Medi is a fun mid-scale Mediterranean restaurant. I went on a Thursday evening with no reservation and was able to get seated right away. The ambiance here is upscale and trendy. Large chandeliers, neon lights, floral wall, and huge pictures of Biggie, Tupac and others. The service here was fast and effective. I was dining alone so did not have the opportunity to connect personally with my service. However, the service was still attentive. For food I ordered: Potato Borak which is a deep fried potato started. The chipotle dipping sauce is what elevated this dish adding bold spice and flavor! Shawerma: Skirt steak which was delicately slices and seasoned to perfection. This was definitely a menu highlight. Served with rice, onions, cucumber and tomato salad. I topped my meal off with the garlic sauce which really additional garlic flavor which paired well with the steak. For drink I had the Fairouz which was tequila, passion fruit and lime. It was served in this glass pineapple which added a cute touch to the tasty cocktail. I enjoyed Medi a lot and cannot wait to get back there. Its perfect for a solo date, date night, night out with friends and more!

Come for the baba ganoush, stay for the kunafah. The kitchen performs admirably, competently churning out a limited number of dishes from a short menu. The kabobs seem to be the best choice of entree. The chicken shwarma has a sumac overload but its not bad once you get past that. Clean bathrooms. Friendly service. A bit of a date night bar scene going on, too.

The food was very good. We had the soujek spread to start and it was delicious. The pita was so fresh and so soft. We then split the fattoush salad which was also very yummy. We also had the falafel which might have been my favorite dish and the chicken shawerma which was a bit dry but ok. Overall the food was very good, the service was a bit slow but not horrible. The ambiance was very lovely! Super cute decor and wonderful decorations. I also had the Elia cocktail which was delicious (but unassumingly strong ;) )

Phenomenal food and service. Friendly welcomed recommendations. No pictures because we were starving but the baba ganoush (I don't know how to spell it) was phenomenal. I'd go back just for that. Had a whiskey sour variation which I would also strongly recommend. We ordered the special of the day which was a fish dish but will have to return to try the normal menu.

Delicious and unique. Traveling through and decided to stop while shopping the neighborhood. Unique menu items for brunch. Couldn't resist the French toast. So do good. My friend had the falafel benni. She said it was wonderful. I had the French toast and I practically licked my plate clean. Beautiful little spot and wonderful service. Very relaxed. I would go back if I lived here.

This was an interesting one! So I was on the waitlist and was called immediately that my table was ready. However, I was still 20 min out so I asked if I could be placed on it again. I was told yes. I arrived 20 min later and was asked to wait to be seated. There were visibly empty tables and the "waiting" area is just in front of the door. We were then seated in the small section until 2 Seats at the bar opened Up. The small area was not comfortable, you could only sit on it with your legs crossed lol. Finally at the bar we were able to sit comfortably and order. The food was really good and so were the cocktails.

Delicious dishes and starters. See pictures.The dinner menu has a greater variety of options vs the lunch menu. Nevertheless, still good.Street parking was easy to find. I've been both during lunch and dinner hours- no problems looking for parking.Service was super during the dinner hour.However. When we went again during lunch hours, the server was not attentive at all. 1) She forgot our request after asking 3 times for extra sauce, so we gave up. 2) We wanted water refill and she didn't come back. 3) A few times, I tried to wave her over, she walked straight passed our table and headed to the back kitchen... quite rude.Paying by cash gives you a discount on the final bill. This is printed on the bill. We had a party of 8, so our lunch bill was not small change. Despite the service, we did give her appropriate tip.

If you're looking for a unique brunch spot, look no further! Love Mediterranean food (& a cute aesthetic) and grabbing brunch at Medi was a great way to start the weekend. The space inside is adorable, and the service was very friendly (I went right when they opened around 11:30ish so still was not too crowded). The food & cocktails themselves were delicious! I asked my server for some recs and he delivered: got the babaganoush, hummus, and kafta as my main entree. Overall, recommend if you're looking for a cute brunch spot with some tasty Mediterranean cuisine

Great food and drinks!!! Such a fun spot for a group dinner. Our waitress was so patient with us -- we could not decide what to order and she was so helpful giving us recommendations!!! Definitely stick to the kebabs over the shawarma!
