50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Irvington

“Moved to Irvington 2 years ago & its my go to restaurant , great food, the BEST drinks & amazing service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I attended a surprise party this Saturday evening. The cuisine was preselected, waiter service was excellent, should receive raises. The table arrangement was very poor. The party was downstairs in one of the private rooms. We were 25 people at one very long table, basically the length of the room, which made it difficult for guests to get around the seated persons at the head of the table on either side. Having two tables would have been a better arrangement, but one long table was not conducive for conversation since we were so far from the other end of the table. The food; not many complaints, I really didn’t have a problem. I didn’t have a lot of food, but it was delicious. The dessert, sorry not very good. Those Famous Crepes(palacinkes) sorry not that great. A lot of crepe and not a lot of filling. The dish was served with fruit, unfortunately this fruit was not in season, so the watermelon although it added color to the dish, upon tasting it, left much to be desired. Why not serve fruit that is in season? No offense to my party hosts who selected my menu for the evening, it didn’t lend itself to the 5 Star Reputation of Dubrovnik’s. I would like to make reservations and splurge on a dinner on my own, I have a feeling I would LOVE the experience! Btw, another plus was the parking!“

“Have come here few times and this place never disappoints. Menu has something for everyone at a reasonable price. We had the skirt steak and paella for the 4 of us along with appetizers and it was delicious and plentiful! We came here on a Sunday afternoon and had the place to ourselves!“

“The Margarita pizza was excellent.. crispy, tasty crust, marvelous sauce with just the right amount of cheese. As anticipated the mussels were large and tender.. swimming in a wonderfully flavored sauce, great for dipping the toasted bread. And the pear salad was delicious.. I wasn't sure how the flavors would blend, but the chef made it happen, 5 stars across the board“

“High quality food, great drinks, and great service. A New City secret spot. Just go and thank me later.“

“This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant with generous portions. The appetizers are great and the mains are excellent. I love their gyro meat, Shepard salad and assorted appetizer plate. If you enjoy Turkish food you can’t go wrong with this restaurant.“

“Delicious, healthy, and fresh food. One of my favorite restaurants. Great for taking out when you don’t feel like cooking lunch or dinner, or for dining in. Good vegetarian options too. And my absolute favorite frozen yogurt. Nothing compares to it. So good.“

“This was my first experience at Aurora Honestly I picked it because one of the few that still had reservations available. Yet it turned out to be a great choice. My meal was very good, the service was perfect and the portions surprisingly generous. My only disappointments were the iced tea was not brewed and did not taste good. Also I felt it was a bit poor taste for an upscale establishment to charge a credit card surcharge.“

“Husband and I finally dined here a little over a week ago for an early birthday dinner for me and the entire experience was nothing short of sublime. Although I was tempted by the views from the window-side tables, I wanted the Kitchen Table experience, and it was an excellent choice. We drove down from Dutchess County (fyi, whoever designed the Taconic Parkway should be fired, but I digress). The complimentary valet parking made our arrival easy. We were directed to the elevator and from the moment we got off on the floor of the restaurant, we were greeted immediately, and the entire staff was incredibly attentive, polite, and welcoming. The main dining areas are nicely decorated and subtly sophisticated. The chef’s table experience was phenomenal. We got very personal attention from the chef and staff members, and enjoyed watching (and inhaling the aromas from) both the main kitchen and pastry side during our meal. The service was excellent and attentive without being overbearing. Water and wine were poured promptly, the pacing of the courses was perfect, and the explanation for the dishes and wine were appreciated. We decided to get the wine pairing, and the pours were both generous and excellently paired with the courses. It was a lot of wine so by the 4th or 5th glass, I was really feeling it and enjoying myself, to say the least. The food was outstanding across the board. I love seafood so I was quite happy with the 7 fish offerings. We started out with 3 different breads, all different and all delicious, and I’m pretty sure I ate the roasted yeast butter on its own, and then uni and yellowtail, which are 2 of my favorites. It feels kind of dismissive to say “all of the courses were delicious,” but they really were. The black cod, iberico pork shoulder with fava been puree, and the prime dry aged rib eye were probably my favorite courses. I wish I had more room since the chef offered us additional rib eye, but I was pretty much at capacity and we still had dessert. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The iberico pork dish was crispy, salty, full of umami flavor, and it paired perfectly with the grassy, herbaceous, and silky fava bean puree. There was only one course that I wasn’t as enthusiastic about, the bacalhau a bras carmelle. Each course was so good that I couldn’t wait to see if the next would top it. Each course was a few bites, leading up to the larger beef at the end. Of the 3 dessert courses, the first 2 were my favorite. The first was “pear” which was a contrast of textures and temperatures. It was really outstanding and the cold bits in the dessert were a nice, light contrast to the heavy meal we had just finished. The next was a tart/cold dessert with sweet potato shavings and biscuit-like crackers (my dearest apologies to the pastry chef, I cannot describe it any better). It was all so different and worked well together. Again, the contrast in textures/temperature/flavors worked so well together. By the last dessert course, I was fairly stuffed and couldn’t finish. Again, there was a savory component (lettuce) that was (and I’m guessing here) caramelized so it was sweet and I ate both pieces. There was a custard as well and the crust was so flaky, and I was sorry that I couldn’t eat more of it. 3 ½ hours later, we waddled out quite satisfied and happy. Next time, we’d skip the wine pairing because it was simply too much but I can’t wait to visit here again and try new dishes. I don’t think I can accurately convey how delicious our food was or what a great time we had.“

