    In a word our experience at Melvyn’s was awful. It was billed as a New Year’s Eve extravaganza yet it turned out to be anything but. They claimed to have live music and there was no music. They had a lounge, which looked more like a funeral parlor. We arrived at 9:00 and anticipated going out afterwards but it took 21/2 hours to serve an appetizer, entree and dessert. The New Year’s event was billed as a price fix dinner for $225 per person yet many items had an up charge. With the meal and 2 cocktails each dinner for 2 cost more than 700. All of the dishes were mediocre. We really liked our waiter who repeatedly apologized for how slow the service was. We would not recommend Melvyn’s to anyone; its time has clearly come and gone.

    Four course meal advertised for NYE was only three courses. Appetizer, entree, and dessert.

    Incredible food, excellent service. My wife and I went for the early-bird NYE special and it was a great experience.

    Overall a good experience as before. Always love dining at Melvyn's. Was surprised to see a 5% wellness surcharge automatically added to the check. Have not seen that anywhere else in PS. Also, would prefer if they went back to their old dress code. Did not enjoy seeing men in cut off denim shorts and sleeveless t-shirts for dinner on a special occasion

    Just a fantastic experience overall. There is nothing that I would change. My Manhattan cocktail was one of the best that I've ever had, as was my chicken potpie. The Brussel sprouts were another highlight. And, my dinning guest had the pasta and it also was very good.

    Melvyn's has terrific food, but what sets it apart is its service. Our waiter, Peter, made the evening special, providing recommendations and being available at exactly the right times. His preparation of the Bananas Foster was memorable. It wasn't an inexpensive evening, but it was more than worth it.

    Great service. Interesting venue and history. Theatrical flaming preparations at table (steak Diane, bananas Foster, cherries jubilee). Great deviled eggs. Perfect for a celebration. Excellent wine list. Seafood comes only with beurre blanc (unless you ask for one of the steak sauces on the side).
