"I first stumbled upon Medi a couple of years back when my husband and I were looking for a pretheater dinner. It's become my favorite place in the theater district. The food, a combination of Mediterranean influences, is consistently excellent, and the staff, mostly from the Balkans is attentive and fun special kudos to Kush!. The noise level can get a bit high; on a recent visit with a friend who's a bit hard of hearing, I asked to be seated downstairs, and for most of the meal from to pm on a Saturday night the sound level was reasonable. The pretheater prix fixe I had first discovered is now but it's still a bargain; on the recent visit I started with a mixed dipping tray with baba ghanoush, hummus and red pepper spread, followed by duck on risotto with blueberry and mushroom, and panna cotta for dessert. Add the Slovenian white wine I always get at Medi, and Kush as our waiter, and it couldn't have been better. Also check out the back yard garden in warmer weather, and be aware you can get just appetizers and do just fine"
