UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT WITH AFFORDABLE PRICES At last, a new restaurant in the Falls Shopping Center! Let me introduce you to Cafe Med, a dining experience that will be enjoyed by all. Entering the restaurant I was first welcomed by a friendly hostess and then the owner himself. The ambiance was warm and yet festive with the magnificent center piece and a Mediterranean blue atmosphere. The aroma escaping the kitchen was tantalizing as we sat at our table. (There are booths to choose from also). The menu starts you off with 12 appetizers consisting of a large variety to choose from. Some examples are eggplant parmigiana, fried mozzarella, bruschetta and shrimp cocktail. I chose the chicken wings which were the best I have ever had! The entrees were equally impressive with 11 salads, 6 dinner sandwiches, 8 thin crust Italian pizzas, 17 pastas and 5 different fish items cooked many different ways. They also have veal and several meat and chicken dishes. You could eat at this restaurant everyday for a month and choose a different item each time. The prices are very reasonable and very affordable for large families. The happy hour is from 3:00-7:00 Monday thru Friday and the appetizers are half off! There is also a cozy back room for private parties and group meetings. The full menu is available for take out and large catering. Finally, a restaurant in the neighborhood where the prices and the choices (along with great tasting) make eating in or taking out an easy decision to make!
