Had an incredible dinner at Mela Bistro. Every course stood out and the entire experience felt thoughtful and unforgettable. The staff and owner are genuinely warm, and the space has a character and beauty you don’t find often. I left feeling like I needed to be rolled to the car and already can’t wait to come back. If you’re anywhere nearby, this place belongs at the top of your list!

The shrimp taco was out of this world for appetizers. We also had the veggie platter and tuna kifo was so delicious. The pistachio cake for dessert was a cherry on the top. We Will definitely will come back.
