Great Happy Hour 6/28/2010

Mediterraneo is a great place; it lends a little classiness to the Hermosa Pier which is otherwise populated by dive bars and bars that tend to be frequented by barely legal drinkers. Pros: Best $3 house white wine Cons: Make a reservation on weekends more

Great Happy Hour 6/27/2010

Mediterraneo is a great place; it lends a little classiness to the Hermosa Pier which is otherwise populated by dive bars and bars that tend to be frequented by barely legal drinkers. This has been my and my friends' favorite place to eat for a few years. It's a great location to sit outside and enjoy the view and the great summer weather. The happy hour is awesome; $3 house wine (the white house wine is my favorite) and two for one tapas. Jordan and Joe are my two favorite servers and I always ask to be seated in their section because they are really attentive. Example: when happy hour is almost over the server will come by our group and ask if anyone wants to order another round to make sure that its still at the discounted price. They make sure to empty the wine carafe competely into your glass before taking it away. I would suggest making a reservation on Friday and Saturday nights as it is a popular location. Pros: Best $3 house white wine Cons: Make a reservation on weekends more

MY FAVE SPOT @ HB 10/3/2008

I love, love, LOVE this place! I probably eat here at least 5 times a month. The bartenders and waitresses are always helpful and happy! Not to mention the Happy Hours are fun and Mondays & Tuesdays are buy 1 tapa get 1 free! You can't beat that! The atmosphere is great, the decor is tres chic and the patio's full of people to watch!! Pros: Tapas and Reguler Menu, Great drinks and even better staff! Cons: Parking and wait from Friday through Sunday! So be prepared! more

Bad service, atmosphere, dessert, and drinks 8/25/2008

If it were not for the pictures at the top I would think I was not reviewing the same place. This was one of the worst dining experiences of my life. First the seating is so crammed together it is not as enjoyable to ""people watch"" as you may think and then they shove under heating lamps that make you feel like a rotiserie chicken. We asked them to turn the lamp down or move us (three times) and even though other tables became available they did not. We only ordered desserts but they were very dry and tasteless and the sauces/creams described with each was not what we recieves. The apple martini I had was also bad, it was basically pure alcohol. Which maybe for some it good but it burned the whole way down. Pros: Not a long wait for a table Cons: bad food, bad drinks, bad service more

Crowded & Loud 8/22/2007

Ok- to be fair, I don't even know if the 2 star rating is valid, because I didn't stay here long enough to eat. Pros: Its a *convenient* location... Cons: Crowded and loud location attracts tourists and wayward HB party scene. more

Crowded & Loud 8/21/2007

stevekerver Provided by Partner
Ok- to be fair, I don't even know if the 2 star rating is valid, because I didn't stay here long enough to eat. The reason I decided to come here was because I was meeting up with a first date who lives in Redondo. But, when I looked around and noticed the great deal of spill-over from the Hermosa Beach Pier party scene, along with a good number of tourists, I decided this wasn't the place to have my first date. Sure- if you're down at the HB Pier and want to go someplace a little more upscale than what surrounds it (Like Hennessy's, the Poopdeck, etc.), you may fare well, its just not the secluded out-of-the way tapas place to go for a first date... Pros: Its a *convenient* location... Cons: Crowded and loud location attracts tourists and wayward HB party scene. more
