Bistro Mediterranean Tapas

Enjoy my first visit to Bistro Mediterran ... Excellent food ... Great service. Look forward to having dinner there again! No meals here!

Amazing service! Claudio was our server and he takes customer service to a completely new level! I never expected this kind of attention and great cuisine in this small town of Ostoas. Will be safe again, wonderful wine selection as well as ;

Wow. Absolutely delicious! Warm, welcoming staff; beautiful dining area. Read the reviews that follow; I agree with them all.

Tapas; only the thought of her brings a smile to my face. As a trained cook interested in authentic Spanish cuisine, one can imagine the level of my excitement and curiosity when I learned that there is a tapas bar about a mile away from where I live. My wife and I first visited a Friday night, we went to a later dinner. We went in and were pleasantly surprised at the Mediterranean atmosphere in the restaurant. There was a very tasteful dining room with elegant tables and dark wooden chairs, and there was a very welcoming, relaxed bar area. Originally we wanted to sit in the dining room, but because we had come strict for the tapas, we asked for the bar area. A look at the menu and I got in; this was authentic Spanish tapas: Chorizo Espanol, Piquillos Rellenos de Cordero, Queso de Cabra... I wanted everything. The bartender was our server and he insisted to offer the nights specials, but we decided to start with only four tapas to give them the opportunity to impress me. We ordered the Spanish piquillos paprika filled with lamb and a port of Shallot reduction, herb-crazed goat cheese over marinara sauce and roasted bread, steak tartar and medals of roasted pork fillet with tetilla cheese and Spanish piquilless pepper sauce. The coating was beautiful, the flavors were amazing and I was certainly impressed. So much that we ordered two more tapas before we even stay for dessert. The other thing that really impressed me was the level of personal attention you received from waiting staff. It was so much more than usual I can help you. At one point a gentleman had come to the table to ask our wine (without asking) and to see if we needed anything else; it turned out to be the owner. At the end of the night we spent almost three hours at the Bistro Mediterran Tapas Bar. We had three glasses of wine each and we shared six tapas, plus dessert. The bill was very affordable at less than $70. We had an amazing meal, we drank a fantastic wine and we loved it so much we went back the next night to dinner. If you're looking for something outside the box, something simple, something fresh and a bit of a treat, you won't see more than Bistro Mediterran Tapas Bar.

Great Servive, DELICIOUS FOOD!. Went to Bistro Mediterranean in East Haven for the first time and even though they were pretty busy for a Monday night let me tell you that the experience was PHENOMENAL, Claudio and his brother Leo took really good care of us making us feel right at home and despite our food took a while they never neglected us and when it finally arrived to our table let me tell you SO WORTH WAITING FOR, i had for appetizer the grilled shrimp over a chick pea puree wich was FANTASTIC, my wife had the stuffed baby eggplant with mushrooms and gorgonzola cheese wich was TO DIE FOR (she almost licked the plate lol). For main course i had the Duck breast served with sweet mashed potatoes red cabagge and a sweet and sour port wine reduction sauce wich was HEAVENLY, and my wife had the Grilled Scallops over a fried fontina cheese risotto cake with a champagne sauce that she LOOOVED. (in fact almost bit my hand off when i tried to taste some lol) For dessert we shared the Chocolate Lava cake wich is the best dessert i've had in my life and i've had lots of it but Claudio and Leo brought a puff pastry with vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate sauce on the house that was AMAZING! They were so sweet that even gave us a complimentary drink Moscatel that was the perfect way to end such a fantastic meal. We highly recommend Bistro Mediterranean, a true 5 STARS restaurant at really cheap prices.
