We went to dinner on Saturday evening. Meli did not disappoint on any level turning an ordinary evening out into something extra special. The food from the tuna tartare and sesame feta appetizers to the main course of scallops (so delicious) and Black Sea bass were wonderful as was the not to be missed dessert of ekmek which was light and just the right amount of sweetness. The servers were friendly and attentive even the parking attendant was super courteous and polite. We enjoyed every course and will definitely be coming back again and again as Meli is a place that is not to be missed.

A beautiful experience from start to finish ✨✨The atmosphere here is truly special, elegant, intimate, and effortlessly inviting. The energy is calm and elevated, the kind of place that makes you slow down and savor every moment. The food was exceptional, beautifully plated, deeply flavorful, and clearly made with intention. Service was smooth and gracious, adding to the overall experience. We have definitely found our new favorite spot. ✨✨

1st time at Meli Estiatorio. There were six of us for dinner. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday. The main courses were very good. The homemade pita and the zucchini/eggplant chips appetizer were outstanding. portions decent. But the plate presentations were amateurish. Piles of rough looking parsley and watercress. And the service was not as quick, polished or attentive as it should be if they are aiming to be a fine dining restaurant.

High quality restaurant with really good Greek food. All the food was fresh and service was good. It's definitely on the expensive side but it is okay for a splurge.
