The food was so-so as was the service. I would not recommend going here if you are in a time crunch! I understood that they were definitely short-staffed and our waiter was very kind when we did get to speak to them, but we went almost 30 minutes sitting there before someone came over to take our order. And then once we got the food it was unfortunately not very good. My boyfriend got the chicken & waffles and the chicken was good, but the waffles were super dry. The same goes for my omelette and the hashbrowns were seriously overcooked. We each got an entree and a smoothie and our total with tip was around $70 which felt like a lot for how poor both the service and food was. There are definitely other breakfast/brunch spots in the city where you can have a better experience for the same price.

We had breakfast at Meli's, it was very delicious. Service was so so. My friend asked 3x for extra maple syrup and she never got it. One of the waitresses said :"I would tell your server to get you more..." From that sentence I realized that stuff is not working as a team and they don't care about the guests. It's a shame because the place is very nice and the food is good! Everything was cooked perfectly and how we wanted.

Gluten-free options such as gluten-free pancakes and gluten-free French toast! Very good. Timely service, even during busy times.
? Excellent lunch / brunch restaurant with sidewalk or nicely appointed inside seating. Our food was exquisite and the service personnel were attentive. We will be back...

A very busy place, the vegetarian/vegan options were good. We got Maple Butter Pancakes, and Tofu scrambler, along with Coffee. The service was so bad, I had to literally had to wait for 10 mins before someone served me coffee, the gas stations would have better coffee than this place. The server kept dodging us, and whenever I asked her, she would say she will get it and she would not comeback for 5 mins. I know they were busy, but the other tables were being served much faster than ours, do not know whether she was just denying us due to our race, as 90% of the restaurant was white!!!!
Good food, nice atmosphere. But quite expensive.
