Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Ellicott City

We arrived at 8 pm for reservation. Hostess informed us several tables were still clearing out and that she would text us when the table was ready. We hung out at the bar area, which was very nice. Excellent old-fashioned cocktail with just the right combination of bitters and sweetness. At 830, our table still wasn't ready. The manager apologized and offered us a large round table in the bar area. While it was noisier in this area, the ambiance was quite nice. They had a guitarist playing acoustic as well. The food was excellent, including oysters, sea bass, and braised short rib. Ojai vineyards 2016 pinot noir was terrific and decanter provided. The manager also provided us with a complimentary glass of wine for our troubles. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for small groups, special occasions, or even to grab a quick bite at the bar while watching a sporting event.

We had a party of 6 to celebrate 2 birthdays. The server (Clyde?) was very knowledgeable and made great suggestions. Every dish was delicious and interesting. The hummus and the burrata appetizers were excellent. The lamb shank and lobster main dishes were absolutely fantastic. The table was very intimate and beautiful. We enjoyed every aspect of our evening.

Reservation for 6 at 6:30, seated on time and excellent service started. Great job by our server with drinks and food delivered on time by friendly staff. If you have not experienced CECES I suggest you do so as you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing time celebrating friend's birthday. Fantastic food, outstanding service. Can't wait to be back!

We went to this restaurant in Old Ellicott on a tour. The 3 of us are at this location to celebrate one of my friends birthdays. The food was wonderful and the owner who served us was incredible.
