| - I had some friends come in from out of town and were EAGER to get to the hottest, most hip and HAP-A-NAN place! Given Melrose is always on wheels, I sure hoped we could get in.
And we did! The weather was beauty, so there were motorbikes lined up outside. As a Motorbike Meg myself, I was very pleased to see this, it just sets such a cool bad@ss tone, doesn't it?
We were seated right away in the restaurant by a lovely hostess. My friends had the mushroom and swiss burger and bacon and cheddar burger which said they were "the best burgers" they'd ever had. Maybe it's that Alberta beef :)
The service was great, prompt with some serious water refils , which I LURV! The only issue, the bathroom wasn't very maintained. A few clogged toilets (not awesome). This seems to be a theme, however, in Calgary restaurants. But why!
Otherwise, everytime I have gone to Melrose I have a pretty good meal and good service. It's a great location in its hot 17th avenue location across from the Starbucks. I recommend Melose Cafe and Bar. IF YOU CAN GET IN!
