Our server was wonderful. Can’t remember her name. Very kind and patient. The fries though came out tasting like they weren’t fresh out of the fryer. But everything else was wonderful. Food tastes great.

Saint John

About the restaurant

The Med Restaurant is one of Saint John's oldest restaurants, serving hungry guests since 1971.
Since then, the restaurant has gone through many changes and improvements along the way.
Chef Christos (second generation) and his team are proud to prepare Greek and continental dishes, using fresh and wholesome ingredients as well as the finest imported products (extra virgin olive oil, oregano, etc.) from Greece and creating everything from scratch. Our products are also sold in our store, Theo's Fine Foods, located in the same building, next to the Med.
Our dining room is bright and airy, with a modern Greek flare, in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
We welcome you and look forward to serving you in the future!
