Food was ok, they ran out of oysters so better come early if you don’t want to miss thingsService was ok, our servers were courteous and all.Atmosphere is what makes the place the best, it’s candle lite so it’s a nice vibe especially if you are in a date. Music is not too loud so you can have a conversation without yelling

This place is so vibes. I came hammered on my bday with my friend and we got a charcuterie board and some drinks. Kinda expensive but its the vibes at the end of the day

Very romantic atmosphere, and delicious cocktails. Service is more lax than attentive on a busy Friday night, but available when you need them. Keep your receipt for a free shot next door at their sister restaurant Paradise Grotto!

The food menu was not good. We had the bruschetta and the steak kabobs. The meat was not made right. It tasted burnt. Further the table and seats was not cleaned properly. The customers before us spilt a bottle of wine and we were sat in it.

Had dinner and drinks last night at Melrose.Cute spot for delish shareable dishes, nice vibe. Best shisito peppers I’ve had so far. Will definitely be coming
When did this place become a Hot Mess Express ? ?. Last night (6Feb2024) I showed up to my reservation at Melrose having requested a quiet corner table in my reservation notes. I stood there and watched the hostess Give away the table I requested to TWO Walk-in guests. LOL it gets worse . She then tried to sit me and my very TALL guest at a communal table between 5-6 people SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE. I’m sorry but as a hostess you have to be FIRM with how you’re seating guests. Walk in’s don’t have priority over guests with reservations. After moving to the bar, which had more room BUT was DIRTY, WET and looked like it hadn’t been wiped in hours . I ordered the strawberry margarita, which was average at best. I Then moved on to the bruschetta which was soggy and smelled quite funky ?… (would not recommend I only had 2 bites for fear of food poisoning ). I had my heart set on the spicy octopus which I remember being savoury, Smokey & delicious (I had it brunch last summer and couldn’t stop thinking about it . ) When I Bit into the octopus all I could taste was SALT . No seasonings , like I remember the last time I… JUST Salt and a bit of bitterness from the burnt char on it … To top this disappointing meal off, the music was extremely LOUD, to the point where I couldn’t hear anything my friend was saying. There was also a very drunk/insane “regular “ guest at the bar shouting out strange phrases and scaring all the customers . When did this place turn into a nightmare nightclub?!? All in all, I won’t be back .. and if Melrose was such a hot mess on a Tuesday night , what would the experience be like in the weekends?!

Super fan, cosy, amazing and beautiful place. It is better to book the table in advance since it is very crowded.

I used to love coming here for happy hour and tapas, but the quality of the food and effort of the chef has really gone downhill. The patatas uses to be made with small potatoes and crisped in house and plated well, they've switched it to hash potatoes similar to the frozen bagged ones you'd get at a breakfast joint. We ordered the hummus as well which was nothing special, along with the burrata dish that needed more salt and drowned in "artesian" grapes and some sort of jam. The only redeeming part of Melrose now is their half price bottles of wine.

A really beautiful, quaint restaurant that has great music and cocktails. We got patatas and espresso martinis. They’re vegan friendly, which was great for our vegan friends who came with! I absolutely love the vine detailing and open candles. Awesome location as well, would 100% come back!
