“ For the jaded palate of the gourmet who too often dines at fancy tables in expensive restaurants, finding an adorable gem like Village Mediterranean Rim makes the culinary world right again. For the neophyte who loves good food but doesn’t have the budget or the inclination to spend endless hours in high-end restaurants, discovering a place like this that’s loaded with charm, intimacy, and grace is hitting the jackpot. Thus connoisseurs and folksy dinners make up the happy crowds that keep the place humming. When I first went to this restaurant a long time ago, it was like walking into a dream. It was evident that someone had understood the meeting of cultures in the food and the surrounding.”
