Worst

Me and my husband recently went here for a late Friday night dinner. First we ordered the oysters - which came without cocktail sauce or lemon, actually they gave us an empty cup ...

DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE 9/23/2009

WE WERE THERE ON TUESDAY NIGHT FOR DINNER \r AND DRINKS. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. WE\r WERE ABIT CONFUSED ON HOW THE MENU IS SET UP (SMALL, MEDIUM, AND BIG DISHES).

THE MEAL THAT WAS PICKED OUT WAS BAD THEY EVEN WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR A MEAL THAT WAS SENT BACK BECAUSE IT WAS SO BAD BUT I WAS OPEN TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE AND WAS BILLED FOR TWO MEALS THE ONE I ATE AND THE ONE I SENT BACK. I'M GOING BACK NEXT WEEK (LOL) OK SO I'M NEVER GOING BACK. Pros: THE LOOK Cons: THE FOOD THE STAFF more

only go for a burger, avoid entrees 9/10/2009

pro: great friendly service, nice sidewalk seating, yummy bitesize appetizer from the chef con: very small portion of gazpacho for the price, my halibut was ok- overcooked and lost its delicacy, and he had lobster ravioli which was terrible- for 28$ there was barely even the taste of lobster let alone a visible piece of lobster meat- with too much salt and dough. i hear the burgers are fantastic and you get a deal eating at the bar-- but my advice would be stick to the burgers... and dont venture to the appealing (on paper) entrees. more

Friendly Servers and Excellent Food 6/27/2009

Melt is the best restaurant in North slope, I went in plenty of times in the last month and Alex is long gone. Employees come and go in this industry and with a bad attitude of course He would not last as the manager. The servers yesturday were very friendly. The food at melt is always fresh and delicious-especially the daily specials. Every dish that comes out of that kitchen is absolutely worth every dime. The owner is great. She works hard to make melt work. The St. Germain cocktail is smooth. There is nowhere else in the slope that can compete with melt. Its been my favorite and will continue to be my favorite today, tomorrow and on and on. Pros: Delicious Daily Specials more

Melt is a fantastic value 5/1/2009

All-caps ""disappointing mother"" below misses the point: one of the many nice things about Melt is that it really is more of an 'adult' place. This is a ""pro"" for many people! The food is excellent. On Tuesdays, they have a tasting menu that is an exceptional value. I definitely recommend it, although on some Tuesdays you will get a better meal than others. I guess the experimentation is how they come up with what works. Everything I've sampled on the regular menu is great. The decor is slick and mod, but the place still feels friendly and cozy. Service is friendly and competent. Pros: delicious and creative cuisine more

MELTs in your mouth 4/8/2009

The food at Melt is really good. I enjoyed the beef brisket which was probably the best I've ever had it. My friend and I enjoyed specialty drinks from the menu - one was a American Geisha which was Ty Ku, strawberry vodka and rose water. It was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is a pleasure to be in. Highly recommended. Pros: Food and drinks more

Coolest Fancy Food Joint 2/18/2009

My first experience at Melt was to try the $25 Tuesday tasting menu. I couldn't have been more pleased with the variety of selection and the refined use of spices and natural flavorings. Most particularly, the soup starter. Clearly, the chef understands that the use of salt is to bring out the flavor of the ingredients and not be a flavor itself. The soups are creamy and sensual. The plates began as appetizer size portions with the last at dinner plate proportion. The deserts are designed to satisfy at the end of the meal while not be too sweet. Again, hail to the chef for understanding the inherent sweetness in foods without relying soley on sugar.\r \r A favorite of many who sit to eat and chat at the bar is the Grilled Kobe Burger. Not only is it a huge chunk of meat replete with a host of condiments, it is served with a huge bowl of delicious crispy string style french fries. The bar drink specials are delightful, creative and far from the standard fair. Recently, I have sat for brunch at Melt and am in love with the Cajun Crab Benedict and Baked Eggs in an Eggplant, Artichoke Ragu.\r \r Considering the number of selections on the main menu and that all is cooked to order and to taste, it is a wonder that the wait staff are as good and as adorable as they are. \r more

Best Brunch for your buck! 6/12/2008

Ended up at Melt for brunch pretty randomly one afternoon and it's became an instant favorite. We had the crabcake benedict and the kobe beef burger, and a pineapple infused vodka drink that was incredible. The meal was excellent, the waitress very sweet and the prices very affordable and reasonable. Service was also rather quick. The only thing I wish is that it were a little bigger...otherwise EXCELLENT! Pros: Food, Price, Service Cons: Size more
