                                                      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.

                                                      Great summer menu for brunch. Our waitress was very efficient and accommodating with my young grand daughters. A very pleasant summer time brunch. True, it’s not cheap but Princeton isn’t. Worth the money.

                                                      The food and service were excellent! It was a nice evening, so we asked to be seated outside which was just fine with the exception of noisy children running around and splashing each other in the nearby fountain. I want to emphasize that this is not the fault of the restaurant, but rather a warning to people looking for a quiet and private spot to dine, perhaps outdoors near the fountain is not the best choice. It always baffles me why people go to a nice place with their children then let the kids run rampant, disturbing the other diners.

                                                      Great food and atmosphere. I had pasta less lasagna, which was excellent.

                                                      We had a great server named Manny and she was very attentive all evening. We did have an issue with the salad that required a visit to the table by the manager. He was very apologetic about the problem and the price of the salad was removed from the bill. They also prepared a fresh salad for me to replace the original. No complaints about the service. The food was also quite good. My husband and I enjoyed what we ate. Eating outside was definitely the way to go. It happened to be a beautiful night. The inside of the restaurant has an ambiance that I personally did not find attractive and the corridor leading to the restrooms was really dark which was unpleasant and odd. I had a decent experience but can’t say I’m dying to go back.
