No need to go into huge detail, simply 10/10From ambiance to service, to food -- everything was exceptional! They do a family style menu, which is great for a night out with family or friends! Shoutout to Connor who took great care of us, we will definitely be back to try their brunch!

From the moment you walk into this restaurant, you know it's something different. The ambiance is warm and inviting. There are rosemary bushes and scented candles near the entrance. Dining here is family style, meaning you will order several dishes for the table to share from. The upside to this is that you are able to try many different tastes. The downside is that it's tricky to accommodate dietary needs and it adds up quickly as each dish is pricey. For our table of four to try a few dishes and have drinks, it was over $300. The warm pita bread is divine and also vegan (bonus!). We started our night with hummus. My favorite dish of the evening was the root vegetables with celeriac. I was only able to have a tiny taste as the portions are so small for the table. We also tried the mushroom shawarma, and a sweet potato dish. The mushrooms had good flavor but were very chewy and hard to eat. It was our table's least favorite. Our server Johnathon was helpful and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner for two, but would likely not return again with a larger group.

My husband and I went here in a date night and it was above our expectations! We sat outside which had a great ambiance with great vibes and music. The weather was also really great too, which helps when sitting outside!As a vegetarian, it can be difficult to find saturates that will satisfy me and my husband - needless to say, Ladino was a hit for both of us! We enjoyed the dips and warm made to order pita bread as a starter - and want to go back to try the whipped feta. We loved it all! Not pictured is the sweet potato warm meze (we ate that so fast because it was so yummy!) was our favorite dish of the evening. As a main course we enjoyed the mushroom entree and the shrimp entree. Both were delightful!!The flavor profiles are something we will remember & there are so many other dishes & desserts we can't wait to try next time we go! Highly recommend for anyone looking for an upscale dining experience for a date night or gathering. 1/2 price bottles of wine on Sundays too! Yeehaw!

I've been wanting to try this for a while now and glad we did! We came for brunch and shared everything for our table. The steak and eggs were very good. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The only recommendation would be to not put the steak on top of the eggs because it made the eggs bloody which wasn't great. The saffron chicken was very good, and the vegetable mix that came with it had a lot of flavor. The hummus appetizer was decent, but I'd likely try a different dip next time. I ordered the Green Shug margarita and thought it was very refreshing!

Visited this spot and tried the Spicy Plate, Saffron Chicken, and Pork Souvlaki. The Spicy Plate was a letdown. It was pretty bland and not worth the hype. However, the Saffron Chicken and Pork Souvlaki were fantastic! Full of flavor and cooked perfectly.Service was top-notch, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The ambience was also lovely, with a relaxed vibe that made the experience even better.Would I come back? Absolutely, but I'd skip the spicy plate next time.

This Mediterranean Michelin guide in the Pearl District was a perfect lunch spot after our hike. The service was great, the ambiance very modern style, and food was phenomenal!We ordered : Winter Cesar Salad, Spicy feta, hummus, mushroom shawarma & their sourdough pita. The winter salad was a warm salad full of flavor & the dips were delicious! But the mushroom shawarma was the star of the show! Layers of flavor & a meaty mushroom flavor. Would love to come back & try more dishes here. Cheers!

Came here for a birthday weekend dinner with a group of 4. Reservations are highly recommended. We were within a crowd of graduates when we visited back in May.The ambiance is gorgeous. Intimate lighting and great table wear.The food was delicious! Great they serve in a communal style because everything on the table was delicious! The waitress recommended great drinks too, most Mediterranean style. I recommend this spot, one of my favorite Mediterranean spots in town!

This is my 3rd time here and every time it's an amazing experience.Service is always great and helpful. The seasonal and rotating menu keeps every visit exciting! It was 4 of us in the group and we started with a couple of dips, a cold item, 3 hot items and a main course. We were STUFFED! Love the family style dishes were we can just relax and chat while trying a bite or three of a lot of different dishes.Already have a reservation in a couple of weeks so definitely coming back ;)

The service here was excellent, and the ambiance was wonderful, but unfortunately, the food wasn't quite to our liking. Perhaps our palates aren't refined enough, but the spices were so overpowering that finishing our meals was a challenge. The chicken saffron and the bed of rice it was served on were enjoyable, but the lamb, hummus, and lentil soup were overly seasoned. The pita was delicious, though even the dessert ice cream was a bit overwhelming. We visited during restaurant week, and while it was a nice experience overall, the hefty price tag and difficulty with the flavors mean we wouldn't return.

Made a lunchtime reservation for Ladino. We've never been and were excited that they were participating in Restaurant Week. When we got there and were seated. It took a minute for the waiter to come over and he informed us that the Restaurant Week menus was their Turkish Brunch. Who's was $35 for an assortment of olives and small bites and a choice of a breakfast entree. We were here on a Friday at noon!!!!We showed them the menu posted on Culinaria's website and we were told that it was an error. Well then the restaurant should contact Culinaria and let them know there was a change. We asked if dessert was included and we were told no. It was just the appetizer and a breakfast plate. Needless to say we left. Such a disappointment!
