    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.

    Sat quickly, ordered Meli zucchini chips were good, grilled octopus cooked well but could have used a splash of lemon, salmon was cooked medium very good but could have done without the chopped nuts, shrimp dish was in red sauce tasty. dessert was good. No DJ last night but very nice atmosphere. Bar is nice as well.

    First time eating at this venue and we were very happy. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! The ambiance is beautiful and everything we ordered was very good. We went for lunch on a Saturday and it was delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Meli is absolutely great! My husband and I went Saturday evening and as usual Meli did not disappoint on any count. The Meli vegetable chips were absolutely addictive and the tuna tartar has become a favorite of ours. We both had fish and it was cooked perfectly. Flakey and tender it was a great meal. We finished off with coffee and Ekmek for dessert which was light and sweet without being overly so and the perfect end to our evening. The service is attentive and prompt and while music was playing it was not so loud as to make any conversation difficult. We love coming here and Meli is great from start to finish!
