   Is it just me? When did cocktails become $20 for an average, at best, Old Fashioned? The filet was served medium when rare to medium rare was requested.

   Entire staff, especially Brandon and Alexander are extremely customer oriented! Service and food was fantastic and their Manhattan is worth the visit itself. We ordered Steak Diane, prepared tableside which was sumptuous and preparation was entertaining at the same time. Cod was moist and delicious, in short, perfectly done! And to top it all, their bananas foster, which is also prepared tableside, was also very, very good.

   Okay so this place is good! Steaks are small AF but good! Mine was ordered medium rare- rare and was very medium rare, not close to rare at all. Steak tartar was great. Martinis strong. Service immaculate. Dining room is fabulous and stunning and I loved the dark color. Music was great. Go here.

    Overall very good. The table was way too small for 4 people. They had a band that was good but it made it loud. Biggest disappointment was they were out of 3 menu items one being the duck which my wife really wanted and was the reason we booked the reservation.

    Fantastic dinner in a Classic Restaurant that the Rat Pack would dine in. Had the Steak Diane and Bananas Foster prepared tableside, but one of the true gems of the night was the Steak Tartar.

    The service was not good, our waiter was old and feeble and lacking in any sense of urgency. He seemed most proud of his very bad jokes. The bottomless champagne was actually Cava. Beautiful restaurant and ambeince.

    Although the history and ambience of Melvyn's restaurant is great, the liquor prices and ala carte meal service are too exorbitant! The food was good, but not worth the price!😒

    This was a bit of a let down. Drinks were not well made. Food was ok and service was as expected. I walked out of there not feeling like I just ate a $400 meal. Not bad enough to send anything back but definitely not good enough to recommend or return.

    The service was wonderful. And the food was tasty. My one complaint was that we ordered the lemon poppyseed waffles, but there wasn’t lemon or poppyseeds at all. Still tasty, it just wasn’t as described. Still enjoyed our meal though.

    Came to Melvyn’s late after a long day of travel. The staff were great and the hostesses seated us towards the back though we did enjoy being welcomed by the piano bar. Great food, attentive staff, lovely old fashioned and steaks cooked perfectly.

    5-star everything. The food is incredible. We ordered some “simple” spinach with olive oil and garlic. It was the most amazing. I wish it would taste like that when I make it at home. And def go for the crème brûlée for desert. Generous enough to share and super luscious!

    This was my first time back to Melvyn’s in several years. It was darker and noisier than I remember. Hard to understand server due to his strong accent and noise level. I asked about sides and how many he recommended for 5 people. He refused give any recommendation for quantity and the 3 sides we ordered were too small for the entire table. I ordered my stake medium well and it arrived rare. I sent it back and waited almost 15 minutes for it to come back. Of course by that time everyone else was finished. They only removed the charge after I spoke to manager. Overall, food was ok not great, service fair, room too dark to read menu and noise level was ridiculously loud. This is not the Melvyn’s I remember and will not be returning.

    We absolutely LOVED our dinner at Melvyn's. Although we had reservations, we opted to wait for a table outside, (they have a little courtyard for you to sit in if you have to wait...so thoughtful!), and we were so glad we did. It was just lovely, with twinkling lights in the trees overhead. Dinner was delicious, service was perfect, and as a result, there is no doubt that when we are back in the Palm Springs area, we will visit Melvyn's again! Thank you!

    The food was berry good it would of been more excellent with green vegetables like asparagus or broccoli I had the short ribs the meat was perfectly done My husband had the New York stake It was perfectly done it would of been better with some asparagus. The noice level was high but I know you can not make people talk in a lower voice Will come back at another special ovation

    Sadly my Melvyn’s Cobb salad was so bad that I could not eat it! The shrimp were cold, no flavor and way over cooked! The French toast looked and tasted like something from a cruise ship buffet. I will say that the servers are very nice.

    Our first time at historic Melvyns and were already thinking about our next visit. Excellent food, ambience and service. We went for brunch and the offerings were unusual and very tasty. Prices are reasonable for such a place. Diane was our terrific server and John maitre D was super welcoming. A must in PS. Coming back for drinks at their historic bar

    Always wonderful. A side note: Inquire if a wedding party etc will be sharing the dining room the night you plan on dining. Nothing worse than trying to celebrate your own occasion with having to hear “Hey Bro” yelled across the room to another table of “enthusiastic” patrons. The food is always superb!

    The food and service are wonderful they really need to step up their game with cocktails… Chintzy small martini glasses just don’t cut it. Charge five dollars more and poor a drink that is fair. Even our waiter suggested it’s an ongoing battle with the staff and the owners it just looks cheap. Remember the cocktail is the first thing you see and if it’s a cheap pour it colors the meal.

    Except for the escargot, all was delicious. The Duck Breast, Arctic Chard, and Chicken Pot Pie were delicious. The escargot was disappointingly tasteless. I made a special effort to "sop up" the garlic sauce and found it totally without flavor. The service, ambience and everything else about Melvyn's was a 10.

    Hostess was very friendly and attentive upon arrival Wanted to sample a wine before ordering it and was told it wasn’t possible thought that was weird, server said if you don’t like the wine after ordering it , you can simply send it back and ask for a different one once one has been open we have never been told that as usually you can try before you buy Service was ok not great Our starters were good , hard to mess up Caesar salad although we hardly had any dressing on it , oysters and muscles were good Our main I will say our gnocchi was over cooked to mush and then was tried to be saved by crisping it up by pan frying it was a bad move as some of the gnocchi was burnt We thought it was a joke at first Really confused as I have never had gnocchi cooked like that We didn’t want to complain we try not to be those people As everything else was good
