February 13, 2022 at 1:03 amWe only are able to come twice a year (Valentines & our anniversary) because we live an hour and 20 mins away but no matter how much we spend or how casual we are dressed (currently tshirt and blue jeans with ball caps) we are treated like a millionaires! Curly and the staff are pleasant and accommodating…not to mention all with a a smile in theirs eyes (COVID…masks). Highly recommend reservations, they usually don’t make same day reservations. This place is the triangle’s hidden gem. Always packed always great food, always good service…always.

From their salads (berry, berry spinach salad my absolutely favorite) , their dinner plates and tapas are delicious. The meat ball tapas remind me of my grandma’s meatballs. The staff is friendly and professional with amazing service. I am definitely delighted with this restaurant. I will give it 10 stars. Thank you for great food and awesome service

October 7, 2024 at 1:12 amI came to town to do an event and was staying at the courtyard Marriott and was starving. Found this place across the street. The staff was very nice specifically Blanca she was my weight staff person. She was fantastic very friendly. Very nice. The food was great and quick and hot and tasty and for the price I paid it was worth what I paid and just a very good experience.

July 16, 2025 at 6:57 pmLunch today with our lunch group… our food was delicious…potato soup/caesar salad lunch combo and sausage sandwich with french fries. What disappointed me was the 21% auto gratuity added plus the 3.49% fee to use our credit card. So while we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, we will probably not be returning here.

August 5, 2025 at 12:59 pmEnjoyed a nice birthday dinner at Melo. To start, the bread, I think foccacia, was really good. Their mozzarella sticks are huge and some of the best. Two people commented they didn’t need the marinara they were so good. We all shared in some capacity. The hubs got the NY Strip which had beautiful and tasty veggies along with the good steak. I got a few tapas versus an entre. The sautéed spinach with the bacon for salt and an interesting dried cranberries for sweet were great.. not soggy or overcooked. The Shrimp in lemon was amazing! I could have just drank the sauce. Great for bread dipping. And of course the baked cheese was a winner. Service started a little slow because we had 7 folks and I didn’t call ahead to warn them, but when we were finally settled the service was great.
