   Loved our meal at Mediterranean Exploration Company! The vibe was fun and relaxed, and the food totally delivered. The salted beets were unexpectedly delightful—perfectly balanced and so flavorful. And don’t even get me started on the tahini ice cream with the chocolate shell... absolutely amazing! It’s one of those desserts you keep thinking about days later. Great spot for a night out—will definitely be back.

   We really enjoyed our dinner here! We were skeptical when the waiter said to order 2 dishes per person but 10 dishes was just perfect for our party of 5. Everything was absolutely delicious. It’s hard to even pick a highlight because everything was so good, but we especially loved the crispy lamb hummus and the salmon belly tartare. Service was a bit slow getting started after we were seated but once we placed our order the food came out at a good pace. Drinks were always full. We will definitely return!

   The food and service was excellent. The little gem salad, Greek potatoes and Greek lamb chops were a hit. The restaurant gets a little noisy when full, however not in bad way. If you want a quieter experience their sister restaurant Dolly Olive is a great choice.

    We ordered our daughters butter pasta first and by the time it came out everyone had finished eating for some time. As always the food was great.
