MELVYN'S

A classic place to go

Hands down, the worst service experience I've ever had in a restaurant. After being seated, it was at least 10 minutes before the waitress came to our table. We ordered promptly. I ordered a Caesar salad in addition to our entrees. It took 30 minutes for the Caesar salad to arrive at the table. Our waitress was preoccupied with another table. 45 minutes after I had finished my salad, there was no sign of our entrees or the waitress. I finally got her attention and she said that the restaurant was busy with another large party and that was causing our food delay. She never apologized. We waited another 15 minutes, we had been there almost 2 hours, and I asked the waitress the status of her food. She went back and checked on the food and she said it would be 2 minutes. 5 minutes later there was no sign of any food. I said we're leaving. I asked for our check for the salad and she said that she would comp us for the food. I said what food? We left without ever having our entrees served. I would avoid this restaurant at all cost. P.S., The Caesar salad was terrible.

Had a great time.

The quality of drinks and food is not what you would expect of a fine dining restaurant. Unfortunately the mojitos were awful however, we didn’t return them and instead ordered a different drink and it was just as bad (1 star out of five on drinks). Oysters were incredibly small as well as the portions of the entree. The Scampi did have amazing flavors as well as the brussels sprouts however, the over all experience of fine dining was sadly missing.

Awesome birthday experience.
