  • I was torn between giving Sweet Melissa's 3-stars and 4-stars. Based on meals alone, it would definitely be a three. Dessert almost makes me want to give them that extra star. But only almost. To begin, we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, based on another reviewer. I have never had this popular Southern dish before, so I can't compare it to another experience. I found the appetizer to be good, but not as good as I hoped. My boyfriend remarked that the only flavor he tastes was "fried." Perhaps the breading could have used a bit more seasoning. The apple relish on top was delicious, however; I would have loved a big bowl of that as my appetizer! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Parmesan. This is what really makes me want to give Sweet Melissa's three stars. I found the dish to be quite bland, honestly. I know that Chicken Parmesan is not a particularly crafty dish, but I have had it made in a crafty manner a few times. In my opinion, the ability to add a special pop to everyday foods is what separates the good chefs from the great chefs. Honestly, I felt like I could have replicated this dish exactly at home, and I am by no means an excellent chef. My boyfriend ordered the Sal's Flat Iron Dip. He said it was the best French-dip type sandwich he has ever had. Still, he also said he'd only give it four stars because it was nothing new or unusual...just better. Perhaps we just really look for that little extra in the foods we eat now. As for desserts, I had the Chocolate Cheesecake and my boyfriend had a Lemon Meringue. My cheesecake was absolutely decadent- the perfect food for a chocolate fix. Creamy and chocolatey without being too intense. My boyfriend had no words to describe his dessert other than "mmmm." We rate the desserts at a four and not a five, because as with the food, they weren't out of this world. Given the right skills, another dessert/pastry chef could likely easily replicate them. Still really good, though. Bottom line is that you will likely enjoy a meal at Sweet Melissa's, but chances are it won't be the best you've ever had. After discussing our experience on the way home, my boyfriend and I decided that we probably wouldn't do dinner at Sweet Melissa's again, but there is a possibility we would return for dessert and coffee.
