Food and Service were great. Poor quality chairs and tables outside made it uncomfortable at times. Also a cool night yet no one offered to bring over outdoor heaters.

Noise+ energetic NOT! was almost impossible to talk to the person next to you. Had to shout all night plus first date couple at next table were anything but subdued and in some cases graphic. Quite unappealing to be sitting next to. two out of 4 dinner were quite good other tw0 were over pounded thin pork tenderloin veery thin and not veery filling. Was disappointed given previous experiences

This place never disappoints. Our visit started with connecting with the front of the house as he told a wonderful story about meeting someone famous in NYC back in the day. All started due to my last name. HAHA. Our table was in the perfect spot as our friends were new to Mediterra. Cocktails were perfect including the classic Hugo that my wife enjoys. Dinner was perfect as well as dessert. Many wonderful memories created at this spectacular spot. So happy it continues to impress after ll these years.

Food was delicious - no pasta lasagna and spicy meatball entrees with a granache rose for lunch on their patio. Server was excellent. Will definitely visit again.

I had the Paella which I typically order and this dish was exceptional. Eating outdoors is always a pleasant experience here. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Princeton area.

Mediterra is a constant of oustanding quality in every aspect of a dining experience. Our habit is Mediterra but we have spent time in Eno Terra and Teresa'a and they are all wonderful. Thank you to the Momo group for their leadership.
