This really is the best restaurant I have eaten at in years, and I have eaten in quite a few. The food was of an exceptional quality, reasonably priced and the staff were so helpful and attentive. I will definitely eat here again and again.

We were a party of 5 for lunch - we all thought the various dishes we had were amazing, can’t remember having such an excellent meal in the Southend area for years! It was delicious and you could not fault the service.

I had heard mixed reviews about The Med and I decided I wanted to try it for myself. I was pleasantly surprised, the food was outstanding, portions perfect and our waiter couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommend.

Spent 3hrs enjoying Sunday lunchtime with great food, ambience,service + lovely \ appropriate singer. Not rushed and made to feel special. Varied aged clientele and approachable staff across the board. We're not easily impressed {experience over postcode 😂} but The Med deserves to succeed.

We had a great time food was lovely. But the only thing I would say is more discretion on your menu. To let you no what you are ordering

Very nice overall experience. The waitress was very accommodating and friendly. The decor throughout the restaurant was lovely. The roast was amazing aswell as were the other 2 courses. There was also a live singer that made it that extra bit special. The only thing I will say is that I got a rack of lamb rather than a lamb shank but it was equally as delicious and I would have chosen it anyway. Great value for money I will be returning Thank you

Lovely food, lovely decor, staff very friendly and helpful. Only gripe being my son has a nut allergy and wasn’t expecting pistachio ice cream to arrive, was told it was chocolate strawberry and vanilla, wasn’t asked about any allergies. Music was varied but loud for dinner atmosphere.

Excellent food - Starters of the void Meze were great came with hot pitta bread - delicious Main dishes of mixed shish was amazing Wgu burger was nice but had chilli sauce inside Which was a little to spicy - we mentioned to the manageress who took it onboard WebScript no room for dessert! We were offered a shot on the house which was a very kind gesture! All in all had a lovely evening - the manageress Olivia was very good she listened to our feedback and was a very pleasant young lady - with very good people’s skills -

An ok visit, pleasant staff but still some early teething problems as some basics were slow, but sadly food is overpriced for what is served. Signature beef ragu for £19 is just mince when should be better quality beef, mixed shish is just 6 pieces of meat and basic salad for £22, no rice or side, chips are £6 or £9, sadly many other options at better prices so think they may need to rethink either what’s on the plate or price points.
