Nous avons été ravis par notre expérience au restaurant Melba ! L'ambiance est à la fois chaleureuse & élégante, avec un décor charmant. Le concept de plats à partager est vraiment plaisant, parfait pour découvrir plusieurs saveurs. Tout était délicieux : des cocktails originaux aux assiettes bien présentées & savoureuses.

Le service était impeccable. Notre serveuse était souriante, attentionnée & connaissait bien le menu. C'est une adresse qu'on recommande sans hésiter pour une belle soirée entre amis ou en couple !

Melba !!! Quelle belle découverte tu as été ! Sans aucun doute notre meilleure expérience au resto de l'année 2025. Nous serons assurément de retour, entre autres, pour le tartare de boeuf divin ainsi que les hors d'oeuvres d'exception ✨ Merci pour cette soirée sans faille !

BEWARE: There is road construction happening all around the restaurant. Travel to the neighborhood & parking is an absolute nightmare right now. Prepare to park a few blocks away.
We had high hopes for our meal at Melba, & while the meal was very good, there were a few things that just left us feeling unfulfilled. While we were right on time for our reservation & were promptly seated, it became clear pretty quickly that the kitchen was in a routine to serve based on a seating system, taking a certain number of folks during specific time slots...which is fine but not practical given the size of the restaurant. It's not a brigade kitchen & unfortunately it tainted our experience. We didn't receive a morsel of food for nearly an hour after being seated. Part of the problem was the way service was presented. While my wife & I both agreed that the service was excellent overall, we couldn't understand why the waitstaff needed to provide an explanation for every single item on the menu. It's unnecessary to describe every single preparation in detail to every single table. It's simply slows down service & makes folks anxious. I guess there is a case to be made that descriptions will save time in answering questions, but running through the entire menu?...I don't see the need. When our server finally got around to our table, to speed up ordering, & hopefully getting some food to eat, we made sure to let her know that we didn't need her to describe dishes we wouldn't be ordering. The food is executed at a very high level. The very small menu is strangely written & frankly confusing...& if you're a vegetarian, you should probably consider going somewhere else. The'Appetizers' are more an Amuse Bouche...meaning you're only going to get just a few bites. The Basque-Style egg with Red Tuna Rillettes & Basil is essentially a deviled egg...ONE egg, split in half filled with a tuna rillette. It was fine.'On the Plate' might be entree's...or they might be side dishes or in our case, another'Appetizer'. The Provençal-style tomato, parsley, parmesan & garlic scapes was a larger plate & very good. Scallops, cucumber, grilled nectarine & coriander cream was another delicious'appetizer'. The Confit halibut, zucchini tian & saffron beurre blanc was a star but unfortunately the Dauphiné ravioli & corn consommé with yellow wine just didn't fulfill its promise. The pasta was undercooked & the flavors in broth were difficult to pick up. Desserts were fine with the Rice Pudding, plum jam, caramel & coconut ice cream being the winner in my mind. The meal was very good as you'd expect from a Michelin Bib Gourmand, but our experience seemed just a bit stuffy for the environment. The dining room was very loud & frankly the music playlist seemed strange & out of place. I'm being picky, I know. But after spending nearly $300 for food, drinks, tax & tip, we left wondering what Melba was trying to achieve...the food & service are worthy of a very good fine dining room but the rest felt more a bit too'neighborhoodsy' for the prices.

Very high end food. The flavor profile was elaborate & the presentation is very pleasing. Nice cozy spot situated on a very picturesque street. (once the construction is over).
