| - Whether you're visiting the Cleveland, Ohio area or your live around here, if you haven't already experienced Melt, GO THERE NOW! In fact, if you are for some reason reading this and aren't visiting Cleveland or planning a visit there, plan one just to go to this restaurant. It's that good.
First of all the atmosphere is great. The interior decor is really cool - eclectic and modern with just a little bit of weird. It's pretty small inside, which is why you often have to wait a while for a table (maybe even 2 hours if you go at a busy time but it's worth it). The bar is positioned in the back and is pretty large. If you're alone or with one other person I'd suggest trying to snag a seat at the bar. You're closer to all the great booze they have to offer and you don't have to wait an hour for a table. Plus the bartenders are really cool at this place. I could sit there and chat with them all day.
The menu (which is a recycled album cover) is ridiculously good. There's grilled cheese sandwiches on here that I would have never thought would exist or go well together, yet they just work. I suggest trying the Parmageddon, which is a grilled cheese with pierogi and sauerkraut... yum. My other favorites are the Mushroom Melt (like Heaven in your mouth) and the Big Popper which contains jalapenos, cream cheese and it comes with a mixed berry preserved dipped sauce which sounds weird but trust me it's really good. Needless to say there are plenty of grilled cheese concoctions to try and every once I'd tried so far has been even better than the last. P.S. don't you dare go to Melt and not order a grilled cheese or some kind, you've got to be crazy if you do that. Did I mention this place is super cheap at like around $10 a sandwich, plus you get a pile of fries and coleslaw too? Doesn't get any better than that...
The beer selection is awesome... theres a huge beer menu and many of them are on tap. Once I went to Melt over the holidays with a friend and we tried about 5 or 6 different holiday beers there alone. The menu has a pretty good description of what to expect from each beer but if you're still uncertain about trying something new, just ask your waiter or bartender and they'll give you a little sample. Which brings me to my next point...
The staff here is incredible. Everyone is super chill and cool and I feel like I'm hanging out with my friends every time I go there, even though they are all pretty much complete strangers. They are attentive and go above and beyond to make sure your experience is good while you're there.
The only bad thing about Melt is the wait for a table. Because this place is so darn good, everyone wants a piece. That means you could end up waiting 1-2 hours for a table if you go at peak hours. Even if you don't go at peak hours there's still usually some kind of wait. Don't even think about bringing a big group to this place, you'll never get seated. My suggestion to you would be to go with one or two other people and try to sit at the bar. You can order food from the bar and that way you don't have to wait and hour plus for a table. If you are set on getting a table, just grab a beer at the bar and sit on one of the open benches until it's ready. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
