   Food was good. Traditional Greek. However as others he tuned it’s pricey for what you get. Portions are small. Need to add sides for many dishes. Shrimp saganaki was good but small. Will return but need to order better. Or go to Astoria.

   We brought guests for their first time to enjoy a nice Saturday evening dinner and we were so disappointed… the music was extremely loud and more like a late night club than a fine restaurant. We could not have a conversation… even the waitress had a hard time hearing us.

   The place looks gorgeous. The pita and spreads were very good. Lots of good appetizer options. Drinks were good.

   My family and I went for lunch about a month ago. This time we went for dinner and it was amazing. As we were leaving we noticed a dj setting up. They have music on Thursdays and Saturdays, starts at 7pm.

   Excellent!!! As soon as we walked in the door, everyone was so welcoming and friendly! The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. The decor is stunning. You feel like you've been transported to Greece. We were there for lunch and the menu was perfect. We started with the Meli Chips and they were delicious. Two of us had the Pork Suvlaki and it was cooked to perfection, served on top of a pita with very fresh lettuce, tomatoes and red onions. The French Fries were just as good. Paired with one of their Greek Wines. The pairing worked really well with the food. A definite GEM of a restaurant!!!

   Wanted to try Melì as it’s a new restaurant in the neighborhood. The ambiance was nice. The pink flowers on the ceilings, raffia chandeliers and white painted brick walls are pretty. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was average. The lobster pasta was bland but had nice chunks of lobster. The salmon entree was nice, with apricots in the farro. The Bombolino donuts with Nutella were the best part!! The bar area looked nice as well. And the DJ was playing cool music. Want to try again during Brunch!

    So nice to have a greek spot in Middle Village. It's a super cute spot, great ambiance and service was great! It's a fun time and a great spot to go for some drinks. The drinks were perfect, went down smooth carefully curated. The food is where it missed for me. The appetizer (grilled calamari) and bread and olive oil were good, but the Fagri and lamb chops were just not worth it. The lamb chops are 60 dollars for 3 tiny lamb chops and a side of fries. They were over cooked and dry. The fish was gummy and slightly fishy tasting. So upsetting:(. But would try again just with different food.
