    This was our first visit to Mykonos but it will definitely not be our last! Wonderful ambience, service was friendly and not rushed and the food was exceptional. We visited Greece many years ago and the food at Mykonos was the real deal! What a treat and delight for a special Valentine's Day.

    My wife and I dine at Melina almost once a week. The food is consistently good and the service excellent. If we had to find any faults it would be that the menu needs to be revised as the offerings are limited. The "specials" lose their appeal for example after being the same every week. And note that the menu is quite expensive; for example, given the "special" $44 halibut. Notwithstanding these comments, we will continue to dine at Melina as the service (Sean is a wonderful waiter) and quality of the food remains consistently good.

    Julii is a real gem! The interior is wonderful with much natural lighting. The music was mostly jazz and very relaxing. Not too loud. I started with the Alsacian tartine. The portion was generous and the cheese and fruit (apple?) went well together. Delicious. For my entree, I ordered the lamb tajine and it was delicious with many layers of flavor: apricots, couscous, pine nuts, goat cheese, succulent lamb. The portion was generous and I had to bring some of it home. Our server, Grace, was wonderful. She checked on us at least a couple of times. Service was fast and courteous. I’ll be back to try more of the items on the menu! Overall, my experience was very positive.
