Mediterranean Restaurant · 84 tips and reviews
Shahrooz Shahandeh: BEST HUMMUS EVER!! Also try the green cilantro jalapeño flavor. In terms of the baklava, opt for the one with walnuts (not pistachios) and I prefer the round shaped one w/ the walnuts in the center.
Serious Eats: Classic Mediterranean fare at super-affordable rates.
Kenneth Yowell: Get the Lunchbox Special - half a sandwich, two sides and a baklava! Stay away from my imaginary girlfriend though.

Paul Papadoulias: Beer selection is great. Many choices on draught. The food is very good too! Burgers, sandwiches, steaks, and entrees are all very tasty and good quality. Cool vibe both inside and out!
Wallace Daniel: Unbelievable selection of beers, great seating, amazing food, and nothing but classic rock. The bartenders don't really know anything about beer, but they do a great job of making sure youre tended to
Robert Horvick: This is what World of Beer should have been. Sure, they have 500 fewer beer options but they still have about 200 choices - and they have FOOD! Best part? Right next door to WoB.

Crystal W: Lemon raspberry cheesecake is a must. It gets overlooked for all the chocolate options, but it's the best! Chicken bellagio is good for dinner- there's enough for two.
Chip Thomas: Let's see how that new Reese's cheesecake is.
Danielle Carr: The Ritz martini, deep fried ahi roll appetizer and tuxedo cheesecake are to die for! Do the survey on your receipt and get a $10 gift card emailed to you
