Definitely a fan but was a tad disappointed.....still giving it 4 stars but some things they should know...if they read posted reviews.
The location is nice, a lovely upscale part of Cleveland. I was visiting with some friends and after a full day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame we were famished and ready so Melt seemed like a great place for a unique enjoyable tasty and memorable meal.
I had seen Melt reviewed many years ago on Man Versus Food and wanted to visit for a long time. The moment we got there were excited as the setting is super cool, the decor is awesome. Retro, unique, authentic, tasteful, and whimsical just plain fun!!!
We got seated rather quickly but then we had to wait.......honestly......45 minutes from the time they seated us until our meals eventually arrive. This is just too much and to make matters more frustrating our waitress didnt seem fazed by this at all. No apology, no manager came over to address the situation nothing. I was let down. In the very least she could've told us the kitchen was backed up and suggested quick appetizers like fries or something to tie us over. Just no real thought or concern on this point.
Our sandwiches were memorable and the price was right. In the end it was a great meal for sure and all 4 of us were happy. I dont come to Cleveland oftern (likely not again for a very very long time) but I can recommend Melt. My only tip is that you ask the waitress how long the kitchen is backed up so you can possibly get some quick apps on the table.
