Love Melange - especially for lunch. . .and happy hour (go figure).
Sophisticated without being stuffy, Melange is perfect for a mid-afternoon or post-work dining experience. Imagine a chic setting with a mellow ambiance - enjoy modern jazz music playing softly surrounded by gentle, dim lighting.
The menu blends comfort with delicacy - the Lobster BLT is INCREDIBLE and the "Dirty Chips" (ie - homemade sweet potato/beet chips w/ bleu cheese, pancetta, tomato and scallions) are irresistible.
Happy hour is an absolute steal: $5 menu items throughout the 5 o'clock hour and $6 menu items throughout the 6 o'clock hour. Do yourself a favor and get the Tempura 3 ways: Lobster, Pork, and Green Beans which is a light and satisfying platter of amazingness. Not to mention, an array of imaginative martinis for $6 - for wine and craft beer drinkers, there are some excellent options as well.
Go to Melange for a romantic date or for a quiet drink - I wouldn't be surprised if you fall in love.
Bonus: If you are a Bank of America employee (like my husband is), enjoy a 10% discount off your bill.
