Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Pearl District

We were so incredibly impressed with Shalom Y'all! The service was amazing from the moment we arrived, and there wasn't a single dish we didn't rave about. Absolutely worth a visit. We'll be back!

Third time at Yalla. They have this dialed in! Excellent flavors, nice presentation, comfortable dining room. Service is always "spot on". What impresses me most, is how they handle unexpected situations. We showed up for a reservation (for 4), and they offered a table in the front of the restaurant by the door. Was a little cold and breezy on that day, so we asked for a different table. We were told that unfortunately, none were available, as they had a large party coming in, so many tables had been combined. A minute later, the hostess came back and told me they'd rearrange things for the other party, and offered us a table further away from the door. Very nice gesture - they totally could have just forgotten about it, but they made an effort to be accommodating. Same reservation, we were waiting on one last plate (food is served family-style, so plates come out throughout the meal). Asked about it, and the server told us that she thought it was coming up. She left, and a couple minutes later, the manager came out and apologized for the delay. He acknowledged that they had missed the dish, so he immediately brought it out, with an extra appetizer, and comped them both. Again, could have just brought the plate and not said anything, but they went the "extra mile" to provide an exceptional experience. Will certainly be back.

Excellent food. Staff were welcoming and warm. Waitress was very helpful in marking the menu to show what foods were gluten free. Cider was super tasty. Lamb chops were delectable, highly recommend. 10/10 would visit again.

This European + Mediterranean + PNW inspired restaurant is quaint, adorable, cozy and has all the little details down even including their cute bathroom decor. I loved all the different colorful wallpaper throughout. They have different rooms for their seating which makes it more intimate and not as loud. The staff is down-to-earth and very helpful with the menu and narrowing down choices from the wine list to the menu and dessert. I personally loved the cheese small plate (fun to eat), scallop small plate, French onion soup, pork & duck main entrees. The execution of each dish was excellent. The wine selection is fantastic as well. The prices are also very reasonable so you’re able to try several items without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend this spot for any occasion, really, but a nice date night or girls night would be perfect. I can't wait to come back to try more.

Great food, great service! Enjoyable relaxed pace. We will be back (again and again).
