    A beautiful experience from start to finish ✨✨The atmosphere here is truly special, elegant, intimate, and effortlessly inviting. The energy is calm and elevated, the kind of place that makes you slow down and savor every moment. The food was exceptional, beautifully plated, deeply flavorful, and clearly made with intention. Service was smooth and gracious, adding to the overall experience. We have definitely found our new favorite spot. ✨✨

    1st time at Meli Estiatorio. There were six of us for dinner. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday. The main courses were very good. The homemade pita and the zucchini/eggplant chips appetizer were outstanding. portions decent. But the plate presentations were amateurish. Piles of rough looking parsley and watercress. And the service was not as quick, polished or attentive as it should be if they are aiming to be a fine dining restaurant.

    High quality restaurant with really good Greek food. All the food was fresh and service was good. It's definitely on the expensive side but it is okay for a splurge.

    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.

    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.
