| - What IS this place? I've walked by before and figured it was low key looking lounge. There are signs in the window boasting Calgary's best burger; and inside, the menu reveals your choice of oodles of toppings, as many as you want and no extra cost. It's not the burger I was here for. Instead, we needed a spot to grab a drink in between CUFF films on Saturday. Melange was nearby and looked to have some room, so we decided to try it.
Melange is certainly the right name for this place. What a mixture! We ordered food, wine and shisha. Told ya it was a mix!
We were invited to sit anywhere we liked, although the table that was first pointed at was missing one of its little feet on the bottom, making it pretty slanted. We opted for the level table right next to it. The only word to describe our server is: adorable. She would say the first thing that came out of her mouth, yet she was super sweet. On an order of ribs, her first words were something to the effect of: "Really? Nobody ever orders those." With a bit of a back track to say they had them, but really, she hadn't ever taken an order for them. Message: don't order the ribs. Wings were the replacement instead. She was back to check on us regularly too. Kudos cute little server girl!
Besides smokin' a pipe and sippin' on wine, I got a good dose of veggies in my Greek salad. It was a good salad, with a wee bit of dressing on top and the rest coming in a little dish on the side. And yummy olives too.
Overall, a positive experience... although it's still got me scratching my head a little bit...
