Melvin’s used to be our go to restaurant for large gatherings. Unfortunately since Melvin passed away the service has gotten horrible. Our last two gatherings were disasters. After the first one we decided to give them another try because it had always been good. I figured it was just a bad night. The 2nd disaster we had a group of 20+. It took over an hour from the time the first plate was brought to the table to the time the last plate was delivered & almost no couples got their food at the same time. Steaks were ordered medium and medium rare and both were very over cooked. The birthday girl was the last to get her food and the order was wrong. Sorry Melvin’s but we’ve got to move on. We sure miss Mr Melvin, it was ALWAYS great when he was alive.

Food and service is always great! Only complaint I have is that, In the Summer, the seating area is warm since its next to the large windows. I prefer to sit there but when youre eating hot food and its the middle of July, you may want to wear your hair up so the back of your neck doesnt sweat, lol. This is still my favorite place to take clients for lunch!

We stumbled in after a long day of pirating for the Pirates and Boots festival. We were searching for some shrimp and grits and luckily it was the special of the day. Amazing food and the service was superior, even tho we were a bit under dressed for the occasion. Hidden in a beautiful location on the water.

The Tuna cooked was not in anyway flavored. The meal was high and didn't fill you up. Not at all what I would have expected from what I heard of this place. The food was served with plain rice and plain bread, no butter no flavor no seasoning. Very disappointed in my experience visiting this place. The staff was great and the setting was really beautiful, but the food not so much. Not sure if I will return.

Was there for a Christmas party for 20 people. Was there at 6:00 pm didn't leave until 9:40 pm The food was slow, I had 12 oz. Steak ask for med rare it came to me well done. I will not sent food back due to what they could do (don't think they would have) found out later the waitress had our party and 5 other tables. Our cheese cake was frozen hard like a rock. I don't know if I'm going back for a while. 12/16/23 Carlos Alario
It's a wonderful place. Wish we would've taken pictures of the food but we devoured it before we thought about it. Gorgeous place. It's off the beaten path. So glad we found

My son had his wedding reception at Melvin's on the back patio and the dock. Although it was very hot because they chose an outdoor venue in july, it was a great setup. If you are considering renting the venue as an event, please check it out and be prepared to bring fans, portable air conditions, or cooling towers in the summertime. The buffet style food line went smoothly and the food was outstanding.
