Amazing spot. Everything was just great! From the cocktails to the appetizers, entrees and desserts. Had the octopus and stuffed calamari, and they were both amazing. For entrees we both had fish and omfg. It was super fresh and perfectly cooked

I had the scallops which were excellent! My husband had the lamb chops which he said were outstanding.

Although the Mains all sounded delicious, we compiled our meal entirely from the salads and appetizers. Everything was delicious, the pita puffy and soft and the mezze all flavorful. Only complaint is that the appetizers and salad all came out at once, meaning we had a bottle of wine and none of our order, and then after a bit of a wait, a giant plate of "Meli Chips" (friend zucchini and egglant) as well as dips, a greek salad, octopus, and pan-fried cheese to tackle. The chips probably should have arrived earlier than the rest. We didn't think to ask for coursing it out. Next time!

Very rude waitress and unprofessional management all around. Had a horrible experience with my family and are very disappointed. Do not recommend this place. Also oysters and clams not fresh.

My husband and I absolutely loved our meal at Meli. We went to Greece for our honeymoon and the meals we had at Meli tasted like we were back in Greece!

Ran into this place randomly and I don’t regret it at all. I think it’s one of my top Greek restaurants at the moment. The atmosphere and customer service is awesome. They treat you very well with respect. The place is extremely clean with nice music as well.

We recently had dinner here and, overall, the food was excellent. The flavors were thoughtfully balanced, the presentation was beautiful, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. Our server was also wonderful, friendly, attentive, and respectful throughout the evening. That said, I did have one disappointing interaction that took away from an otherwise great experience. When I mentioned that the side of French fries didn't taste quite right and asked for a replacement, one of the chefs actually came out of the kitchen to tell me he felt “insulted” by my request. It wasn't meant as an insult, I simply felt the fries didn't match what was described on the menu as fresh cut, as they looked and tasted more like frozen fries. Considering we spent about $280 for two people, I don't think it was unreasonable to politely send back a side that didn't seem up to the same standard as the rest of the meal. Overall, I'd still recommend the restaurant for its excellent food and service, but I hope management takes note that constructive feedback from guests shouldn't be taken personally since it's part of maintaining the high standards that make a place like this special.

This restaurant definitely deserves 5 stars. The staff was so pleasant from entry, to the bar, to the table.
The customer service was amazing from each and every staff member. Our waitress' name was Liz and she was so sweet and helpful. And she gave us great suggestions from the menu. We enjoyed every dish we ordered.
The restaurant is so beautiful and clean. It gives the feeling of being in Greece. I loved the decor and the ambiance overall.
I will definitely be visiting again.

Everything was just as good as it looked in the photos! The Farm Mule drink was delicious, and the fries were amazing. I’ll definitely be back.
