I enjoyed a great work lunch at Lemon & Olive in downtown Newberg with a few coworkers, and I'm so…read moreglad we decided to try it. This little spot is truly a hidden gem--tucked behind Valley Wine Merchants on College Street. It took us a minute to find, and for a second we thought we were in the wrong place, but once you step inside you're met with a quaint, cozy eatery serving up delicious Greek food. I ordered the Gyro Salad Bowl with chicken skewers, and I was very impressed. The portion was generous, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and everything was seasoned perfectly. You could tell it was made right there on the spot. Someone in my group ordered the baba ghanoush, and it looked amazing--I'll definitely be getting that next time I'm in town. The menu is on the smaller side, but what they do offer is clearly well thought-out and very well executed. Prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only downside is that it can be a little tricky to find, and the space is quite small--so it's not ideal for large groups. But for a tasty, fresh, well-prepared meal in a charming setting, Lemon & Olive is absolutely worth a visit. I'd definitely return and try more of their menu!

The tasting menu at Mediterranean Exploration company was one of my favorite dining experiences in…read morePortland I've ever had. The atmosphere was lively and I loved the industrial, modern decor. I went on a busy Friday night and was sat right at my reservation time. Our server was personable and friendly. They had a small mocktail selection with creative options. I went with the "worth a chai", which was spicy, sweet, and tangy. The tasting menu was $75 each for two people and we got a total of 9 dishes and left full and with leftovers. Not one dish wasn't delicious and I enjoyed how each dish had an unexpected flavor or textural element to keep things interesting. All the ingredients felt fresh and the dishes were bright in color and taste. Despite the larger quantity of food, the meal overall felt well- balanced, healthy, and not too heavy or decadent. I keep thinking about the hamachi crudo that came with this amazing smoky eggplant that complemented the vinaigrette on the fish perfectly. The radicchio salad was addictingly good with the fruity burst of sweetness from the cherries. The hummus is insanely rich and pairs well with the thick, fluffy pita. I could keep going on about each dish, but these were my absolute standouts. I especially appreciated the timing of the dishes. New dishes came out right as we were finishing the last. I will be coming back here to try more of the menu.

The family options are for catering only, or at least that is what I was told when I attempted to…read moreorder it. The restaurant was clean and appeared well maintained. The food, was fine. Nothing amazing but nothing bad. We ate in restaurant and were given to go boxes for the left overs. Drinks are not included and priced individually- bottle of Diet Coke $4. we are a family of 4 I tried to order the $95 family platter listed under the "Family" section of the menu that states feeds 4. A woman who was not the cashier told us it was available for catering only, even though the menu does not state that and rarely would a catering order be for 4 or less. Several reviews also mention customers ordering the family platter and one even mentioning they ordered it "to go", so the explanation was confusing.

SCW and I and I stopped into Omar's Mediterranean Grill while touring wine country. The food truck…read morehas lots of parking spaces around and the menu is posted outside. We were warmly greeted when we arrived. The menu is a little confusing for vegetarians, but we figured it out. Basically you can pick whatever is on the menu and choose what protein you want on it. We really wanted falafel however it's no longer available. They use a pea protein instead. Minus a star here as I think the pea protein while tasty, really changes the dishes we had. I had a shawarma wrap, SCW a gyro and we also got an order of hummus which came with pita. The food itself was good. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The tomatoes stood out for me as better than usual. The pea protein was tasty but added a different flavor profile than I was really looking for. When you want falafel it just doesn't taste the same. The hummus was good as was the pita bread. The service was great. I enjoyed the meal but I would not seek it out again simply because of the pea protein option. Of course it's great they offer a meat substitute but it wasn't something I would seek out for Mediterranean food.

The service was fast. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I had the cypress bowl with falafel - the falafel was crisp, and the homemade pita and hummus were particularly yummy and flavorful.

Their dessert options all sounded amazing - the the triple chocolate mousse was rich and perfect to split as a little sweet treat between four people. We each got a few bites.

We came as a group and got to try a little bit of everything, and every single dish was delicious. The food was flavorful, fresh, and truly tasted Moroccan. I've tried quite a few Moroccan restaurants here in Oregon, but it's not always easy to find that authentic Moroccan taste. Dar Salam is definitely one of the few where I felt like I was actually tasting Morocco. The service was wonderful, everyone was so welcoming and kind, and the food came out quickly even though we ordered a lot. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the decor really makes you feel like you're in Morocco. Overall, such a beautiful experience from the food to the service to the atmosphere. The quality was excellent, and the flavors were genuinely Moroccan. I'll definitely be coming back!

The young lady at the counter gave possibly the worst service I have experienced in a long time. She gave no acknowledgment, no recommendation, seemed bothered that we were there, no response when we said thank you multiple times. ZERO ENGAGEMENT! The place is also dirty and appears unkept. The outside seating area has trash and debris from the previous day...we were there right after open... needs to be swept. Doesn't appear like it has been pressure washed in a while either. Planters are smeared with dirt, concrete stained with food buildup and tables need a bath. The inside is just as bad, which starts at the front door. Front glass looks awful...smears, dirt, grime, and streaks galore. There are also signs peeling and tape residue left from signage that used to be present. Soda machine and bathrooms were also beneath expectations. You can't have a "thank you for supporting small business" sign if you aren't doing your part. I would love to support you in the future, BUT service and cleanliness must improve.

I thought I finally figured out a way where they couldn't screw up and ordered just pitas, 3 lbs of lamb gyro meat and two bowls of Tzatziki sauce and figured I would make them myself. How could they screw that up? Wouldn't you know, instead of Tzatziki sauce, I get some disgusting brown sauce that none of us can eat. I'm not kidding either. Almost $100 down the drain. I'll never order from them again. Pics are everything thrown away and of the sauce.
