La Mediterranee predominantly serves Mediterranean and Middle Eastern favorites from North Africa, Armenia, Lebanon and Turkey. Playfully dubbed "La Med,” this restaurant serves up starters such as hummus, bulgur wheat tabouli, baba ganoush and dolmas (a rice mixture wrapped in a grape leaf). Sample them all in a combination, or pair them with a cup of cold cucumber and yogurt soup. Entrées include chicken pomegranate drumsticks, Lebanese kibbeh (ground lamb, cracked wheat and pine nuts) and a quiche of the day. For dessert try the datil amandra (a phyllo pillow filled with dates and nuts).
Beer and wine available. Serving lunch and dinner daily. Sat–Sun brunch.

"Hummus, baba ghanoush, chunks of feta, dolmas, and kalamata olives made a flavorful appetizer platter; hearty lamb meatballs, smothered in a concentrated, thick tomato sauce, were paired exquisitely with saffron-tinted rice as an entrée"
