Melt is worth the wait...period. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is cool and the staff is very helpful considering how busy they are. I think some of the reviewers who have given Melt poor marks because of the long waits have been spoiled by the fact that they live in a city where the populations allows them to rarely wait for anything. If Melt were in a larger city, you wouldn't be able to get a table at all. Keep doing what you're doing Mr. Fish, because it's truly fantastic!
