Hit and miss... 10/12/2002

The taverna-like decor is relaxing, if a bit dated, and the waiters can sometimes be grumpy old men. If dining alone, take a seat at the small bar, and stare at the very cute bartender while sipping your ouzo. By all means, try as many appetizers as you can handle, because they're all delicious. Most of the entrees are inconsistent, except for any charcoal-grilled whole fish. The complimentary dessert wine is a nice touch. more

Good appetizers-then downhill from there 9/26/2002

I've eaten at Meltemi once. The crowd is very mixed. The waiters are all old men. The restaurant has a cafeteria-esque feel. The waiters/helpers seem to share the tables, so the service was good. The combination appetizer was delicious, and the fresh, hot pitas were to die for. The garden salad was also fresh and crisp. We had high expectations for the main dish, but were a little disappointed. I ordered salmon and it arrived half raw, so they had to recook it. My boyfriend's fish was soaked with some tomato sauce, and it was too soggy. For dessert, we ordered Baklava, and got a dry, bitter slice because the bottom of it was burned. Then we got the bill, a total of $100 for the two of us. Too expensive for the full meal, just go for the appetizer. Pros: Appetizers, Service Cons: Price, Some main dishes, No dessert selection more

Don't go with a large group 7/25/2002

Been there many times and absolutely love the food! After starting with the Saganaki, the shrimp stuffed with fresh crab meat has been my favorite thus far. The servers & host can get a bit ruffled if you request a certain table, or any other 'special' requests - we were denied when we requested a large table for 10 - but is great for smaller groups. more
