Deniz Mediterranean serves beautifully presented dishes, but my experience was mixed. The Turkish…read moredumplings looked great, yet had very little meat inside, which made the dish feel flat and unbalanced. The filling should carry the flavor, and it just wasn't there. The sauce was another surprise. I've never said this in my life because I normally love sauce, but there was far too much of it, and it was pretty much flavorless. Instead of elevating the dumplings, it overwhelmed them without adding anything to the taste. Overall, the presentation is lovely and the menu has potential, but the dumplings need more filling and a more flavorful, restrained sauce to match their visual appeal.

The restaurant's menu lists pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, omelettes, salads, paninis, quesadillas, and many Mediterranean foods (e.g., hummus, falafel, kebabs, baklava, etcetera). My husband and I have eaten breakfast and dinner here. Employees told us that we could sit at a table of our choosing. After reasonable waits, two employees brought our beverages, foods, and bills. Here are our ratings for the foods: Pancake tacos - 4 stars - Pancakes were folded around eggs, cheese, and bacon. My husband said that the tacos were slightly falling apart, so he ended up eating the pancakes separately from the other ingredients. He would have preferred that the bacon be cooked longer to get crispy. Nevertheless, the ingredients were very fresh and tasty. Waffle Heaven - 5 stars - This waffle was a large size, and it was topped with Nutella, strawberries, bananas, caramel sauce, and walnuts. On the side was cream. I really enjoyed the flavors. Mushroom sauté - 4.5 stars - This entree had such a wonderful aroma! It contained lots of mushrooms, green peppers, onions, melted cheese, and some eggs (and no tomatoes at my request). It was similar to scrambled eggs with vegetables mixed in, but it contained fewer eggs. Sausages - 4 stars - My husband ate a few small sausages. I took one bite, and I thought that they tasted alright. My husband gobbled them up. Hummus and pita bread - 4.5 stars - The pita bread was fresh and warm and tasted very good. We would have preferred a slightly stronger flavor to the hummus. Vegetarian sauté - 5 stars - This entree contained eggplant, green peppers, onion, garlic, tomato, and potato, and I greatly enjoyed the flavors. The serving size was so large that I had leftovers for the next day. Chicken kebab - 4 stars - Chicken thighs were marinated and grilled with herbs. The meat was very juicy and cooked well, but my husband wanted a stronger marinade and different sauce. Baklava - 4.5 stars - I received a generous serving size of four pieces. I liked the phyllo dough and nuts. Beverages - 5 stars - We drank bottled water, orange juice, and mango juice.

For some reason, I had a feeling that something was amiss regarding this dining experience. I made…read morethe reservation on RESY and we were set. We got to the restaurant, approached the podium, I expressed the reservation and was told that they did not have one for me. We were asked to sit in the penalty box until they were able to find a table. We were fortunate and were seated. Our server was great. Very personable, helpful with the menu, made recommendations, etc. We ordered cocktails, which were very good. We then placed our order for dinner. My spouse had the beans and greens which were found to be quite good. I had the house salad which was also very good. For an entree, Bo ordered CACIO E PEPE and I ordered, BUCATINI all'AMATRICIANA. This is where we started to descend into food limbo. The cacio e pepe was flavorless with as little pepper as possible. So few, in fact that you could accurately count them. The pasta was overcooked and mushy. My entree was another disappointment. In the description, it states: "Bucatini Pasta, Guanciale, San Marzano Tomatoes, Pecorino Romano" Now, can any of you, off the top of your heads, tell me what Guanciale is? Guanciale just happens to be, an Italian cured meat made from pork jowl or cheek. Its name comes from guancia, the Italian word for cheek. It is rubbed with salt, black pepper, and spices, then aged for several weeks, creating a rich meat with a high fat content that is prized for flavoring classic pasta sauces. In my entree they were small cubes, meat-like, and one side of each cube was burnt to a crips, solid black and real crunchy. It gave the whole dish a burnt taste. Not the best. For dessert, Bo ordered the Banana Sundae Cheesecake. I bet you thought it tasted like bananas. Nope. It tasted like cheesecake. I passed on dessert. My choice was determined by the quality of my entry. Atmosphere. There are some restaurants, these days, where you have to raise your voice to talk to one another. Here we had to literally scream but still not be able to hear one another. It's all too common now to forego a suspended tile ceiling and carpet on the floor, which absorbs the sound. This was absolutely the loudest dining establishment I was ever in. Looking around, it seemed that most people have bought into the notion that this is as good as it gets when it comes to dining ambiance. Look, I'm old school and this just didn't cut it for us. There certainly are a lot who love the restaurant and grade it accordingly. I'm just not one of them. Bon appetit!

We came in for an early dinner on Saturday 8/29/26 around 5pm before a show at Heinz Field (yes, I KNOW it's Acrisure Stadium - it will always be Heinz Field). This place is packed. As expected. Nowhere to sit, every single table was full. When a party finally left we snagged the dirty table that was never cleaned while we were there. We tried to get food from Mijo but were told before we ordered it would be a ln hour wait for food. We had the time but wasn't sure we wanted to wait that long. We grabbed a couple beers from the bar and the wait wasn't long. The bartender was not terribly pleasant, but he was buried and there were some other patrons that were not being patient or kind. It is REALLY loud - as expected, concrete floors, wood tables and metal chairs, high ceilings and nothing to dampen the sound. All of that said - it's a great space. All the food we saw looked great and we Will definitely be back at some point.

