Located in the heart of Hillcrest, Med Grill San Diego opened its doors in June of 2007 with a new menu, new ownership and a commitment to quality.

Like taking a trip around the Mediterranean, the menu consists of tasty steak, seafood and pasta items with an Italian flair.

Backed by owner Seto Marselian’s 31 years of experience in the food industry, meat lovers and vegetarians alike will delight over the restaurant’s extensive menu which caters to diners with a wide variety of tastes.

The establishment’s wine list includes an extensive international list with more than 250 wines that can be enjoyed tableside or at the bar.

The quaint, spacious setting offers an indoor balcony, which lends itself to a secluded escape to accommodate larger parties. The outdoor patio puts customers right in the mix of all the action in Uptown. It is a great space to watch passersby on University Avenue, while enjoying a glass of wine and paying homage to the Mediterranean with pita bread and fresh, parsley-infused hummus and robust Greek salad.

Many customers’ favorite dishes include the mixed grill and lobster bisque, according to Marselian.

The colossal mixed grill platter found on the entrée menu is a meat lover’s dream, and features multiple servings of petite lamb chops, succulent pork tenderloin, lean and well-flavored Italian sausage and assorted grilled veggies.

The restaurant’s signature lobster bisque boasts a rich creamy sauce filled with generous portions of shrimp and lobster meat.

No matter if it’s portabella ravioli, rack of lamb, fried calamari, crab cakes, or mozzarella caprese that you crave, step into this fine dining establishment and be whisked away to the Mediterranean at Med Grill.
