About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Neighbourhood gem
Romantic

Melody is a neighborhood natural wine bar hosting two rotating kitchen crews, FOG's New American Dinner and Adia Pasta with both teams alternating weekend dinner service. FOG is a collaboration between two life long friends, John Palmer, formerly of Kali Restaurant, and Aloise Kieffer of Tart. Adia Pasta is another collaborative effort of two friends and cultures. Karlo Evaristo’s Filipino roots blend seamlessly with Jared Ventura’s long family history of Sicilian pasta making. Adia’s handmade pasta is like no other! Every Monday and Wednesday we host an Indian Dinner by FOG.

The food and wine pairing far exceeded my expectations. Combining that with a semi isolated oasis in a bustling town; I highly recommend MELODY to anyone looking for new intriguing flavors.

Went for a pop-up pasta night. The ambiance is lovely, service was lovely. The food was fantastic but the portions were surprisingly small for the price, more of a very small appetizer than entree.

We didn't realize the menu would be barbecue on the 4th. It was really barbecue - it was hamburgers, hot dogs and such which were not well prepared. The buns were way to small so we had to eat them with a knife and fork. The wines are expensive by the glass. The music is good but way to loud.

This place is such a great under the radar spot. I think because it’s kind of a weird location. Awesome outdoor patio, great food and really good music. Perfect east side brunch spot.

Food was subpar and not what we anticpated. Chicken was undercooked and instead of bringing a fresh piece brought back out the original. Service was poor and had to repeatedly ask for water refills. The Bar tender was doubling as the food runner and couldn't have hated his life more and was less than pleasant. The rabe was way overly salted in the hanger steak dish. Left hungry and disappointed.
