Old time Hollywood vibe in this Sintra favourite. But I'm not a fan of steak so the huge portion of hamburger was a bit much for... me. My husband said the steak was fine too. Caesar was great though. Read more
I decided to share my own experience since the reviews over the last few months have been very mixed. We were a party of 6... celebrating my birthday on a Friday night. The host and servers were all very welcoming and accommodating. Our server wasfriendly and capable. We ordered cocktails and were given the opportunity to enjoy them for a few minutes before orderingappetizers (two of them pictured here: the deviled eggs and the cheese and meat plate). We lingered a while over the appetizersbefore ordering our mains. We probably waited a little too long to do that because the mains did take about 40-45 min once weplaced the order. It wasn't awful, as we still had some cheese and such on the table, but it did slow down the pace. By the timewe were done with the evening it was 3 hours later. Again, a bit of that was our fault, but the kitchen was a little slow. Thefood was good, not great, but I didn't necessarily expect great to be honest. It's not a Michelin-rated restaurant. It's an oldschool steak-house type of place. You're there largely for the history and elegance of the place. I had the Wagu burger, whichwas well prepared and tasty. The fries were mushy and not hot. Two friends had the sea bass: one devoured it and the otherbarely took a few bites, so mixed reviews there. Another friend had the chicken pot pie, which I tasted, and everyone agreed itwas amazing (and huge!). Another friend had a seafood dish (I'm forgetting what it was) but it was a small portion with nosides. Dessert was good, especially the key lime pie. All in all it was a fun, elegant experience, and I'd definitely go back. Read more
I was in town for work. The food was ok at best. The servers were great and tried to make it better, but starting from the... bread, it was bad. It tasted as if it were cooked in old oil, had a rancid oil smell. The escargot was weird and watery somehow.Then the entrees came and I had the ribeye, which wasn't a bad cut of meat, but it wasn't seasoned. I had peppercorn brandysauce and a colleague had the demi-glace. Upon trying both it was the same sauce except one had peppercorns in it. The sideswere also an issue, even the carrots were mushy. Wouldn't recommend it. Read more
Our server was attentive and the restaurant itself was really nice. We enjoyed our time and the live music was going on at the... time we had dinner. We enjoyed the tableside prep and the ambience of the place. I specifically really loved the old hollywooddeco of the restaurant and the live music. Read more
Dinner at Melvyns was phenomenal. Service was over the top and the food was great. Came here for my birthday with my dad and was... not disappointed. The bread is delicious with a crispy outside and soft inside. Steak Diane with mash potatoes was very filling.Dad got the chicken pot pie and side of Mac and cheese. All in all great experience will definitely be back next year… ormaybe sooner ???? Read more
Beef wellington was quite excellent. Older crowd, atmosphere, and classic out of the 70s. Staff was great and the drinks robust... and good Read more
