| - What a sweet little gem. It just oozes personality. Unique decor, and if you don't mind being a little warm, ask to sit in the window.
The menu's far more interesting than I expected. It's not the largest in the world, but there are a lot of great meals hidden in there, with some really exceptional flavors. Their take on a Caesar salad was awesome, and I really enjoyed the Bricked Chicken.
What really sold me on this place though, was Happy Hour. Sweet Mel's does it M-F from 4 to close. Love. It. I've been there at least once a week for the past three weeks just for that. $2 domestics, $2.50 imports, and a drink special. I think wine is $5 a glass, but it's not my thing so I don't remember.
They also have a Happy Hour food menu where every meal is only $3. That's not a typo. $3. And they're substantial meals. More than worth the money (though you do have to sit at the bar or in the bar area--get there before the old winos steal all the tables).
If you want to pay full price for a drink, they've got a fuller drink menu. Eric, the bartender, has a menu of interesting drinks that were worth the money to me (though some folks will never pay $5 for a mojito. Speaking of that, the mojito there is infused with honey and basil. It's a must-try for the mixed drink lovers.
Finally, there's the desert menu. According to them, everything's organic and made fresh in-house. According to me, everything's obscenely delicious. The cupcakes are huge, and their actual cakes are pretty awesome too. For $1 you can get three mini cupcakes, each a different flavor. I highly recommend it.
All-in-all, a great experience. Interesting food, a refreshing drink menu, and in my mind, the best happy hour in town. I hope you love it!
