We had a wonderful meal while passing through Princeton. Our waitress Mani was so warm and welcoming. Every dish was well-prepared and you could tell the quality of the ingredients was excellent. We had Caesar salad, gazpacho and the branzino. The branzino was to die for. So, so good! Great spot. We will absolutely return when we are in the area. Thank you Mediterranean for an excellent meal!

The perfect destination for Palmer Square dining. Great for romantic date or business lunch. Excellent Soanish tapas and entrees. Old school formal but friendly service. My go-to place for lunch or dinner for decades. Pricey but good value as food prep is excellent.

Appetizers (in the picture) were delicious and we wished the portions were a little bigger considering the price! Main courses did not stand out. The area is wonderful though and the outdoor seating offers a wonderful view of Palmer Square! Vegetarian options are limited for main courses so would recommend ordering more starters.
