Melo Eatery - Calgary

Great choice imaginative offering during Food Festival ....Quiet!!! We could hear each other speaking

We had the course meal which included the vegetable gratin, salad niçoise, pork tenderloin, filet mignon, and creme brulée. Everything was cooked excellently though the flavours, however delicious they were, lacked a depth. This is not due to the restaurant, but moreover because French cuisine is not remarkably inspiring in taste. Overall we enjoyed our dining experience: the ambience, service and food went together in a pleasing package

Perfection, great food and service! highly recommend

I have lunch at after the rush hour . I have the Duck, the service and food is very good

Five of us had dinner so we had a wide variety of the dishes. The winners: The lettuce leaf salad thinly sliced green applies and a spectacular vinaigrette; The frisee salad a great combination but could have used a bit more frissee, overall well balanced and delicious. French onion soup was a light version with a moderate Cheddar topped crouton vs the mounds of gooey melted gruyere that is usually used. Lamb Shank with cassoulet beans, perfectly cooked a great combination. The Hangar steak perfectly cooked medium rare ovals of beef on micro crispy potatoes The misses: Charred tuna a huge portion of seared on the outside, raw in the middle with a mass of split baby potatoes topped with crispy microfrites and a gooey caper sauce good individual components but did not work together way too many potatoes. The eggplant based vegetarian dish was a big miss not much flavour. Side dishes Gnocci, tasty but oversized served in a mini skillet tasty with toothsome texture, about large gnocci. Charred broccoli with Mornay sauce the sauce just graced the bottom of the plate hard to see as it was on a white dish the broccoli a little undercooked and crunchy with a delicate char.The desserts were all good and not make at home' dishes. The Crème brulee was solid if not very exciting, the tarte tatin a different take on a classic with a knock out lemon sorbet and a Vacherin meringue with crème anglaise. Overall, good to very good with a couple of misses. One annoyance was the plates were cold and the food was generally cool or lukewarm
