Mediterraneo

I liked their food generally but felt rushed on New Year's eve. I was tol by ownervwouldvstay oprned until 4am. He rushed us out at 1:30am. That is a big difference. He needed to mean what he said 9n that.

Nice spot for local seafood, however the food quality is not what it used to be. Went for dinner with family and wasn’t a huge fan of the food. Calamari was good for appetizers, garlic shrimp was great but that was all really the marinara Paella was ok not what I expected. Just lacking flavor! Potato chips were tasteless, veggies weren’t great either.

A Mediterranean Gem in Bayonne 🍷 Popped into Mediterraneo recently and was properly impressed. The bar setup is stunning - vintage vibes with this gorgeous old cash register and bottles for days. Had their lobster which was cooked spot on, sweet meat just sliding out of the shell. Their tiramisu was proper Italian style, rich layers of coffee soaked sponge and that silky mascarpone cream, topped with a perfect dusting of cocoa. Great spot for date night or fancy dinner with mates. Really surprised to find such quality in Bayonne, definitely worth checking out. Bit posh but prices won't make your eyes water.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The table service was attentive and the restaurant’s atmosphere was generally pleasant once we were in the back past the bar. Definitely not fine dining, but a scale up from regular table service you would find a corporate owned chain. I had the Paella Valencia and my wife had the Almond Chicken. The portions are quite large and the presentation of them is outstanding! My issue was the lack of overall flavor of the two dishes. Just very, very bland and both lacked the complexity of flavor you would expect based solely on the presentation and price point. If we are talking just flavor alone and basing my view on only the food I ate, I woukd say that everything on the menu is overpriced by at least $10 per dish based on taste. I would suggest they scale down their serving size and ref

Giant portions. Asked for med rare steak was served well done. Lobster, shrimp, and chicken were very good. No free refills on soda.
