Food is OK, but service is soso. Came for dinner, and they ended up not having enough food. The drinks on the other hand are great! But its also pricey, and when comparing the price for what you get there are better options.

I am laughing as I read Michael's review below... he was there the same night as my boyfriend and I. We also had a wonderful date night at Melissa's! We're new to the area and have been meaning to get out and try some of the local flavor. I had the roasted duck which was amazing, and my boyfriend had the shrimp and lobster pasta dish. I could smell the basil coming from his food, everything was so fresh! A must is the pretzel sundae--a pretzel crumble and peanut butter sauce! Delicious! We can't wait to go back.

Great place for good food

It's been said that a memorable meal needs three ingredients: great food, terrific ambiance, and wonderful people to enjoy it with. My eldest daughter took my wife and middle daughter out for my birthday last night--and it qualified hands-down as a "memorable meal." The appetizers rocked--especially the asparagus spears and prosciutto wrapped in a kind of phylo dough (who thinks up this stuff?). The crab cakes were as good as you'll find on Chesapeake Bay. For an entree, I ordered the braised short ribs (a favorite, I was told), and they nearly fell apart on the plate. It's hard to say which tasted better soaked in the dark gravy: the meat, the freshly mashed potatoes or the perfectly prepared spinach. And the Malbec topped it off. Great to find such a gem--linen tablecloths and napkins, soft lighting, and quiet music you're only vaguely aware of--so close to home. Wow.
