    Our experience last night was terrible. From the second we were seated, we never felt taken care of from the waitstaff. Our initial server came to us once and never checked back in with us even when he checked on the table RIGHT NEXT TO US. We had to constantly wait for water, bread, and chance to put in our order. Not once when we got our food did he check in on us to see how the food/experience was. We had to flag down other staff for service because our waiter was unattentive. For how expensive the food was, it would have been nice to have felt taken care of. Will never return and don’t recommend.

    Wonderful food. Loved the outdoor dining. Casual enough for a friends dinner but also nice enough for something more important. Food was good! Scallops and risotto were very tasty! Burrata was also very good! The seafood pasta was full of seafood and the light broth was flavorful.

    A wonderful evening in a beautifully decorated restaurant. My sister and I each started our meal with a yummy cocktail: a margarita for her and a Prosecco, St Germaine and pear concoction for me. My sister was delighted with the Fisherman’s Stew as her entree. I had the simply grilled halibut with wilted spinach and mushroom risotto, which was delicious. The service was friendly and appropriately attentive. Sadly, no room for dessert. Maybe next time!

    Scallops were very good but small so one or two additional might have made sense. But overall, we love Mele every time!

    We were in town on Spring Break and ended up going back to eat here a second time before leaving town! The owner even remembered us. Highly recommend-food and service was absolutely excellent.
