My wife and I went here for lunch a few days ago and it was ok. Nothing to write home about. We got a chicken and a gyro sandwich. I have eaten gyros before but this one was unique. I did read the description and tried something new. If you have eaten a gyro before this has their spin on it. My wife's meal, chicken sandwich, should have just said a chicken wrap and not sandwich. The sandwich/wrap was almost as the same as my gyro. I just feel that they should not have called my gyro a gyro because it did not have tzatziki sauce on it. Everyone knows that gyros always have tzatziki sauce but I did try something new and it was a nice try but a strikeout for me. read more

I've eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Great selections on the menu and well prepared food. You may even bring your on wine. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere. Love it! read more

I was excited to try a new place and love Mediterranean food. I was very underwhelmed by the food quality. Hummus is overloaded with tahini, pita bread is store bought, yellow rice is flavorless, and the salads are made with iceberg lettuce. Salmon and Kofta medallions were flavorful, but all in all, too much money for a subpar meal. read more

Great atmosphere and food is delicious. Lamb chops are the best I have ever eaten. Owner and staff are always polite, gracious and eager to serve. Our "go to" for date night. Take-out is amazing as well. read more

Great local restaurant!! The food is always good! The owner is very visible and the staff is very accommodating. Get the beef tips (not on the menu). Greek salad, yellow rice and perfectly cooked beef tips on top. Delicious!! And the atmosphere is very laid back. read more

We eat here a minimum of once a week! everything on the menu is delicious. The salmon is phenomenal!!! Salads freshest anywhere! Service is excellent and atmosphere is cozy but not overcrowded.. If planning to go on the weekend .. Make reservations as this is an extremely popular restaurant with the local folks! Lunches are also a local favorite!! Our favorites are all the appetizers and entrée favs are the salmon, chicken, and steak! read more

This is my new favorite restaurant in town, FRESH FOOD , OUTSTANDING service, you need to come eat here. For an appetizer we ordered the bruschetta and it came on their homemade pitas bread with fresh basil and fresh tomatoes drizzled with their oils and let me tell you it was AMAZING. My husband had the Salmon dish with a side greek salad and I had the Chicken Kabobs with grilled veggies and a side greek salad. We ordered the Chicken Kabobs with chips for our son and ended up sharing a slice of amaretto cheese cake which was recommended by our server Niki. Our entire meal was Fresh and Flavorful, the Chicken was grilled to perfection and paired with fresh veggies and to die for yellow rice. My husband loved him salmon and it had the perfect glaze on it. We will be returning to this location and cannot wait to try everything on the menu. Thank goodness we found a fresh healthy restaurant in the south, instead of always eating fried foods! read more

Best food in Lexington! Great food, fresh, healthy selections, and great atmosphere! We go here almost every week and its consistent!

Great place to eat service is awesome. Very quant restaurant. Always see someone you know.

The gyro has hamburger meat on it and the yogurt sauce was runny. There aren't any items on the menu with lamb.

A great place to eat in Lexington. I love doing business locally. My wife and I love their Salmon. The wait staff is always excellent. If you are ever there, when they have mussels, they are some of the best in the state! Truly one of Lexington's best kept secrets. read more

I cannot believe others have not rated this place higher! Great food! The chicken is always so tasty and tender!

The restaurant had only 2 servers the Thursday we were there and they hustled but were seriously understaffed. My Kofta medallions were good- well seasoned with yellow rice, hummus and tabouli. My companion had what was described as broiled shrimp with black olives and feta and a wine sauce. What he got were shrimp swimming in a soup bowl-very messy to eat and not what he anticipated. Doube we'd come back. read more

Quaint restaurant with a cozy feel. Attentive serving staff and a nice sampling of wine. I had the chicken kabobs which were well grilled, juicy & flavorful. The salad was perfectly portioned so I wasn't overly full by the time my entrée arrived, and I loved the yellow rice. I dined on the patio to enjoy the beautiful evening weather and the only thing that could have made the rating a 5 star would have been if the patio bug control was better. (Light gauzy nets draped to keep the flies away could only add to the ambiance.) Other than shooing them away, it was a great meal. read more

Nice setting! No TV's so we had great food and conversation! Delicious kabobs with fresh veggies. Lamb chops were the special and did not disappoint. read more

