A casual, affordable cafe with consistent food. I've been to both the Berkeley and San Francisco locations of La Mediterranee and always had a decent meal. The dolmas are particularly good . The mixed mezze appetizer is also a good choice for sharing. It's hard in a sea of truly great restaurants in both Berkeley and San Francisco to judge places on their own merits. This is enjoyable fare, but is not particularly innovative, rather it is solid and predictable traditional offerings of kebab, moussaka, pita and hummus type fare. The staff are not always particularly attentive and are not well educated when it comes to wine, but again, pleasant when they are serving and I was happy to take the leftovers home for lunch the next day.
