I was around 4.5 rating for this place but couldn't overlook a few important details... Plus Yelp…read moredoesn't allow half measures :) Found this place by accident as I was searching for the nearest spot with decent reviews to grab a dinner. Yelp app wasn't loading due to network issues in the area, so I had to use Google Maps. Glad I did as otherwise I'd have never discovered this restaurant since it hadn't been on Yelp. The restaurant located at the back of Le Mer Condominiums building. You have to go through the main entrance for the building and then ask front desk on how to get to the restaurant. There's no outside or inside signage indicating there's a restaurant, so the place is literally undiscoverable unless you are looking for it. It does look comparatively new and the number of reviews on Google at the time of my visit was also very limited (19 to be precise) with the oldest dating 2 months back. I'd question the owner's plan on bringing more business into the restaurant because, again, no one would know it's there... The best evidence of the lack of advertisement and popularity is the fact that on Friday evening I was literally the only customer in attendance. The interior looks welcoming and casual, it does give an impression that the owner(s) attempted to make it special with some fun decor details. There's a separate bar area, that said, it doesn't have a bartender and doesn't seem to attract guests. There's also outside seating which is probably the main attraction during morning and day times. As I was there in the evening, the strong wind wasn't making it an option to sit outside. The turn off for the interior was the exposure to the kitchen that is visible from any seat within the interior space. I could see how when more guests are around and cooking is more active, the smells and sounds would make it feel overwhelming to be there. Also there were cute bar stools placed along the bar counter separating the tables from the kitchen. It looked like their main purpose was storage of extra pillows that were probably brought from outside due to the strong wind. I can't imagine a customer being interested in seating in one of those stools and staring at the kitchen. The fact that the stools were used for storage was definitely affecting the feel from the interior in a negative way. The service was good with the waiter being friendly and available. Well, there were no other guests, so there were no distractions for the staff. The menu is limited and mainly built around popular items from Eastern European cuisine such as Bosch soup, vareniki, Beef Stroganoff, etc. There are a couple of Contemporary American cuisine items too like chicken wings and burgers. Kids menu surprised me by a wide selection of options (see pics). The drink options listed on the menu are very limited from the alcohol perspective. There are just four unnamed wines (just the type of wine is listed), all for $15/glass and three beer options priced at $6. The lack of alcohol selection is possibly compensated by the offering by a wider assortment of regular tea for $8, crafted tea for $13, fresh squeezed juice for $7, and lemonades and smoothies for $12. It's unclear what the quantity the customer will be receiving after paying the hefty price for such non-alcoholic beverages though. Hoping it's a good amount to share. If you are still reading, you probably figured out that another downside of the place is pricing. Additionally to the overpriced beverages, there are other items that hit you with a large price tag, e.g. Bosch soup for $15 and desserts starting at $13/portion. From the food quality and taste perspective: the Borsch I tried was pretty good and served in a beautiful bowl, the mini chebureki were really tiny, tasted okay but lacked the expected juiciness and amount of filling was very less. The carrot juice was great and looked just prepared (as one would expect). To sum up, the place might be great for sunny warm time to sit outside and grab some food and non-alcoholic beverages, probably great if you have children to feed. Not the best option for a romantic dinner or fun get together with friends that would involve alcoholic beverages (unless you are good with unknown wine or Corona).

Simple and good menu. Friendly service…read more Good food reasonably priced. Love the hamburgers and the soups.

It's a kind of place that you come with your family start with a Mediterranean sampler because of course it's going to bring a little bit of everything then the chicken Shawarma, which, with the creamiest dreamier sauce the halloumi but those lamb chops I think my biggest regret was not ordering more of the lamb chops, like I was literally drooling on that. There's even a seven spaces burger with actual lamb. You have to check them out.

Avoid this place at all costs…read more This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The falafel was terrible, the chicken kebob plate was awful, and the overall food quality was completely unacceptable for somewhere calling itself Mediterranean cuisine. The dish claimed to come with peppers there was literally one tiny piece in the entire kebab. The chicken had no flavor and tasted poorly, and the rice was completely off, more like Mexican rice than anything remotely Mediterranean. What's even more frustrating is the way the staff handled it. When we raised concerns, they didn't take any responsibility and brushed it off as if the issue was on us. No attempt to fix the problem, no acknowledgment just dismissive and unprofessional. And somehow, they charge a mandatory 20% service fee for this. For what? There was zero service, zero care, and zero effort to make things right. Charging customers extra while delivering this level of food and attitude is unacceptable. Do not waste your time or money here. There are far better options out there. Honestly, I'd take store-bought hummus from Publix over this. If you actually want good Mediterranean food and proper service, go to Ethos instead it's night and day. This place is not worth it.

Dinner at Alacati Mediterranean Restaurant…read more Had the best time visiting Alacati Mediterranean Restaurant for dinner with my daughter! We had such a wonderful experience. The service was great, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant offers Turkish and Greek-inspired Mediterranean cuisine, featuring grilled meats, fresh seafood, and handmade mezze. We started with drinks a Cosmo and a Mango Margarita.the Char-Grilled Octopus as an appetizer, and it was delicious! For our main course, we shared the Mixed Grill, which included lamb chops, meat patties, chicken, and Adana, served with grilled vegetables and Orzo Pilav. Everything was flavorful, tender, and perfectly prepared. We also had the Lahmacun, topped with ground meat and finely chopped vegetables--so delicious and full of flavor! Of course, we had to finish with dessert! The Kazandibi was silky and creamy, with a beautiful caramelized base and delicate hints of mastic and rose water. The perfect way to end our meal! Overall, we had an amazing dinner and enjoyed every bite. It was a wonderful evening with my daughter, and we will definitely be back to try more of the delicious dishes on the menu!

Interesting name for a cafe but I guess any eatery containing the word "Yum" is probably a decent choice. The barista was friendly and grinded me an Austrian Juilius Meinl Espresso which was presented in a small clear glass coffee cup on a porcelain saucer and a metal stirring spoon which was much appreciated. I know this brand of coffee well and its strong. A few sips and I was already shaking while writing this review. Barely any food displayed on the counter but the barista advised that it's a cook to order concept for the freshest results. Noticed the four large black caldruns of soups - Split Pea, Lentil, Onion and Creamy Tomato. Tried samples of the Lentil and Creamy Tomato which tasted fresh and hot. Each 12oz cup is well priced at $7.45. Cups of fresh squeezed OJ are ready in a cooler for customer consumption. There is outdoor covered seating with a huge inside dining room with a bunch of earthy paintings on the walls. A key must be obtained from the staff to enter the gender assigned bathrooms. The men's bathroom was clean but tight with wall placards advising not to throw paper or feminine products into the toilet - but toilet paper too?

Love that there's enclosed seating and not the open air seating that you'll find up and down the boardwalk.
