  Food and service has declined over the past year. Used to be fast and delicious and now it's an hour for food and very average the last few times.

  Mediterraneo in Westlake Village is a stylish and romantic spot, perfect for a special date. We went the night before Valentine's Day to celebrate our anniversary, and although it was fairly busy, the atmosphere still felt elegant and enjoyable. The food overall was good - the salad was excellent, and while the French lentil soup they had that night wasn't our favorite, the Calamari was ok and the steak was delicious. We finished with the chocolate pudding , which was smooth, and absolutely delicious.

  I paid $400 for a dinner for two, while the price initially advertised on their website was $290, which was very disappointing. For $400, you could dine at a two-star Michelin restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, so my expectations were understandably high. Unfortunately, this restaurant does not justify that price point. The food was okay, but far from exceptional, and the desserts were overly sweet. On a positive note, the service was professional and correct. Overall, the experience was not worth $400.

  We got together with our good friends to dine at what used to be an excellent restaurant in Westlake Village. We were very disappointed with the food quality, but their sourdough bread is still the best! Besides the bread being the highlight, we were disappointed with everything else. The beet salad had absolutely no flavor, the lobster bisque was fishy and had absolutely no lobster in it (unlike Maestro's lobster bisque that is absolutely the best), and the short rib pappardelle was fair, at best. The ambiance is excellent, so the next time we go we will just order bread from the bar and enjoy happy hour.

  We visited the restaurant on Saturday evening for dinner. **Ambience:** The acoustics were disappointing — the space was noisy, which made conversation difficult. **Food:** - *Starters*: We ordered the beet salad and carpaccio. The carpaccio unexpectedly contained capers, which were not listed on the menu. The beet salad was fine, but nothing memorable. - *Main Courses*: Short rib pappardelle and mushroom risotto. Both dishes were good, but neither stood out as exceptional. - *Dessert*: We were surprised to find no classic Italian options such as tiramisu or affogato. We had the sundae, which was just average. **Service:** Initially, service was disappointing. As mentioned, the carpaccio contained capers we don’t enjoy, and the waiter, who seems to be very pleasant in general, did not check on us after serving the starters. We ended up “picking out the capers” ourselves. When the waiter finally returned, he confidently insisted the menu listed capers. We asked to see the menu, but after waiting several minutes without receiving it, we had to ask another server. However, once I expressed my dissatisfaction, the waiter relayed it to the manager. He apologized and offered a generous gesture: they removed the wine and carpaccio from the bill and treated us to dessert — without us requesting any compensation. **Overall Impression:** Their response was professional and exceeded my expectations, leaving a positive impression despite the rocky start. It’s clear they value their guests. The restaurant is pleasant, with good food and attentive management, but given the many dining options available, I’m not sure it ranks at the top of my list.
