About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
The name Melina is rooted in Greek origin and derives from the Greek word for "honey". "Mel" can be derived from the name Melissa meaning "honey-bee". The restaurant is named after the daughter of Co-Founder Chef Dimitri Moshovitis. “Melina” will honor the strength of the matriarchy in the Greek family. It will lean vegetable-forward with modernized Greek classics from the sea and grilled meats. Greek cuisine is all about freshness and quality of ingredients and that will be on display in a fine casual setting.

    Good restaurant. Service was slower than usual, maybe understaffed last night. Our waitress was very nice, but we had to flag her several times as she was walking by. I don’t think it was her fault at all, but frustrating when you are going to a nice restaurant.
