The Scene
Like the other branches of this local mini-chain, this popular location has a small, cozy and sometimes cramped dining room. It's often crowded, but the wait for a table is short due to efficient service. On sunny days, grab one of the sidewalk tables and take advantage of the warm weather for a more authentic Mediterranean experience.
The Food
A skillful blend of Mediterranean cuisines, the menu here relies heavily on the flavors of Greece and North Africa. Favorites include savory levant sandwiches, traditional Greek phyllo pie and chicken with cinnamon, almonds and chickpeas wrapped in phyllo. A bargain is the Mediterranean meze, an assortment of 10 house specialties including lamb kebabs, dolmas, lemon-scented hummus and tabbouleh. The honey-drenched baklava or datil amandra (warm phyllo filled with dates and nuts) are can't-miss desserts.

Well, not enough variety for me. I am allergic to bell peppers, and it turns out EVERYTHING had bell peppers with the exception of lamb, which I don't eat, and a variety of cold salads. I had cold salads for dinner and wasn't impressed. My dining mates enjoyed their dishes, though.

I first visited La Med in Berkeley, CA about 4 years ago. I went with 2 girlfriends and ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer. That was plenty of food for the 3 of us. However, the food was so spectacular that we decided to order another entree and 2 desserts. Since then, I've visited the SF location on many occasions. It remains to be my first dining choice for all occasions and have impressed many dates with my fine taste in food. My favorite entree is the Chicken Pomegranate. I have never been a fan of chicken but this dish never fails to amaze me.

La Med continues to be my favorite restaurant in the Bay (the second being Tropix in Oakland). The food is exquisite, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is both friendly and attractive. It feels a bit tight when you first enter, especially when it's crowded, but it is a quaint tightness and not one of tension. The tiled tables and wall decor add a brilliant warmth to the room, while the inviting scent of espresso comforts the air. If I had to recommend anything, it would be the combination meals. It's such a shame to limit yourself to just one of their delectable treats. Come with a friend and try their Meza Platter for Two. Did I mention the staff is attractive? I think I did...
