Mile 20 at Mediterranean Breeze — Restaurant in Herndon

Let's start with the layout. Mediterranean Breeze spans two adjacent buildings. In between is a breezeway entrance, which may explain the restaurant's name. To your left is a non-descript pizzeria with a few tables plus the main kitchen, which you pass by to go upstairs or to use the restrooms.

In the back is covered outside seating that faces Lynn Street. Upstairs are two seating areas: a private room above the kitchen and the main dining room and bar to the right.

Finally, there's the pub on the ground floor, back right, below the main dining room.

There is no rhyme nor reason to this hodgepodge layout and you definitely feel like each space is it's own establishment.

We ate in the private dining room with a party of 16 guests.

Service was great!!! We got greeted quickly with a warm welcome, and our drinks and food came to the table without delay. Kudos to the servers.

The food? Standard fare from burgers to pizza. While some in our party raved about the lasagna and the chicken and mushroom crepe, my fries were meh (DNF) and the Greek burger dry even though cooked medium rare.

Beer (SA Summer Ale) was flat, but I chalked that up to the pour from the tap and the walk from the bar.

Been here twice in four years; the first time for drinks outside.

If I were to go again, I would try a more popular menu item. Based on the Greek burger and fries, I'm not...

I’ve never been more disappointed by a planned restaurant experience. Booked a table for 10 people on Tuesday for the following Friday. Showed up, no table ready, no clue what we were talking about. We were put sitting under a freezing air vent. Food took 50-60 minutes to appear (not fun with 4 small, hungry kids at the table) from the time we ordered it (it was pizza, souvlaki and fish fry, nothing too out of the ordinary). The chips were cold, the fish subpar and appeared twice cooked (we should’ve gone to Jimmy’s) and the souvlaki had one quarter of a tomato with it. They had to be reminded to bring out the order of garlic knots. At the end they automatically added a 20% gratuity to our bill. Only when I mentioned how long the food took did they acknowledge/apologize. We really expected so much more from our evening. I wish we’d taken our business elsewhere, it really was not worth the wait. I would not recommend this place, nor...

First off, when I was living in Herndon, I passed by this place a million times and never knew it was here cause it’s tucked away in the back of old town, but let me tell you this place is a hidden gem. Not much staff, but the bartender is super cool and the weekend deals are great as well as weekly specials. It’s small, but cozy with over 25 beers on tap and a really diverse food menu. You wouldn’t guess it but the Chili here is a “mom’s homemade beanless” style which is the absolute best I’ve ever had and didn’t even need sour cream! Would make the best topping for a chili dog! I just stopped in for a quick bite this time but I will be back to try more things on the menu because everything is VERY REASONABLY PRICED, which is huge with inflation these days. Def worth a visit if you find yourself in the area the foods better than jimmys old town tavern, Sullys pour house, and Aslin/Izzi pizza right...
