Generally quite good. Atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. Service was quick and accurate.I had the meatball sandwich with sweet potato fries for lunch. Lots of favorable meatballs, cheese and the marinara sauce was interesting without being too hot as many are now. Sweet Potato fries were not overcooked or over salted.

Almost empty for lunch but I expect that they bring in a good dinner crowd with all of the beer selections. I did not try any.

Only two negatives. The iced tea was off. It had a heavy taste as if the water had too many minerals. And the prices are just a bit too high. There are meals as good in the same area for less.

But I will go back. The pleasant, relaxing almost empty atmosphere will sometimes be worth the extra money!

Could also be called MEHville. Average food (got the meatloaf sandwich, wings and fish) and everything was just average. Two hairs on my fries and slow service despite there only being four tables occupied during our visit.

Our daughter was hungry so went here not long before they closed to get food for her. She had a smoked duck sandwich which was very good. I've never seen this offered on a menu, great idea. The duck was shredded and moist. The sauce was slightly sweet, which went well with the duck. My husband and I shared fried artichoke hearts. They were great, nicely battered and fried. And came with an herby sauce. The portion was a good size.

Booked a reservation a month out for 35 people. Restaurant team did a terrific job planning our arrival and having space for us. Service was top notch. Affordable for a huge group and the environment was perfect for the birthday party. Everyone that attended the birthday party said the restaurant we picked out was perfect. Thanks Melville.

Noise level was high inside due to live music in a rather small place. Not necessarily a problem obviously for folks who come for live music.
But service… oh boy… one of the waiters got peeved so easily that he came across as possibly intoxicated.

Wait staff was excellent. Food for the most part was pretty good. Breakfast pizza was boring. Menu variety is amazing though, so many tempting items.

Legitimately one of the best customer service experiences I've had. Our server was fantastic! She was very helpful and nice, and you could tell she genuinely liked her job and it wasn't an act.

Food was also fantastic! A little greasy, but very good! I would definitely return!

We went there 45 minutes before closing. Staff was very helpful and didn't rush us. They were very helpful with my wife's Celiac, which means gluten will make her very sick. They had gluten free buns for burgers and the have a fryer that doesn't have anything gluten in it so she was able to have sweet potatoe fries. They have gluten free crust for pizza but it goes in the same wood fire oven so she couldn't eat that. However, Madison said they could probably put a GF pizza on a tray and only in the regular oven if someone wanted to.

Anyways, the burgers were good. I liked the chipotle aioli that came on the side. I asked for extra pickles and they understood the assignment 😁 I got the garlic parmesan tots which were pretty good and crunchy. Sweet potato fries were very good.

I don't think they have any GF desserts but they had 5 with plenty of gluten in them. I got the cheesecake with strawberries, it was pretty good. It has a little bit of lemon in the cheesecake and the crust was nice and thick.

Overall, it was a good experience,
