Diner Reviews

"Jut had my first meal at Melt - lunch with a group. Visiting from NYC, I really enjoyed the service and my meal. I was impressed by the quality of both as well as the architecture and interior design of the restaurant. Very nice - I recommend it!"

"The decor was beautiful, the lounge was comfy, the staff was accommodating and pleasant and every items on our table was delicious. The portion sizes were perfect. Only downfall is that the ambiance, although romantic, was a bit too dark when trying to read the menu. For those who wear glasses you'll need to use the flash light on your phone. But once we got past that it was awesome."

"We ate on the patio and it was very nice there. Service was quick friendly and efficient. There were many varieties of food to chose from and the Italian food was excellent and the quantity was very good as well. We were unable to eat it all so they packaged up very very nicely making it easy to bring home. We plan to return to try out some of their other delicacies very soon."

"I have been to Melt several times. This is not your typical red and white tablecloth Italian restaurant. The food including appetizers, pasta, fish is terrific. It may cost a few dollars more but it is worth it."

"I came to melt for the first time last week to celebrate my birthday. I had dinner first in a very romantic setting with my boyfriend. On a side note, I am gluten free, and the server and chefs accommodated to my dietary needs very well! They have gluten free pasta and are able to make other things GF too. They even brought out a gluten free birthday dessert with a candle in it! So sweet! We then met up with several of my friends and went to the level 3 rooftop bar. Both settings were beautiful! My friends and I had an amazing time, with the help of Kelly, that is. I hadn't made any reservations for a table or cabana.. However Kelly was able to accommodate(again) my requests profoundly! Drinks, food, staff, atmosphere, etc = five thumbs up"

"It was a quiet night but the ambiance was great. We had drinks and dinner at the rooftop bar. The drinks were delicious and the wait staff was attentive and very friendly. Stick with the classics on the food, and it will be a hit. I am definitely up for trying it again soon!"

"sat in the main dining room with the fireplace blazing and the giant tube lights lit just right, great ambiance. after this trip have to recommend the rigatoni with crumbled Italian sausage it was excellent. one demerit for gritty pistachio ice cream. all in all a very enjoyable evening."

"Food was fantastic! The menu is just the right size to execute quality food and presentation. Dessert menu might be a little too fancy for the average person but I have no doubts the selections are delicious. Will definitely be back next time I am in the area!"

"My wife and I have eaten at Melt many times over the years. It is always one of our contenders for special dinners out. This latest time was in line with what we always expect - terrific food, service and atmosphere."

"Occasionally, a faraway childhood friend and I meet at Melt for a 4-hour lunch. We have been there three times and have always been thrilled with the food, the drinks, the service, the ambience, and the friendly and accommodating welcome. We have even expanded our small group to include others and all have remarked about how much they enjoyed Melt. It is on the fringe of an outdoor shopping center. Parking is convenient. The hustle and bustle of the shoppers is nowhere near the restaurant's entrance. It's beautiful inside. Chic. Trendy. Love it there. I drive about 1.5 hours to get there as does my friend, but we will continue to lunch there."

"Well done as always. The beet Carpaccio salad is outstanding. We went for the sausage pizza this evening. Overall good dough and a nice amount of sausage. Yum! won't be long until we return"

"This is the first time my fiancé and I eat at Melt. The food was great -- except that the cheesecake dessert was too much a portion. Other than that, everything was exquisite. :)"

"We have been to Melt often and have Never had a bad experience. Their dishes are always prepared to perfection and a treat to the enjoy. The service is always knowledgeable and personable. The atmosphere is sophisticated and stylish yet intimate. A five star experience all around."

"Melt was wonderful!!! Great food and service. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Will be going back!"

"New to the area and first time dining here! Excellent menu selections and reasonable prices. Service was great, a little slow but we were in no rush! Calamari is very good. Crab cake, penne, capresse sandwich, and ravioli are all great choices. Save room for dessert! The limone ricotta and zuccoto cake are scrumptious!! Would definitely recommend and go back!"

"We had a great meal with a great wine selection . The whole team at melt come together and provide a great experience for their customers ."
Dined on 6/25/2014
" The overall service was lacking in many areas but our server was very good and attentive. Notably they didn't realize we were seated we sat there in a dining room that wasn't busy for at 10 minutes before our presence was acknowledged, the dim lighting that made it almost impossible to read the menu, food runners that don't understand the level of service the restaurant is trying to convey (my appetizer and salad were served at the same time and our ala carte side was served prior to the entrees with side plates and an inquiry of can I get you anything else as if that was to be our meal). Food was great but the Tuna Tartar was overdressed, all I could taste was the vinegar and the Rice Pudding was over cooked and underwhelming at best."

