Worth the Drive

My girlfriend took me here for my birthday (I wasn't the only birthday boy there that night), and she couldn't have picked a better spot. Excellent service and the food was fresh and delicious. It was a little pricey, but well worth it. I look forward to going back in summer when they have market menu dinners on Wednesdays.

Always Splendid

Have eaten at La Medusa 5-6 times; it is without fail, wonderful. I love to take friends there. Fresh, local, creative, consistently delicious food. Pricey, but not for the quality of the food--four star! Atmosphere is relaxed, a little crowded, and the service is great. I want to save this place all for myself, but the poor/mediocre review below is absolutely undeserved---and my standards are high.

Poor but in love

I've lived in C City for 2 years, but never ate here because of price and fancy-pants reputation. Then, we decided it was time to try it. And wow, this is just something I love and miss at the same time. Everything is gorgeous and delicious. The simpler the dish, the better. I want to eat here all the time. However, I must walk by on my commute home and think about my yearning for chick peas and kale until I get my next paycheck. Fancy, but way worth it.

Wonderful

A couple of great meals - fun with friends or just your sweetheart. Something just a little different to every dish - nice not to see the same old standards, or same old new standards. Fabulous salads, pasta, meaty dishes. Order dessert early as they do run out. Fabulous staff and a great vibe.

Great Sicilian

I have been to Medusa several times and have thoroughly enjoyed it every time! The service is great, the food is awesome, and it has a relaxed atmosphere. The food is a bit pricy, but overall it is great.

Whatever

Nice place. Nice people. Nice Environment. Nothing special. The food was not particularly good.
