Quelle belle découverte pour commencer notre voyage en force!

Nous étions un groupe de cinq & avons eu la chance de goûter à presque tous les plats du menu, certains même en double. Chaque assiette était exécutée avec justesse & délicatesse. Sur plus d'une dizaine de plats dégustés, nous n'avons trouvé absolument rien à redire : absolument TOUT était remarquable.

Les vins proposés étaient tout aussi réussis : un magnifique vin de macération pour débuter, suivi d'un Bourgogne classique parfaitement choisi.

Mais notre expérience n'aurait pas été la même sans notre serveur Jean-Sébastien. Par son enthousiasme contagieux, sa générosité & son véritable amour de la gastronomie, il a donné vie à cette soirée & l'a rendue mémorable.

Merci JS pour ce moment parfait! Nous avons ajouté ce restaurant à nos favoris 🤍

The food is excellent & the service good & enthusiastic. However for the price it didn't feel value was there: portions except for a 2 or 3 items on the menu are quite small & it felt very under staffed. At the price point service needed to be up a notch or a full team of staff.

I used to visit Mélisse regularly before the pandemic, but I hadn't been back in a few years until today. I was excited to return, & I'm happy to say the food did not disappoint. Everything was sublime, & I left already looking forward to my next visit. The service was warm & friendly, though a little on the slower side at times. Hopefully I'll get to enjoy the terrace next time. Overall, a great spot.

All style & little substance. Underwhelmed with the selection, food & service. Took my mom here for Mother's Day Brunch & after we looked at the menu & decided, were informed they were out of 2 menu items *including the breakfast sandwich* . LIKE, WHAT? That is like a coffee shop running out of milk. We were not offered any similar breakfast-y items, just a salade nicoise, which we declined. Also, portions are small & coffee was lukewarm.