"drove out to center valley, pa to try out melt. very nice experience. crab cake app was awesome (but pricey). mushroom pizza perfect. service a little over the top. will definitely be back. main dining area was nicely designed."
Dined on 6/20/2014
"Good food and service. Appreciate wait staff's attention to needs, but a bit overboard in asking if "everything is OK" multiple times. House wine is good but a bit pricey. Large glasses could have easily accommodated a few more ounces."
Dined on 6/19/2014
"The $29 set menu is great value for Sun-Thursday dining. Great choice of cocktails too. Priced at 9-12 each was a bit pricey. The quality was good and on my visit a notable celebrity was there, Mario Andretti and his family. Service was ok as they had a mix up and took 30 mins to get our drink order in. Otherwise it was great experience."

"Melt has a pretty big hype around it. But when my boyfriend and I went there for our anniversary, I was pretty disappointed, especially since I'd say I'm a bit of a foodie. I didn't find anything special about the food at all. I would much rather go somewhere that is privately owned. For an Italian restaurant, I thought the olive oil was poor and the pasta unimpressive. It was very loud, I could hear all the other groups around me. My sangria was decent and our server and attendants were lovely but that was about it."

"We have always had great experiences at Melt. The food is excellent. The staff is always on top of everything."

"My friend and I celebrated our 17th birthday here and loved it. Our server was very kind and attentive. Even the boys who brought us our food was nice. Our table was beautiful (it's a beautiful place in general) and we had the whole area to ourselves since it was only 3:00. They even wrote happy birthday on our dessert plates and put candles in it. The prices were well fit for the service and ambience. It was a celebration to remember, thank you!!"
Dined on 6/13/2014
"Melt has come a long way. The room was always beautiful but now the food and services is top notch. Melt is as good, actually better, than any top restaurant in New York. The ambience is spectacular, perhaps the most beautiful restaurant I have ever seen. They are always full with diners and a very vibrant bar scene. When they first opened years ago the service was bad and the food was over-priced. George Paxos had turned things around and now everything is perfect, everytime I go there. And as a result, it is now my favorite spot. Melt is THE hot spot in the Lehigh Valley."

"Everything was great. We all enjoyed our food, etc very much. Thank you"

"while the food was good at melt, the service was clunky at best. the server had no appreciation for the flow of conversation and just interrupted whenever suited her. the main course made a run out and quick detour back to the kitchen when they noted we all still had our appetizer dishes. and this all happened a night when the restaurant was half empty. i can't imagine how bad it might have been if our server had more than two tables."
Dined on 6/10/2014
"Melt is the chosen restaurant I pick each time I get together with my friend from New Jersey. It is the perfect meeting spot. The service is excellent. The entire staff lets us enjoy our night with only minimum interruption. I would recommend this place to anyone."

"We decided on Melt for our wedding anniversary and we couldnt have been happier. The service was excellent, with a knowledgable staff to help us make a few decisions on our selections. The food was absolutely outstanding. And as a bonus, since it was our anniversary, we were given champagne and a free desert. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience!"
Dined on 6/8/2014
"Nice experience. Food was good .....but not amazing. One complaint....it's much too dark. I was unable to read the menu. I had to hold the table 'S candle up to the menu and it was still difficult. Service was very good."
Dined on 6/7/2014
"It was my first time at a restaurant I had heard so much about. We were ushered from the very noisy front to a more quiet table in the back. However, it was VERY dark and when we requested the lighting be turned up a little so we could see the menu, our wait person would not do it. The menus also were printed in very small print. The rest of the evening was great. All people in our party reported the food was very good, except for one, who said it was "OK." The wait staff was attentive and the drinks were very good. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a free glass of champagne (or maybe it was sparkling wine) and a large piece of cheese cake b/c it was my B-day. All in all, a very nice time. The lighting though, that's a problem. "

"I have always enjoyed melt , but usually go for drinks and appetizer. We had dinner, which was very good. I just feel it is very overpriced for what you get. Nice to go on occassion, but not a place I would go often due to the amount of food you get for the price. Service was great, atomsphere a bit too dark."
Dined on 6/6/2014
"My wife and I had dinner. Food was good--not sure if we would ever knock down the door to go back. It was very dark where we were seated. Two customers actually asked their waitress for a flashlight to ready the menu. The service was STELLAR! The staff was very observant and aware of our needs."
Dined on 6/6/2014
"We had the greatest time and our lunch went to 3 hours. We had the greatest waiter, Gary. He went with the flow and was very knowledgeable with the operations of the restaurant and their food, explaining everything. None of us wanted to leave and we all had to get back to work. We did have permission from our bosses to have an extended lunch. We left with such a great feeling of contentment. The food is fabulous and our celebration is still leaving us all with wanting to go back to Melt again for another celebration or quiet dinner. Thank you."
Dined on 6/4/2014
"Melt is our favorite restaurant in the Lehigh Valley and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is romantic with dim but not-too-dim lighting. The service never dips below very good, and the food is top notch. And all of that for very reasonable prices. We highly recommend Melt!"
