Mediterrano

Nice place with good service. Sat at the bar for an early dinner and the restaurant was mostly empty. The black bean soup was quite good. The olives were all over the place in terms of flavor and texture. Bread was hot and bite sized. Desert "Portokalopita" was also very tasty. Took the bartenders advice on it. Wines by the glass selection was adequate. The duck cassoulet was not good at all, frankly bad. I was very disappointed. The smoked duck was so over cooked it was hard and dry. It also was so over marinated that it had a very acidic flavor I couldn't place. The beans were alright, but I was expecting better from a higher end restaurant. Very thin sauce and not the thick baked feel of what I expected. I've had duck cassoulet a few times in France and Belgium and I don't think this is even close. Probably call this place more of a French/Italian restaurant. Found out that small plates are anything but small too. I would say that it is not worth the price. Maybe the more popular dishes are better.

Exceptional Restaurant. Dining and bar area very clean, bright and tastefully decorated. Bar selection from beer to wine to spirits is extensive. Lunch menu also quite extensive. Item that stood out was the burger, which ended up proving to be of high quality and exceptional taste. Coupled with an Italian beer made for an exquisite lunch. I will return to try the dinner menu. Highly recommend a visit.

Second Visit: this time the dining experience is actually much much much better. The food is delicious. The service this time is timely and attentive. Our waitress Emily is extremely nice! Recommend! First Visit：It was first time for us to visit, but the service was so bad that we do not plan to revisit. Our waitress was particularly rude. She only showed up one time at our table after the plates were served. Most of time we dined with empty water bottle on table. (And the paella was so salty that it was impossible to eat without water at table) The WORST part was that she cleaned our plates and throw trash into our paella plate before ask whether we were finished (WHICH WE WEREN’T). And we even found trashed shrimp shell in our to-go box! How ridiculous..What else, she never showed up with our requested balsamic vinegar. She has really bad attitude when we asked her to refill our water and refill our bread basket.

Went for lunch. The crispy brussels sprouts plate was good. We had chicken kebab plate which was disappointing- it was salty and oily, the tzatziki and egg plant were burried under the bread. The salmon plate was usual, but nice presentation. I felt it was a little bit overpriced. Also wanted to try their paella but it is not on the lunch menu, seems it is only served after 3..

Had the half rack of lamb, which was prepared perfectly, however the dijon mustard in the crust (not mentioned in the description) really took away from the experience overpowering a very nice cut of lamb. Had it been listed I'd had asked to hold it. The basil/pea puree was a wonderful complement to the root veggies. Finished off with the tiramisu and an espresso. Great atmosphere, my only real disappointment was the unlisted dijon mustard on the lamb.

The restaurant has a good vibe and upscale materials, but if you plan to get dinner for two, you will be spending north of 100 dollars. The ingredients used in the meals are upscale and fine; however, the portions to price ratios are nowhere near attainable or acceptable. Also, the service there was not the best. The server never brought us oil with our bread (all other tables had got one) and I never got the dressing I requested for my salad. All in all, it was not a good experience for the price. Sorry Mediterrano, I won't be coming back nor recommending to friends and colleagues.

Alright so got sent here to do work. Help add cameras and the place is awesome. All the staff is really nice, owner is super cool and ended up buying me and other tech I was with lunch. I got something called Panzenalla being adventurous and oh my god was it good. Got some chicken as an add on to dip in the sauce. The cook is super cool and funny and really knows what he is doing. The wait staff is super nice and really speedy. You won't be asking for refills. This place is amazing I live in Grand Blanc and will definitely be coming here in future for dates.
