Méli Wine & Mezze 1630 Columbia Road Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20009

"Love Meli. I was a skeptic when I saw "membership". Then I went. And went again. And again. $25 a year is a no-brainer. Food is fresh, flavorful and healthy. It's one of my neighborhood go-tos. Hard to have anything short of a great experience."

"Incredibly nice people with an amazing 7 day a week including weekend happy hour deal. Very thorough allergy menu and clear protocols, the manager is gluten-free and takes it very seriously. The cocktails are great and the staff are a delight! Great vegan and gluten-free options."

"I've now been to Méli twice: once as a guest for dinner, and once as a member hosting an event. First, the food and service are both excellent! I appreciated the intimacy of the venue, and the thoughtfulness of interactions with the staff. My friend and I immediately felt welcomed into dinner! (Note: take their advice to save the halloumi as a dessert option!). Further, when Joshua found out of my friend's recent engagement, he treated us to a celebratory toast! The staff were all very knowledgeable about the food and wine, and made great recommendations based on our questions. This great experience prompted me to become a member and host an onsite event. The team was supportive and accommodating: setting the room up to best meet our needs, being attentive to guests, and creating a great overall ambience. Danya even remembered individual guests' names and orders, and she followed up with many of them personally throughout the night. This is a unique space with a unique model and mission; our group had a great experience and many"

"What a lovely neighborhood gem! For being on such a busy street, this is a peaceful oasis! The happy hour drink prices were very impressive and the food was so tasty! Everything tasted so fresh, and the salad will be in my summer dreams forever!"

"Méli is an absolute must-visit if you're seeking an exceptional Mediterranean dining experience! As a resident at The Silva, I feel fortunate to have this delightful Greek-inspired restaurant at my doorstep. Méli always impresses, whether for a casual nibble accompanied by a delicious glass of wine, a full dinner, or a wine tasting class! The tasteful decor, soft Mediterranean melodies, and friendly staff create the perfect setting for a charming ambiance. The menu at Méli offers a delightful array of dishes, and one standout recommendation is their crispy potatoes served with the classic Tzatziki dip. Each bite is heavenly, with the creamy texture and subtle blend of garlic and lemon creating a flawless pairing! I cannot praise the service at Méli enough. The staff is attentive, friendly, and highly knowledgeable about the menu and wines. They graciously catered to my dietary preferences and provided excellent wine pairings that elevated the entire dining experience. Méli truly exceeds expectations on all fronts, making it a true gem nestled within Adams Morgan. I sincerely appreciate the entire team for introducing this delightful addition to our neighborhood. Moreover, I am a wholehearted supporter of Méli's mission and dedication to supporting the Reed Cooke Club, a private social club that tirelessly works towards uplifting community nonprofits. It's heartwarming to see a restaurant with a commitment to giving back to its community. Opa, Bravo!"
