" Disappointment! I had high hopes walking into Bistro Mediterranean, but sadly, my experience fell flat. The tapas were just okay, and the paella lacked the depth of flavor that I was expecting. Service was friendly but inattentive; we waited ages for our drinks and the food came out cold. The atmosphere was lovely, and the prices were reasonable, but the food was just lackluster. Perhaps this was just an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently ordered takeout from Bistro Mediterranean and was blown away by the quality of the food! The paella retained its flavors beautifully even when packed to go and was decidedly authentic. Excellent portion sizes for the price. I will definitely be back to try next time. The only downside was that they got my order wrong, but they corrected it quickly. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro Mediterranean has undoubtedly become my family’s go-to restaurant for a delightful meal. Last night, we celebrated my sister’s birthday and everything went perfectly. The tapas options were impressive, and we tried a variety of dishes which were all beautifully presented. The paella is, of course, a must-have. It’s large enough to share but we ended up having leftovers! Our dessert selections were no less spectacular; I highly recommend the tres leches cake. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was less than ideal for us. Although the service started off well, it got a little slow as the night progressed. We ordered several tapas dishes, and while some were quite tasty, others were just average—lacking the authentic flavor I was hoping for. The ambiance was nice enough, but the noise level was a bit high. Overall, it was okay but probably would not rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro Mediterranean offers a delightful array of choices. We explored multiple tapas on a Saturday night, and the busyness added to the atmosphere. The food was not only visually appealing but flavorful as well. The only frustration was that the orders got a bit jumbled, but the staff was quick to rectify it. All things considered, we left satisfied. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard mixed reviews about this restaurant, but after my recent visit, I can say I was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance upon entering is warm and inviting, but it was the food that really stole the show. The seafood paella was by far the best part of the meal—such rich flavors that transported me straight to the Mediterranean. It was a generous portion and good for sharing, making it a fantastic value. Friendly service rounded off a great experience. I will definitely be coming back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Bistro Mediterranean was a charming escape from the usual chain restaurants. From the ambience to the authentic cuisine, every detail is laid out intentionally. I began my meal with their spicy garlic shrimp, and it was heavenly! The paella, too, was nothing short of spectacular, with generous portions of seafood and rich flavors. The service left a little to be desired, as our server seemed overwhelmed, but overall, worth visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)
