                                                    Our server Amanda was amazing. The offerings for NYE and price was good. Food was good and brought out quite quickly. Unfortunately, we felt rushed because we weren’t seated until over 20 minutes past our reservation time and had other evening plans. Everyone around us was being seated and one large group they just kept adding tables to their table of 8+ as they had more and more guests arrive seemingly unexpectedly.

                                                    Service was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our starters (burrata and tartare) and main courses (trout special and salmon). Atmosphere was lively yet sophisticated with families, birthday parties, work get togethers, and couples. We had a fantastic dining experience, and will be back.

                                                    Dinner for 6 at Melograno’s was awesome! The restaurant is comfortable and welcoming. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable (especially Marco). The food is amazing! We sampled salads, burrata, multiple pasta dishes and of course dessert. Everything was delicious. Thank you!
