Each with an unusual, interesting flavor. The service was perfect - attentive, informative, friendly, non-intrusive. I highly recommend giving this...

MoreI enjoyed my meal at Medita and the menu had meat dishes of all kinds to choose from. My entrecote steak and potatoes was quite delicious and cooked to my request, and the others in my party also enjoyed their meals as well. The ambiance is not so intimate, and the space has a subtle cavernous feel to it. On the night we were there, there was a private party in the back room with a DJ, which created a lot of noise, making it hard to converse. Perhaps on a more quiet evening, the ambiance is better. the service was also a bit slow but not terrible. Overall, worth a try.
