Oh Melt. You are so cute. You, with your tattoo motif, your Christmas kitsch above the bar. How did you ever think of making vinyl album covers into menus? That is so cute.
Where you transcend cute is with your menu, though. I consider myself a grilled cheese afficionado, and your original take on an American classic is superb. I couldn't eat everything on my plate when I visited you, but your grilled cheese with portabello mushroom and carmelized onions tasted just dandy when I ate it cold the next day. Scrum!
Even better was your tomato soup. Like a mild salsa meets gazpacho. So chunky and spicy. Could. Not. Get. Enough.
The waiter you sent us was attentive to me but not to my hubby and bro who got the shaft on drink re-fills. But that wasn't enough to slight me, for whenever I'm in the town of my birth, you know I'll be melting at the opportunity to see you once more.
