Excellent dining experience-as always at Melvyn's.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous find in Old Palm SpringsOld school excellence. Our Caesar salads were prepared table-side as was the Steak Diane and Fettuccini. My escargot with puff pastry and served in a ramekin with walnuts was also outstanding.
Dinner was so good the first night, we came the next night for a late dinner at the bar of pork sliders with sweet-potato fries.
Luckily for us, Melvyn's is part of the Ingleside Inn, where we're staying of the week, so we'll probably return on Wed. to hear the local, retired professionals perform during open-mike night.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways old time elegance...menuAlways old time elegance...menu and service right out of the sixties. Lots of interesting people watching.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMI wanted a classic midcentury/timelI wanted a classic midcentury/timeless dining experience for a family gathering. Melvyn's was PERFECT! from the martinis to the Oysters Rockefeller to the professional, tuxedo'd waiters, the extensive wine list, the soup-or-salad and vegetable and potato served with the entrees, and of course the flambe'd desserts, it was an ideal place for our party. Sole piccata and pefectly cooked steak pleased my party, and we worked off a few calories on the dance floor, too! The next time I am there I will have one of the pot pies....3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMmore than a nostalgia trip...goodmore than a nostalgia trip...good food, nice atmosphere, and great service...