“When I am in town I frequent this establishment as often as possible. They provide the best mediterranean food on the East Coast. The service is impeccable. The food is out of this world. Thank you so much for being around.“

“Best restaurant in Westchester!“

“Outstanding food. Order regularly in New Rochelle through direct deals with the restaurant. Love the chicken, shrimp and grilled veggies. Fresh food, large portions, perfectly cooked every time. Nelson and the entire team are super friendly and always go the extra mile with service“

“Modern on the Rails is a solid dinner spot. It’s a great location and the ambiance/decor is a total vibe. It’s definitely got an upscale feel, while also not being stuffy or fancy. You could easily go here for dinner in jeans and not feel out of place, but also if you wanted to dress up for a date night or special occasion, it would also be appropriate.

The space is also really nice and is a good option if you were having a larger group or wanted to do a celebratory meal.

The staff is friendly and attentive.

The food is solid and the price is reasonable for what you are getting. They brought over bread to start and the bread was nice and warm. We started with the burrata app which weirdly came with 3 pieces of medium bread (same as the basket, but toasted or grilled). It felt like it should have been smaller crostini type bread and also more pieces given the app, but it didn’t matter because we had the warm bread basket. The app itself was nice, but not overly special.

For dinner we had the burger and the squid ink pasta with salmon. The burger was good, but the sweet potato fries needed any kind of seasoning, even salt. The pasta was the best dish of the night. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious and the pasta was great.

Overall, I would definitely come back here again. It’s a nice spot with reasonable prices, great ambiance and service, and the food is solid.“

“New adress: 16 memorial hwy, New Rochelle 10801 New York It continues to serve in its new place after covit 19. a larger and more spacious space. There is also a bar and outdoor seating. The same tastes and friendly services are waiting for its new customers at its new address.“

“Amazing happy hour - excellent raw bar and delicious drinks from enthusiastic & skilled staff :-) Dollar oysters are pretty much extinct in the city, so a delight to see them here (and good ones)! Save room for the honey bourbon bread pudding at the end... if you can xD“

“Excellent customer service“

“Great food!!! plenty of food choices. friendly service.“

“Compliments to Yalla for vert tasty, diversified and plentiful menu. We visited you yesterday with 2 teen grandchildren and everyone enjoyed her/his choice. Your food is flavorful & fresh, the service is efficient and polite, the potions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. -- Highly recommended.“

“Everything is wonderful, the grilled octopus is especially delicious.“

“What a delicious, pleasant surprise this little restaurant was! When I walked in I honestly didn't expect too much because it was small and completely empty, and could have been a little cleaner. However the food was outstanding, and I am VERY picky. My friend and I split a ginormous Greek salad (the stuffed grape leaves were unbelievable), and we each ordered a gyro. Mine was chicken and so good! We also ordered the side of fries, and for $4 we received a large basket of fresh, hand cut, perfectly cooked fries. I don't live anywhere New Rochelle but I'm hoping to make it back there!“

“رائع ومميز وبعده حلوه كثير“

“Google maps got us here with no problem, but the restaurant name has changed.

I ended up sampling four different appetizers. They were all excellent. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I don't know if the noise level is an issue as only one other table was occupied while we were there.“

“We found this spot a few months ago and are in love. The food hits the right spot! The flavors are so delicious.
The staff is so sweet, the service amazing, and the food comes out so fresh I wonder why I ever bother cooking. Honestly, if you haven’t tried this place yet, you need to go. They never disappoint, so good!“

“The owner was so friendly and so nice. And all the employees were so nice smiling and friendly too..I will come here again most definitely..if you are special to want eat turkish breakfast you should come here everything fresh and tasty 😋“

“Great food. One of my favorite places and its BYOB“

“Best chicken souvlaki pita I’ve ever had!“

“Stopped by for an early dinner. We were greeted with a smile when we walked in the door and seated quickly. Restaurant was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Menu was expansive with plenty of choices. Our server, Nicolle, promptly took our order. Food was fresh and tasted great. Service was top-notch. Will definitely be back in the near future.“

“Good food and nice service“

“I have been doing my self care Fridays dining using my Jetblue dining recommendations and this was the next restaurant in line. It was well worth the time and effort to go there. I had the fried calamari and the seafood rice. Both were very well done. I ordered takeout and spent the journey debating if I had a spoon or fork in my bag because the smell was so tantalizing. The portions are very large and could easily feed 3 people. The food was very good and I would definitely go back.“

“The Pastitio, potatoes and octopus were really good. We will be back.“
