This place was highly recommended and lived up to expectations. We loved the modern take on Israeli and regional food. I've never had grape leaves this tasty and prepared this way. The service was top notch, food came out quickly, considering the caliber. My relative who is used to standard diner fare loved her dish. Well worth a stop if in the area.

Our new favorite place. Every dish was delicious. Best grilled octopus we’ve had in a very long time. Highly recommend the roast duck orange and the Branzino w crispy skin were both exceptional. The service was 5 star, the ambiance cozy but light hearted. Great for dinner with friends or a date night dinner. For the selfish reason of not wanting the place to get too popular so as not to be able to get a reservation, it behooves me not to recommend it but I cannot do such a great restaurant a disservice. My wife and I and our friends highly recommend Medi Terra and we can’t wait to go back to try some of the other offerings.
