Best

This place was special. food is excellent. we walked around trying to find the best burger spot in the slope. we passed this really nice lady walking her dog that told us to try ...

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 ...

Twas a good time 11/12/2005

I was taken to Melt by a friend for to celebrate my new job. I was impressed by the decor of the establishment. The salad I started with was flavorful. It did take a lil minute for the main course duck to arive. However once on my table the meat fell right off the bone. The cabbage was tasty and I'm not a fan of cabbage. We did wait a second for bread but it was refilled promptly. Important because it was good and I'm a fan of bread. The best part of the meal was the apple cobbler desert. Any shortcomings which were few and far in between were crossed out by this desert. And please I can't forget the music that played in tbe background was perfect for me. I'm a big house/dance music fan and it was mellow but good enough to keep my energy up. Pros: Decor, Food, Music more

I wanted it to work out... 10/29/2005

...but it didn't. I often am attracted to all things modern which how i found myself in MELT. Nestled away just off 5th Ave this modern rest/bar peeks curiosity but lets down in the food dept. We shared the watermelon and Goat cheese Appetizer which didn't really excite the taste buds but neither did the 35 min wait we had for our uncooked App. We and a few other tables were randomly selected not to be served bread. I ordered a Kobe Beef Burger (med) which came out about 35-45 min later on the door-step of burnt and still bleeding on the inside. I only had water to drink which was only refilled once between when i sat down and asked for it to be refilled towards the end of my meal. I sure hope it gets better because i do like the location and ambiance. Pros: decor Cons: service , food, price more

Great Design - Disappointing Food 10/21/2005

Seems all the other reviewers have reviewed only ONE restaurant... hm. Anyhow, I was eager to visit MELT considering its glass-fronted locale and uber-modern design (think brown and white - clean lines). However, $80 later (no booze!), the two of us had encountered mediocre cooking and some odd disappointments (raw bits on the pork tenderloin - they willingly heated it further). Maybe they'll get better with time, but the price relative to culinary ratio is... poor. Pros: Interior Design Cons: Mediocre Cooking more

Food so GOOD...the chef should have groupies! 10/6/2005

I've eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. During the tastings on Tuesdays I've even been enticed into trying things I don't usually eat and they've always been BRILLIANT. It's like a Manhattan spot in Bk...except it's affordable. For dates or group functions or just a drink on the way home from work...it is my new favorite restaurant! Pros: affordable, friendly staff, beautifully designed more

Brunch +++* 9/3/2005

I watched MELT open and wondered what its impact would be. Well, its bar is beginning to attract the high-heeled Forever 21 ladies and hair-gelled men-who-love-them crowd (alas) and yet I must admit-- the food is damn good. The brunch in particular has a great menu (dime sized pancakes with nutella) and everything we ordered was very tasty-- albeit the portions were just a tad small. The decor is excellently done- some kind of Scandanavian minimalism meets LA lounge = sexy. Yes, another one-word named restaurant has hit brooklyn but at least this one knows what it's doing. OH- and they were playing Nina Simone which is an A+. Pros: YUM., good music, good decor. Cons: trendy x 10 more

A diamond in the rough! 8/30/2005

My boyfriend lives up the block so we visit this place once a week. The atmosphere is very clean, mondern and low-key, the staff is very friendly, and best of all, the food is excellent! We make it a point to try something different each time we go, and so far we have absolutely zero complaints. Even the brunch and wine menu are special and well thought-out. Dishes I'd recommend are the the watermellon & goat cheese appetizer, the pistachio-encrusted cod, and the ""melt""ed chocolate cake. Good eating! Pros: Delicious food, Atmosphere, Service Cons: Not the cheapest, in the neighborhood more

MMMMMMM......Melt! 8/25/2005

Melt is a little restaurant that's big on taste. The second you slide through the all glass doors, into a rich, mocha & creme coloured interior....you suddenly feel transported. Melt definently affects a soulful,intimate mood. Did I mention the food? G** D**n it's tasty. I mean TASTY! You will be licking your plate. The sauces the chef cooks up are mind blowing. Tuesday nights they do a 5 course tasting for 20 bucks, which is great for a date. Overall, if you have a taste for style you should definently visit this cozy little spot. Pros: Delicious Food, Nice Atmosphere, Easy Access more

Great little spot 8/21/2005

Tried this new little place on a Friday night, took a chance. Pretty cool decor, very modern for a Brooklyn I would say. Beef appetizer came with several different dipping sauces, which was a nice surprise. Pork tenderloin was really quite good. I've had a hard time finding good food in the area, so it was a welcome find. more
