   The perfect place to grab a drink before dinner at Commission Row! We loved the ambiance, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming!

   Not the vibe I expect from speakeasy. Too thumping versus mellow.

   It was a cool space but food was just ok. Not worth a second visit with all the great places to choose from in the city.

   Excellent food and bar selection at Mel’s. Quiet corner tables or lively bar atmosphere available. Like a hidden gem downstairs!

   Neat little place, would love to come back and hear the live music. Service was slow at times, but that's to be expected when the server has 4 other tables including a 10 top.

   I’m not one to write reviews often. I worked for CRG as a waiter some years ago and was honestly disappointed in this experience. In this price point, you would expect a professional and smooth experience. The hostess was dressed strangely (oversized urban outfitters jacket?), the lights were flickering on and off the whole evening to where we ate in nearly in the dark, our waitress forgot 3 separate times on all 3 separate courses to bring silverware and the music would randomly and abruptly stop. For a $165 dinner, this was very disappointing. The ambience is great and the food was fine, but disappointing for CRG.

    Slow service. Tried to bring other food to our table. Confused servers delivering food. Verified order second time. Late for game when we had 5:30pm reservation. It was busy but it seemed the delay was from service confusion vs kitchen.
