I have never experienced such bad service , restaurant was not very busy so no excuse however I did notice none of the usual managers were there but still unacceptable. Chicken was dried out . I will not be back in a hurry . Very sad

                                                      The issue was the food. It was mediocre and in some cases it did not reflect the description on the menu. The prosciutto was more like prosciutto cotto and the portions were smaller than is say in a Manhattan restaurant. The watermelon feta salad had been sitting in dressing for some time and wasn’t fresh. One of the entrees had sat so long before it got to the table there was a film on top of the sauce. A very disappointing in terms of quality, very pricey meal means we will not be back to Mediterra.

                                                      We loved everything about the restaurant. We ate Saturday night at 6:15. The waitress was professional and playful. We shared everything including three tapas, delicious bread and shared one pasta main course. We finished with an Affogato. We thought the bill was quite reasonable. Dan and Joy

                                                      Once again, Mediterra provided the perfect place for a business meeting that was easy to get to, thanks to the parking garage across the street, and the lack of stairs and curbs, which make it accessible for the disabled member of our team. The menu was delightfully varied with many delicious, healthful choices and the service was superb. It's our "go-to" place in Princeton.

                                                      We had an amazing time at Mediterra. Only downside was that it was a little noisy on the patio. Get the paella!!

                                                      Could have had the whole meal from the tapas menu- very tasty. Found management very pleasant and responsive. Desserts were delicious!
