If you want the best in Middle Eastern Cuisine, La Mediterranee is the place to be. The portions are reasonable, the prices are right and this one of a kind (actually there are three...one is in Noe Valley and the other is in Berkeley) restaurant is a joy to behold.

This pair of "hallway-size" Upper Fillmore and the Castro eateries lures dolmas devotees with "reliable" Middle Eastern-Mediterranean meals at "prices that seem stuck in the last decade."

P.S. the "sample platters" "to go" are "always party pleasers."
