    Food was delicious (lamb chops) and the drinks (old fashioned and bold red wine) were excellent as well. The service was outstanding—it was fast in spite of being filled and the waiter very friendly and polite. The only issue was the maitre’d who was a bit testy when trying to convince us that we had to check in our winter coats and couldn’t hang them on the back of our chairs—a suggestion we ignored.

    Was delighted with the place. Met friends , of whom I hand not seen in years, for a late lunch. We talked for hours & no one bothered us, only to ask if we needed anything. Ordered several Mezze dishes for the table, everyone of them delicious. Also was warm & cozy. Definitely recommend Pera Mediterranean.
