We love Melisse. I work very nearby and I only wish I could afford to go there everyday! It is always a good experience, and without fail, your tastebuds will be thrilled. Oddly, I have especially grown addicted to the excitement of wondering what intricate and unique amuse bouche will be presented. It is like an initiation into a lovely world of gastronomic delights! I always prefer the prix fixe menu, and the balance is always better than what I could pull from the menu on my own. Great wine list and friendly, knowledgeable sommelier.\r

Staff is great, always the utmost in class and style, and infinitely accessible. I also enjoy the fact the some staff members are young and kinda hip... maybe because I am relatively young and kinda hip... so it is nicer than being with a bunch of crusties, though they can be cute in their own way... \r

Highly recommended!
Pros: amazing everything, pleasant, comfy ambience, good service
Cons: too expensive (and fattening!) for everyday
