I had dinner with three colleagues at 5:30 on a Wednesday. We sat inside by the window and enjoyed every single dish. We tried several dishes and loved each one. They offer non-alcohol and alcohol drinks and have an upstairs patio which looks over the small playground. The staff are super friendly and noticed that we were in deep conversation and didn’t bother us. I gave the perfect amount of service. I would go back here many many times.Dietary restrictions: They offer several gluten-free options in my friend with celiac really enjoyed the pizza
I was super excited to try this place out because they have a lot of vegan options. I came with a friend. We started off with the broccoli salad. It sounded good from the description but wasn't quite what I thought it would be. It was basically some grilled broccoli with hummus. For my main I got the vegan veggie pizza, and it was delicious. My friend got the eggplant stack and wasn't a fan of it. At one point we were even convinced that they gave her the meat eggplant dish because what was on her plate didn't match the description. Our waitress reassured us that it was the correct dish. They could do a better job of describing dishes on the menu to avoid confusion. We finished the night with the lemon blueberry cheesecake. It was good, but I was stunned out how teeny tiny the portion was for a $9 price tag. From the photos I thought it was bigger. It is about half the size of a regular portion of cheesecake. Lastly, I noticed that our waitress, who might have been the owner or manager too, reprimanded another server over a small mistake she made (she took away our silverware after our appetizer). I got bad vibes. Overall, I did enjoy the food, but there were a couple of things that rubbed me and my friend the wrong way. I don't see myself coming back anytime soon.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are labeledDietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options, menu is labeled

The food here is mostly just okay. The drinks are nice. The real star is the pecan pie though. 10/10 for that item, would order just a whole pie from here and make myself sick off of it because it’s so good.

The maple butternut shrimp risotto was fantastic! Street parking was easy. I would definitely come back here to eat.

The service was phenomenal and everyone loved their dishes. The restaurant is located in Grant Park and has free street parking. They all have a rooftop when the weather allows. I'll definitely be back.

The ambiance was great on the rooftop, pretty nice view and the service is great. I was not enthralled by the food. I know they're trying to lean into the healthy thing, but I feel like maybe the food lacked flavor or freshness? I don't know. It just didn't work for me.

This spot is so cute. Ambiance and service were great. I was a little worried about street parking because I'm terrible at parking but there was so much around the area that it wasn't an issue at all. We split the feta appetizer between four people and it was very good. Only complaint is that there wasn't nearly enough bread for the amount of feta provided. I got the eggplant involtini for my entree. The flavors were amazing! The side salad was very refreshing and needed because it is a lot of cheese, so just be aware if you're thinking of pairing that with a cheese-based appetizer like I did lol. Would definitely recommend the entree though. For dessert we got the lemon tiramisu which didn't really impress anyone in my party.

I have celiac and I was able to eat here with no worries as their entire menu is gluten free. The food was delicious and there are a lot of options!

Food and service are exceptional. It's a smaller space so make sure to make to make a reservation or call ahead.
Excellent food and service! Such a treasure in Grant Park! Bonus that everything is gluten free, but you would never know based on how delicious everything is.

The place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Maybe that is why we were pretty disappointed by the food. The moussaka was clearly not of the day, since it was cold when served. The mushroom and spinach lasagna wasn’t very warm either and very bland. The Kofte tasted good but were very dry. For the price the food should be better.

They’re back! Took a while coming out of Covid times but our recent meal and several neighbors’ meals were great. All gluten free but you wouldn’t believe it. The focaccia is phenomenal. Think I might go back again next week.Vegetarian options: I think over half the menu is vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free with a good many vegetarian options. There are some meat dishes, so your whole group should be happy.

We always have a great time at Mediterannea: Excellent food (can't get enough of the involtini), friendly and efficient service, delightful atmosphere, and amazingly low prices.

Good food in a very relaxed atmosphere. Not a real wide menu which could be improved if the served saffron rice.