Once inside the restaurant, I asked an employee about their parking, and she replied that customers may park also on the street or even across the street at the Subway restaurant (which is temporarily closed and used to open later in the day). Dominic's Diner serves breakfast and lunch on most days of the week. Be sure to look up their current hours before you drive there. Examples of their foods are eggs, bacon, ham, pancakes, French toast, omelettes, oatmeal, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and onion rings. Please see my attached photos for the full menus in October 2023. As soon as my husband and I entered the restaurant, we saw a sign that said to wait to be seated, but an employee soon told us that we could choose our table. We sat at a four-seat table near the window. After a few minutes, our waitress introduced herself and gave us menus. Throughout the service, she smiled and made courteous conversation. She promptly took our orders and brought out our beverages and foods. My husband felt impressed that this restaurant offers both Coke and Pepsi products. Here are my reviews for our foods: French toast with bacon - $13.25 - 4.5 stars - I received three slices of French toast, which were fresh and wonderfully sweet, and three slices of bacon, which were meaty, crispy, and satisfyingly salty. Cheese omelette with ham - $12.25 + $3 - 4 stars - My husband said that this omelette was a very large size and that the taste was good. On the side were home fries, which were cubes of potato that tasted very good, and toast, which was toasted well. We paid for our meal up front. The cashier used a swivel touch-pad for a cash register. As we were leaving, another employee thanked us and said goodbye.

Many wines, cocktails, and beers are available. Customers may either dine in or get takeout. My husband and I ate one dinner here. The hostess/waitress promptly seated us, took our order, brought out our foods, accurately charged us, and thanked us. Here are my ratings for what my husband and I ate during our three-course meal: March salad - 5 stars - This fresh salad contained a lettuce blend, goat cheese, beets, cauliflower, sunflower seeds, and a delicious celery-seed dressing. Shrimp bisque - 4.5 stars - My husband did not like this shrimp-flavored soup, but I did like it. Crab cakes - 5 stars - I received two HUGE Chesapeake-style crab cakes that were almost purely crab meat. They were much larger than what other restaurants serve, and they tasted fantastic. My husband said that they were some of the best crab cakes that we have eaten in a while. The sides were rice pilaf and cream spinach. Corned beef - 3 stars - My husband does not like many foods, so he barely ate these beef slices on top of potato cakes, cabbage, and horseradish sauce. Given his preferences, he should have ordered a safer entree. I took a bite of this entree and thought that it tasted alright. Lemon curd - 4.5 stars - My dessert was two lemon bars served with fresh blackberries, blackberry compote, and whipped cream. I liked the combination of sour and sweet flavors. The total bill was $104 plus tax and tip. THANK YOU to the gentleman who was sitting at the table next to me and noticed that I had accidentally left behind my take-home container of leftover crab cake. He followed me outside and handed me the container. Thank you! Important information: Walk-ins are welcome, but restaurants via Resy are recommended. The dress code is smart casual. I wore a casual dress, and my husband wore a polo shirt and jeans. I saw another customer wearing a business suit. The website mentions parking vehicles either at nearby street meters or in limited residential parking spots. An ADA parking spot is behind the restaurant.

This was this past Sunday at about 3pm…read more Went in and were seated immediately. We were shown to a back corner table by the bar. No one came to greet us for maybe five minutes, and I started to get nervous because there were only about five other occupied tables in the restaurant and I figured that servers would be pretty prompt. The person that served us turned out to be the bartender as the bar was right next to our table. This person did not offer us water, ask have you been here before, or any of the other pleasantries that all the other wait staff was telling to the other tables that we could hear. The other wait staff was telling people about the breakfast and their specials and the biscuits and everything and we got nothing. I don't know why we weren't seated somewhere with a server who didn't have to also deal with the bar, but our service was extremely slow and I am sure that is why. I ordered the lemonade and it was really delicious except that I would've liked to have had a water to drink as well. My husband ordered an iced coffee which he said was good but it was in a very tiny brandy type glass that could not have been more than 6 ounces. At five dollars for each of our drinks I would think that it could be maybe a little bigger. The person helping us never came back to talk about refills or having another drink or water or anything. We ordered the biscuits and I ordered a breakfast meal and my husband ordered the half of a chicken. I wanted my eggs over easy and they were almost hard. They were definitely not over easy; they were overcooked. Everything else was acceptable but not delicious. My husband's chicken was very juicy. He didn't get his salad until a few minutes after our entrées were delivered though. A different server brought the salad over to us and she said "ha ha found it" trying to make a joke, but it was like yeah we get it. You guys aren't very good at running food out. When it was time to pay, it took us asking for the bill to get it and then at least five minutes for it to be picked back up when we would've liked to have been on our way. The food was ordinary and the service was pretty bad. We won't be back again. Our breakfast was $50 plus $10 tip and parking and we can get much better service elsewhere for that same price.
