I lost power at my house tonight, so I ordered takeout. I quickly realized I parked in the garage (no power), so I... couldn't leave my house to come get my food. I called and cancelled my order. A few minutes later, Meditrina called back and asked for my address because they would be sending someone to DELIVER MY FOOD!! This is AMAZING customer service! Thank you so much to everyone working tonight! I will continue to support this cafe as much as I can!!read more

they were very rude to my niece and my one year old nephew Monday November 12th. did not like the fact that the baby... was in a unbrella stroller. wanted my niece wait outside till her tablewas ready.., seriously people its 35 degrees out.. all I can saw the employee who told her to go outside should be fired.. and that broad is lucky that I was not there with my family or she would of wished that she never got up and went to work today..you must remember that a bad mouth will do you more harm then good.oh by the way so many people have just told us that you have mice running all over your kitchen and that your employes done wash there hands after during the rest room.read more

The food tasted great, but the portion of salmon was a bit small for $23 and the imitation cola was mildly flat even... though it came from a freshly opened bottle. It's cramped inside with too many tables, but that's probably because a lot of people wanted to eat there. I'd go back but I'll bring my own coke as they don't have regular soft drinks.read more

I invited friends from Chicago to join us. 30 minutes at the bar waiting to be seated, then after being seated... probably another 25-30 minutes to have our food order taken. I was a little embarrassed by the wait, but grateful that our guests loved the food. We should of had our food order taken more quickly since, we had already waited at the bar. I think the waitress forgot us. I still love Medatrina, just bad timing since we had guest.read more
