Medaterra - Washington, D.C.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The all day happy hour is perfect for those on a law student budget.

Had been excited to try an Egyptian restaurant after finding Medaterra on OpenTable. But upon walking in, we were told the restaurant had no drinking water available other than Pellegrino (but I don’t drink fizzy water). Ordered only appetizers, which were extremely small and not filling. Also wanted to try the pan seared filet mignon, as advertised on their website, but when we asked about it, we were told that they didn’t have that after all and that the website was not up-to-date. The servers were efficient and friendly, but unfortunately that’s not enough to convince us to go back for another date.

We had a large group dinner here while attending a conference in the Woodley Park area. The service was great and the prices were reasonable especially for dinner in DC. Would definitely recommend for a quick bite or group dinner!

I visited this restaurant for dinner on a Friday evening during a conference. The food was delicious (the lamb skewers were especially amazing) and the staff was attentive and considerate.

$25 entrees that were overloaded with overcooked starch. The lamb chops were caked in oil or fat (couldn't tell) and did not taste quite right. They were heaped high with rice and along with the meat tasted reheated. The chicken dish was loaded with greasy french fries. I was surprised that it had gotten such strong ratings (the reason I chose it). For sure not returning.
