overhyped & overpriced. living in boulder, i've been to the med multiple times--it seems to be the restaurant of choice for birthdays with its many large tables. i've had some good dishes, but the general inconsistency, ridiculous waits of 1-2 hours, costs vs. quality and acoustics and terrible 80's music keep this from being a restaurant of choice.
tapas at happyhourare the best bet. although they are affordable at first glance, you'll quickly rack up the cost if you're sharing or hungry. they have a good wine list and sangria. dinner is a disappointment other than the lamb shank, which is really delicious and juicy.
a better dinner bet is to walk across the street to brasserie ten ten.
