    I couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. The location feels like a 1940s European cafe. Food is fantastic and an incredible value. I was surprised by how affordable their wine list was. I saved the best for last: service. I sat next to a table which had a couple of ladies who had been patrons for years and knew many of the staff. That’s always a good sign. I hope to be a customer like that for Melograno.

    Had the Prix Fixe menu for Christmas Dinner - 3 courses for $50 US. Great food, attentive service and they were very accommodating in changing our reservation to a later time. Have been here for other celebratory occasions and it never disappoints. Fabulous background crooner music from the '50's (Sinatra, Martin, etc.)
