Cafe Mediterranean is always a pleasure to visit; it is our go-to for special occasion date nights because we know the food will be excellent. The warmth of the staff and owner are exceptional. Thanks for a lovely evening!

March 2024Underwhelming experience at the restaurant. The food was bland and mediocre. The service was reasonable. It is difficult to park by the place.

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. Lamb shank was excellent and the Baklava was heaven.
What a great place in Hyde park! Delicious menu, excellent service and flavors that cannot be found elsewhere. Each time I find new things I want to try on the menu. Dinner here is a lovely experience.
From the disgusting old fashioned with a piece of dirt in it, to the stale bread, to the cold vegetables, and finally the absurd charge of $3.50 for a glass of soda water, this was a truly terrible experience.

I had been wanting to come here for so long and it definitely did not disappoint. Everything from the drinks, food, to the incredibly welcoming staff was amazing. Highly recommend.
Great little restaurant. Even has outside dining, when the weather warms up.Parking: Parking is what gives them 4 stars instead of 5. There is some meter parking in front and an extremely small lot behind the restaurant. Then free on street parking in the neighborhood behind them. If you are going at a busy time expect to do laps around to find a place.
Cafe Mediterranean is one of our favorite restaurants in Cincinnati! Fabulous food every time, and great & caring service. It is our happy place. Healthy selections that are beautifully made! See you again soon!
We have been here for dinner multiple times. The food is always good, we had hummus and the chicken kebabs and some wine. The service from everyone is polite, attentive, and fast. The staff is so great. I think you will have the same experience as us... I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful Valentines day lunch.Great service, the owner is a real detail man.
Parking is a big issue. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes from your reservation time to park. Unless you are lucky enough to get a meter spot in front you are going to be walking from the neighborhood from behind the restaurant.

Dined in with my partner, we are sitting in the parking lot right now writing this review. Initially we were going to go to a chain and decided to eat local and wow are we glad we did. Our host was so friendly, asking us where we were from and suggesting dishes (but in a friendly way! Not pushy at all)We got complimentary hummus sent to the table, ate our dinners, then got complimentary tea when we ordered the Pistachio BaklavaOverall we cant speak high enough of the food and the service. We are full and happy and will returnMy only critic is the music didn't seem to fit the setting, but once folks were filtering in and chatting it was not as noticeableAlso, get the Pistachio Baklava
