Mediterra Cafe — Restaurant in Sewickley

I visited Mediterra today with two others in my party. I have been to Mediterra several times and have never had a terrible experience like I did today with a blonde server with short bangs. When we arrived it was very packed and my friend went and grabbed a table while the others went and ordered. A server approached my friend sitting at the table and told her she couldn’t sit there but would permit it since she had friends in line. She then went up to my friend again and accused my friend of lying and that she had no friends in line. My other friend in line with me went over to our friend to show this server that she did in fact have friends with her. After ordering, I went back over to my friends and this woman removed them from the table, even though we had a number for food and nobody was even waiting for a table. She then saw us standing there without a table and said “now you can sit back down.” At this point we didn’t even want to dine here, but we had already paid for our food. The food was good, but my one friend had burnt oat waffles. Overall, this was a terrible experience and insulting that she called my friend a liar. I am disappointed to have experienced this at one of my favorite restaurants...

Hi- I’m not one to normally write a review but I feel like it’s needed in this situation. I ordered the Gluten Free Oat Flour Pancakes which I got served cold and with a large piece of hair intertwined in it. When I brought it back up, I wasn’t apologized to and only offered to make another. I wasn’t a fan of it to begin with but having the hair added to it ruined my appetite for it regardless. Just was disappointed with how it was handled. Also, I went with 3 other friends and we were sitting at a large table with another group of 4 and we were specifically asked to go to the bar top table or somewhere else in the cafe. We said yes of course but then the “large” group came in and it was the same amount of people as us, 4. We were confused why we had to move when it was the same amount of people as us. My friend was still finishing her coffee from the cafe. I truly don’t like writing bad reviews but I was an excited customer and heard great things about Mediterra but wouldn’t drive 35 mins again to go there ever. I hope your...

I'm a big fan of Mediterra in general. Their baked goods are excellent, and their bread is absolutely fantastic (get it sliced for you!). I've also really enjoyed a good number of fresh food items I've gotten; the 7-grain porridge is wonderful for breakfast, and their other breakfast platters are pretty solid. I also enjoy their drinks. Service is great, restaurant has good atmosphere, and the location's also good. I can't recommend them highly enough.

UPDATE: I've had pretty good food all around from them, including their sandwiches. They used to have issues with sogginess due to the sandwiches being pre-made with sauce on the bottom. I've been eating only sandwiches from them recently and haven't seen the issue again. Didn't make a stink about it, but left a bit of review feedback they seemed to pick up. I really enjoy the ham sandwich and pimento cheese toastie, the latter's worthy of Mike...
