Our second full night in Cooperstown and we tried Mel's on 22 and so happy that we did. Our waitress was so nice and very helpful with information about places in town. I loved the chandeliers in the dining area and the local photographs. The chicken soup was very good, but the beet salad was amazing. We added blackened chicken to the beet salad and the chicken was moist and tender. We have decided to go back tomorrow for lunch. When you find something good.....stick with it.

Five stars all around. Service was quick and courteous, atmosphere was delightful, and the food was amazing. We had the jerk chicken and the bolognese, both highly recommended.

I had the filet mignon last night and it wasn’t that great compared to other places I have been. It could have been seasoned better and tasted blah. The waitstaff did a great job. They make good drinks too. I guess I should’ve gotten their Hamburger like I got the last time I went. The burgers there are good. Now I know for next

Great spot, right in the heart of Cooperstown. My wife and I have been multiple times and have always a great meal with exceptional service. (Our first daughter was born around lunch on a Tuesday, I didn't eat much that morning nor afternoon, afterwards. I ordered some dinner for pick up that night; and even though it was just a simple chicken sandwich... it was the absolute best chicken sandwich I have had in my entire life. I can't wait to go back and have another)

Sub par food and snooty, unfriendly staff. Guess that's why the place was 1/2 empty.

This place should be named,”Salt, Salt, and Blah.” The food was below average, despite good reviews….my cod was blah, husbands burger was, well, a burger…cooked too rare, so he sent back. Fifteen minutes later, it Came back tasting and looking as if it was microwaved! The major seasoning here was, you guessed it…SALT! Apps were ok…just, ok…Don’t waste your money.

Disappointed in the entrees served. Allison our waitress gave fine service. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere. The table ordered two appetizers and four entrees. The appetizers were good (the Brussels sprout pork belly were the star of the night). Unfortunately, our main course was disappointing. The shrimp scampi was just okay, (frozen shrimp). The burger was probably the better meal from the four we got. The cod special was cold and not salted or seasoned. We ordered a prime rib special which could only come medium not medium rare due to the time (which is understandable due to the time 8pm). The steak came out cold and fully cooked. Tasted awful like old meat. We asked for it to be taken back and warmed up. Once we received the steak back it wasn’t any better and the rest of the table had finished their meals. The manager at this point has come in to check on us and apologized and took the steak off the table and bill. She stated that the pork chop (our second option if the prime special wasn’t available) was almost ready. We were reluctant to accept it due to the table being done eating and ready to leave but the manager brought it out anyways we said we didn’t want it but insisted we try it. The pork chop was also over cooked and dry (tough to even get a fork in it). We took a bite to try, it was hard to cut the glaze was good and mashed potato sides were also very good but that was it. Not wanting to cause more fuss my partner just asked for the bill. I privately told the manager the pork chop was tough and dry and we couldn’t eat it. Very dissatisfied with the fact that we still had to pay $27 for the pork chop that we couldn’t even eat or take home to reheat.
