                                              Beautiful setting/ambience. Robert, our server was outstanding. Food was delicious. Host/greeting upon entering was rude and unsettling. Unfortunate to have the first impression be so disheartening. Thank you, Robert and chef for the wonderful recovery.

                                              The service was lacking , May have been short on staff. My wedge salad was warm and tasteless, the mushroom soup was very good. My grandson had the ribeye and was very disappointed. Others had scallops and shrimp and enjoyed their dishes . I was really looking forward to the dining experience at Melange but it was a big disappointment. I won’t be going back.
