    Not the restaurant that it use to be - definitely gone down hill on the quality of the food and service.

    Granted, our dinner in July was out of the season for this restaurant, so it was not the regular chef who has prepared delicious meals for us in the past. But one of the plates came out for the birthday gal, which was filled with a plethora of salt and needed to be sent back. The waiter explained that the during the slow season, sometimes the temporary chefs don’t follow the instructions to a T. It was great service though and very, very quiet. we will be back for sure, but the only suggestion is that you might want to think about waiting for the busy season to get the normal chef !

    you get everything you pay for and it's a fine place to re-connect with a loved one over some smart appetizers and excellent mains. Down to the valet, this place was both considerate and swift. Also, great martinis!

    Fantastic experience, and our server, Peter, made our celebration even more special with the perfect level of hospitality. We are Palm Sorings locals and we've been going to Melvyn's for years. This night is why we keep going back.

    The staff was amazing from the minute you walked in the door. Our table wasn't ready so the host sent us to the bar and paid for our drink! Everything we had was delicious and cooked perfectly. Save room for the bananas foster.

    Shelly and staff were amazing. This was our first time at this restaurant and my first time eating a Tomahawk Steak. The steak was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The staff are pleasant and friendly. Shelly you can tell loves her job and wants to bring the best experience to the customer. Her smile and passion, ambience, staff, food, is a 5 star experience. Highly recommend.
