    Service was extremely slow in the beginning 30 minutes before taking our drink order, but once they did that, service got better for the rest of the meal. Food was good.

    Always a great meal at MeM. I had the granchio pasta (crab meat and scallops) and my husband had a NY steak. Love it here.

    The soup of the day and the octopus were an excellent way to start our meal. But the clams and the Carbonara were a big disappointment. We won’t be going back.

    We had a big group for dinner, the food was delicious from the appetizers, main entrees and desserts. We were given the main menu, where some restaurants would have given us a paired down menu. The service was amazing to boot! Great dining experience
