Mediterraneo...HH worth the drive to Hermosa Beach

I'm sharing the love by including the Happy Hour schedule right here, so YOU don't miss it!









When we pinned this place down for Happy Hour, our group of friends and I were elated and couldn't wait to spend very little money for some hours of drinking fine Argentinian wine and indulging in good eats. We got there at 7pm, SHARP - and managed to miss Happy Hour by 30 seconds. Wa Wa!

Ok, so we didn't enjoy the prices of Happy Hour but we managed to order everything on the Happy Hour menu and pay full price for it. I know! Blame LA traffic!!!

Staying true to Mediterranean appetizers & our appetites, we scarfed down 2 plates of Hummus & Pita bread. Keep it coming yo! We're hungry!









Fresh beets & spinach salad over warm goat cheese - YUM!









Slice of Potato Au Gratin Pie - I 3-star liked it.









Saffron Basil Cream Shrimp - Delectable, 5-stars baby! I could've have gotten another order if we didn't miss HH. Dammit. Anyway, this shrimp is a MUST have!









Two more Must-Have's:
-Tierra De Luna Syrah-Malbec - A Velvety bottle of Red for an unbeatable price of $23
-Mouth watering "Gambas Grilled Shrimp" marinated in a pesto chimichurri sauce












A summary shot of some other Tapas Caliente












Who doesn't love Proscuitto on Crostini's drizzled with warm goat cheese and fig honey?









Baked Brie, Fig honey to finish the wine off!









After that 2nd bottle of wine, you too, can pick up your tapas and pose with them! Hello Red Geisha and Hubby!









As you can see, our night at Mediterraneo ended in good spirits! Our skewers managed not to poke anyone's eye out and our stomachs kept our tapas safe. We can't wait to get to their Happy Hour next time!

Mediterraneo, 5-stars for ambience, 5-stars for food, 5-stars for wine, $$$ for full price menu
