Now here's a place I can rely on to have good food, anytime. Recently, I had planned to try out a new restaurant in the Lakewood area, until that place ended up having a 30 minute wait. Luckily, I knew sweet Melissa's was a good and reliable backup. We were seated as soon as a table opened up. Of course, we had to pass the desserts selection on the way up (how do you pick just one!?). We started off with the calamari - not too shabby. I had the pulled chicken risotto and my mom ordered the kale salad, both delicious. To finish, We shared the most scrumptious red velvet cheesecake and didn't let one bite go to waste (it just went to our waists). The reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is simply the fact that they didn't have a drink menu readily available, nor did the waiter present us with one. It's ambiance for dinner would have been better suited for lunchtime.
