Editorial Review for Melito's – by Sunita Ray

The Scene
Sometimes all you want is good food at good prices with friendly and reliable service. You're not worried about "cutting edge." For nearly 20 years, that's exactly what this West End institution has served up.

The Food
Melito's dishes out everything from famous chili dogs to Italian- and Mediterranean-influenced entrees. The family atmosphere and homemade taste have made Melito's a tradition for dinner after a day of shopping at Regency Square or before catching a flick at the Ridge. The busy, cheerful eatery is reasonably priced, adding to its appeal. If you can squeeze in a dessert, they're as equally fresh and delicious as everything else.

User Reviews for Melito's

2 Star Rating: Below Average

As a 2 year regular at Melitos, I am continually amazed at the night managers fixation with the ladies. I have never seen this individual spend time with the regular patrons. Maybe the owner wants the restaurant run this way. Not sure. I would think, the night manager should be visting with the other paying guests to make sure everything is OK. Not sure. You may up your own mind.

I did not have a chance to try the food as I felt compelled to leave within the first two minutes, after the manager rushed to the table seeing my unopened 100% non-alcoholic ginger beer (that is the best thing to knock out a stomach ache, by the way) and demanded that I take the bottle out of the restaurant (sounding as if I had just engaged in a criminal offense), to which I replied: 1. "it is non-alcoholic," and 2. "OK." Since I didn't jump up within a millisecond to run the bottle out the door, he replied, "NOW!" It was quite demeaning. I leaned to my dinner mate and asked if she was ready to leave. The food might have been good, but a manager on a power trip might have left it tasting rather sour.
