Our servers at dinner were professional and courteous. The one thing we would have liked while the meat was cooking is that the server come by more to check the heat and turn it down earlier. As we could not turn it down. Other than that everything was great. The young lady serving at the Bar was also professional and courteous. When my wife asked questions about drinks she was very knowledgeable and she made some great drinks for us. Highly recommend MOA for your dinner and a cocktail at the bar.

The Salted Melon helped us celebrate my son’s 7th birthday. They set up balloons for us beforehand and the whole staff signed his card. He’s a regular there and thinks he’s a celebrity at the Melon. The staff always makes us feel so welcomed and did such a wonderful job of making his birthday memorable.
