                                                      Myself and the other guests found the menu limiting. We have gone to Mediterra for years and enjoy their other menu formats better. I suggest you view the menu before visiting. Please understand the food was very good. The service was excellent and we were fortunate to be able to eat outside on a beautiful evening .

                                                      My wife requires gluten free. We told the server and she assured us my wife's choice was gluten-free. It was not. My wife became very ill about an hour after the meal.

                                                      Myself and my wife shared the Paella for two. It was delicious with Chorizo sausage, chicken squid, shrimp and scallops. We also had the Artisan cheeseboard as an appetizer but that wan;t as good as the meal.

                                                      We ordered several tapas and then the Paella. Everything was so good! We ate outside, so the noise was lower and was just a great atmosphere!