Great food and great service as usual! The baba ganoush is really good and fresh. He Greek salad is also fresh with lots of feta. Tonight we had the grilled salmon and shrimp. Cooked perfectly and excellent flavor. This place is always good! read more

I was in town for a couple nights for work and the Mediterranean cafe was close to the hotel I was staying in. I thought I would eat there due to location , but when I was seated the wait staff was friendly and attentive and the food was great. read more

Went to dinner on a Friday night and it was fairly crowded. We waited a few minutes before being acknowledged. Ordered an appetizer baba ganoush . I've had much better. It did not have much flavor. I also order an eggplant pizza. It was on warm pita bread and smaller than the dinner plate. Average at best food. The service was also average. I won't be going back. read more

I have dined at the Mediterranean Cafe several times and have enjoyed each and every visit. Their Brochette is to die for - not sure how they have such wonderful tomatoes year around. In fact, I can honestly say that I have never had anything that was substandard at the Cafe. It is a bit of a drive for us, but well worth it when we are in the mood for Mediterranean food. read more

Food was tasteless. Oh wait a minute, we never got any food.Multiple staff members standing around talking to each other but no service for us. Also, only a few people in the restaurant and we were first placed at a table by the door. It was 30 something degrees.Maybe they were mad that we asked to move.Anyway we have been there before.Edible but really only so good to begin with.Limited menu. If there is someone from Greece cooking, it doesn't mean they know butt about Greek cooking.I walked out saying I will never be back. read more

Pretty surprised at some of the lower reviews on here. My family has eaten here for a regular basis since it opened years back and I have NEVER had a less than amazing meal. The hummus and pita are the absolute best and the filet is amazing. I also love the salmon, chicken and rice, and chicken gyro. Good ambiance and my absolute favorite place to go in Lexington. read more

Unfortunately this is very average. Was hoping for more. Greek salad with salmon.. I guess the one olive and feta cheese made it Greek. Lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers all needed cutting three times to get a bite size. Average tasting dressing. Salmon was ok. Falafel tasteless. Wine list hohum. Atmosphere could have been any restaurant and really ordinary. Price would have been fine if the food was above average. Wait staff was extremely friendly and the service was excellent. read more

We had a party of six so I did not want to make a fuss over the inedible mess they served up. Others in my party had better experiences so I am just commenting on mine. I ordered the shrimp scampi, what arrived should never have left the kitchen if a real chef was on duty. Nice sized shrimp sautéed with mushroom slices served over cold yellow rice floating in 1/4 inch of red colored flavorless grease. Rice was under cooked and the over all flavor was Cajun ??? Just plain nasty! I sent it back to be micro waved to heat it up. No help there. Explained to the server that the dish was a great disappointment and please tell the "chef" because I am sure they would want to know. There was no feed back and no mention of the meal or my disappointment . They do not apologize for the bad experience or attempt to offer compensation . Service was okay . A few other incidents at the table leads me to think the kitchen needs better management . This was an expensive meal we did not get value for. read more

Honest customers have to take the brunt of the owner's mistake... I purchased a restaurant.com gift certificate ($25, if you spend $45). The owner refused to accept it, saying that he broke his contract with them because they were selling $100 gift cards when he only authorized the $25 ones. I told him, in that case then, he should still accept my $25 gift card. But he said no because it was too old. I showed him the gift certificate clearly says "This certificate does not expire". He disregarded what I thought were valid points. He then kept saying how he should never have entered into a contract with restaurant.com because it lost him money. Well, that is his problem, not mine! Had he done the right thing, owned up to his mistake and honored the gift certificate, I would have respected that and returned again to support this local business. Unfortunately, the owner was smug and greedy when it came to dealing with a situation that is clearly his own fault. The food was AVERAGE. read more

Ate here Saturday night and ordered the double pork chop dinner. One chop arrived with the plate and sides with a promise of the second chop later. The second chop arrived after about ten minutes, probably cooked in an oil and garlic sauce, completely different than the sauce the original came in. A bruschetta appetizer was passed around the table and was dry and tasteless. This place is not serious about food and someone in the kitchen is just following some formula left behind by someone long gone. Very disappointing. read more

Great seafood and steaks. Always packed on weekends. Service is always over the top. Local favorite.
