| - An update to my experience at Melrose:
After a crummy night at the Libertine Public House (see my Yelp review here: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/libertine-public-house-calgary#hrid:GtjwpJdc2Lj_IsGMtLPWgw ), I just wanted to mention a really cool thing that Melrose did for me.
Long story short, we had bad service at the Libertine, with our server being inattentive, and/or forgetful. I had arrived around 8 p.m. hungry, and had placed an order for a BBQ Chicken flatbread. An hour later, the food never came, so my friends and I decided to leave for Melrose instead. I had asked for the bill as at that point, I just wanted to leave, when I noticed that the flatbread wasn't even on it (good thing too since they never gave it to me in the first place, or they could have just plan forgot to run it through. I'm not sure which, but either way, I left the establishment hungry).
I had tweeted a little bit about my misadventure in trying to procure sustenance from the Libertine (I didn't name them directly, although those who were paying attention to my Twitter feed would have noticed that I checked in on Yelp there), and I guess the folks at Melrose were paying attention because when I arrived at Melrose, they had a BBQ Chicken pizza waiting for me, complements of them. Being after 10 p.m. at this point, I was very, very grateful as I was so hungry.
I've had nothing but pleasant experiences at Melrose, and the staff try their hardest to ensure that their patrons are well taken care of. If you ever have a bad experience at Melrose, don't complain, instead, just let them know (politely, of course). They'll do their best to make things right, even if it's trying to correct a mistake of one of their competitors.
So yes, Melrose gets an enthusiastic 5 star from me and have earned my loyalty for a while to come now, thanks to this simple gesture they did after a bad night elsewhere.
