn’t come until we were almost done eating, despite informing the waiter). The manager was kind enough to comp the drinks when we told them. Food was mostly good, although some of it came out cold (home fries).

    One hour in, they'd taken our drink order 5 times across 2 different people, and we still never got served, so we had to walk out. (They weren't even busy at all - and we were the second table to walk out.) Our waiter was aggressive, rude, and seemingly very intoxicated.
