The butternut squash ravioli is delicious, and excellent choice for vegetarians. Portions were soo cute and tiny which is the only down side. more

DISAPPOINTED!!! 9/15/2007

My friends and I went shopping on Christmas eve in order to get the last gifts in. We were looking forward to relaxing over a nice dinner and cocktails. We walked over to MELT but to our surprise, the restaurant was closed!?! Settled for eating at Miriam's, the restaurant around the block. Very disappointed that I did not get the Asian Pear cocktail that I had been craving for. Who closes on Christmas eve? I understand Christmas day but then they are closed on the 26th as well? HUH?!? Pros: USUALLY A RELAXING DINING EXPERIENCE Cons: NOT OPEN ON AND AROUND HOLIDAYS?!? more

Attentive Staff and Delicious Food 7/29/2007

A few weeks ago, I was celebrating a ""major"" birthday. In order to lift my spirits, my friends took me to celebrate my birthday at Melt Restaurant. We walked in and although the restaurant was partially full, the restaurant was able to accomodate our large group. Despite my initial feelings about this occasion, I ended up having a wonderful time. Everyone was happy with the individualized service and the food that they ordered. The staff was very patient and attentive to our requests. At my friend's request, the staff brought out a large dish of ice cream with fresh raspberries, festively decorated with sparklers. The waitresses sang ""Happy Birthday"" and one of the managers even sent over a complimentary cocktail to celebrate the occasion. To top it off, he personally came over to wish me a happy birthday. What a nice gesture. We stayed pretty late drinking, laughing and partying, and at the end of the evening, I realized that this birthday was a turning point to enjoying new and exciting experiences in the the years to come. Thank you for making this day a memorable one.\r \r Pros: Individualized service, Attentive staff Cons: More upbeat music more

wonderful intimate place with great food and service 7/20/2007

tried it for the first time on a Friday. It was busy, the atmosphere is so low key (Danish modern) and the music so perfect for an intimate place. We were served right away, wonderful attentive, friendly wait staff. The goat appetiser was excellent - a meal in itself. Very tasty and flavorful. I had the shrimp and scallops which was done to perfection. The wine list is extensive and good. My friends had the sea bass - also heavenly. The kitchen is small and the chef very creative with sauce and flavors. We had the kiwi sorbet and the lime sorbet, refreshing and oh so tasty. I love this place. Great service, nice manager, excellent food, knowledgeable and friendly wait staff, relaxing dining atmosphere and music. I will be coming back for more! Pros: talented chef, service, atmosphere more

Great specials, great experience! 7/13/2007

We had a wonderful, laid-back experience at Melt on Friday. The decor is fun, the music was good and the $5 lychee martinis were out of this world. The small dining room was a bit hot, but when we mentioned it to the hostess they immediately had a very 'low-key' manager speak to us and he brought out a fan for the dining room so they wouldn't have to close the sliding doors to start the air conditioning. The calamari was so good, we didn't put any sauce on it. I had a lobster special that was surprisingly sweet and was shelled nicely so I didn't have to be embarrassed being in such close quarters with the next table. Overall, the timing of service was perfect and the ingredients were of highest quality for a modest price..highly recommended indeed! Pros: prompt service, excellent ingredients, great specials Cons: should try some more diverse, interesting menu items more

Good food and good price!! 7/1/2007

We walked by and saw this very chic decor with a great menu and prices. Went in and had a great meal! A spinach and arugula salad with orange vinaigrette and dried cranberries on feta cream. Then I had the Kobe beef burger, juicy and perfectly cooked, with fries, and my friend had a crusted salmon with shrimp on mashed potatoes w/ a light cream sauce....all very nicely presented and enough food! The wine list was also impressive with wines from all over the globe at a reasonable price. The service was good but a little slow. Will definitely recommend this place to all and make it back before I leave. Maybe even go check out the 5-course meal for $20 on Tuesday, plus get the wine paring for another $20. Pros: Food, drinks, nice service Cons: Serivice a little slow more
