| - What's not to say about the Melrose? Between Breakfast Clubs, birthday parties, and just random meetups for a drink or two (or many, many more), this seems to be the place to be at.
For starters, they are one of the most social media interactive restaurants in town. Between wishing Twitter folk a "Happy Birthday" via Tout, responding to complaints (including from other restaurants - see Reginald T.'s review), and interacting with their followers, they have one of the best social media presences in town.
Honestly, I have yet to have had an experience at this bar that has had me say that I'd never return. When the staff do something in error, they are apologetic and do what they can to correct it.
So with all this high praise, why only 4 stars? Here's why:
I am someone who often doesn't carry cash around. That's how I've been since the invention of the debit card and it's mainstream acceptance. These folks don't have debit machines, instead they have you go to an in-house ATM that dings you $1.99 for the privilege to get cash to pay your bill. So, on top of applicable bank fees, $2 vanishes (which may not sound like a lot, but when you've been there as often as I have and forgotten to get cash...well, let's just say by now I could probably have paid for a main or two and a couple drinks).
Unless of course you pay with a credit card (which I don't often have with me).
That said, I really do enjoy this place, and will be back.
