- PSPatriciaSvipPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •28 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFive of us had lunch at Melt on 12/4/23 to celebrate the upcoming holidays and our longstanding friendship. Food was delicious, everyone commented on how good their meals were. Service was outstanding. Tyler was our server and he was not only courteous and friendly but knowledgeable about the menu. He took excellent care of us and we were impressed with his service. Melt was the perfect choice and we will definitely return, not only as a group but with other friends.
