Reviews
"AMBIENCE: Haven't been to a Mel's in awhile so I thought this place was something different lol This location is decorated nicely like a retro diner with a darker/warmer kind of vibe. FOOD: Food came out pretty quick. Got spaghetti & it wasn't too bad, good portion size & the meatballs tasted really good. My mom got the fish & chips & that was a no for her. It was obvious that they were frozen & not fresh. The vanilla milkshake was my favorite part! OVERALL: Chose this place because it's attached to the hotel I stayed at & it had a door directly leading to the hotel lobby. An okay option if you're in the area & don't feel heading out at night or ordering food off an app."
"I came into have a drink since I stayed at the Marriott connected to it. Well right as I walked in and sat at the bar, I was told they weren’t going to serve any food since a group of 40 walked in. There were total of 3 servers that night and like 6 of us on the bar top. Well I told them I was only there for a drink, well 40 minutes went by and nobody stopped to get my drink order, I was sitting there since I had a buddy down there drinking water and waiting to put his drink order in. So we just talked, about 1 hour 15 minutes go by someone asked me what I wanted. I said I’ll get a water to start off with and then an espresso martini. Well, 30 minutes go by the server comes back and said they weren’t allowed to make an espresso martini, didn’t even give me a reason. So I started to take pictures of the bar area to show they had the ingredients to make it, then 10 minutes later another guy walks up and says they can make it now. Well he made it so clear it tasted horrible. I told him it’s fine but he insisted he make it right, well let’s just say the remade version was way worse than the first. Worst espresso martini ever and I never got my water. This place is a joke and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there."
"I had seen this diner for last 1 1/2 years every morning on my way to work. Today I decided to stop in for breakfast. I can’t say enough nice things about this restaurant. The breakfast burrito was the best I have had recently. Staff was very friendly and polite. I can’t wait to go back."
"Honestly a pretty good upscale diner. It has a really great and knowledgeable staff. A bit pricey honestly. The grilled cheese was $15, it was definitely goood. But a bit pricey, but at least it came with fries or tomato soup. I’ll comeback, but this isn’t exactly a cheap meal."
"The food was ok. Except eggs, toast, potatoes, bacon, coffee was $27!! However, the place smells awful. It says that it was established in 1947. It seems like it was renovated last around that time. Like an old carpet in a moldy hotel. Except there is no carpet. So, I am baffled what can it be."
