The name Melina is rooted in Greek origin and derives from the Greek word for "honey". "Mel" can be derived from the name Melissa meaning "honey-bee". The restaurant is named after the daughter of Co-Founder Chef Dimitri Moshovitis. “Melina” will honor the strength of the matriarchy in the Greek family. It will lean vegetable-forward with modernized Greek classics from the sea and grilled meats. Greek cuisine is all about freshness and quality of ingredients and that will be on display in a fine casual setting.

    Another wonderful experience at Melina. Service was top notch, food was excellent. It’s a well-run restaurant. Pricey? A bit, but what isn’t these days? The food is so good that it makes it worth a few extra bucks. No wonder it’s hard to get a reservation!

    The food was incredible - we ended up spending over three hours with friends and enjoyed the starters, entrees and desserts. Everything was delicious

    Food was lovely, well seasoned & well cooked. Dishes read nice and had a lovely array of flavor! Service was attentive, knowledgable and a bit expedient. If you want a slower/leisurely dinner make it known up front. Felt a bit rushed but always had the things we needed. Attentive service is hard to find these days and the server had all the answers we needed and knew the BTG list! Will definitely be back! Appreciate the talents.

    Great food from apps to dessert, must get the gelato! Server was very good and the restaurant was very pretty! Try the Greek mountain tea for a non alcoholic beverage, it was delicious!

    Great food with well thought out combinations. Had the Lamb Pita that was outstanding. Our server Lukas, was well versed to the menu and even asked for any allergies to help in selections. Great overall experience.
