Service was adequate but carbonara was anything but a true carbonara! Tasted like pasta that was cooked in chicken broth with some bacon bits and no peas or eggs. Not worthy of any stars!

3.8 stars. Melios is literally the cutest - the decor the art, the displays everything is just so charming and fun with an amazing view of the mountains, we would've loved to dine outside but they were not offering that, that evening. Tortellini, ravioli, bolognese, lasagna and veal - those are the entrees we ordered and everyone had a bite of each persons, it was good but didn't overwhelm me with eye rolling flavor, the homemade noodles were delightful. The eye rolling flavor came from desserts, the peach caramel cake sounded like a strange combination but it was sooo good! The owner is the sweetest and you can tell she is busting her hump to make sure everyone has a great experience and we love and support that! Overall we had a great experience at Melios.

The female owner is a nasty old prune. She is rude and enjoys it. If you'd like to be lectured about why you should spend one minute making a reservation, this place is for you. If you just want a spontaneous dinner, you will be placed at the punishment table near the kitchen in a dark corner. The food is hit and miss. The pizza is not good. It's quirky but looks a touch dirty. Has great views that only the owners A list can appreciate. We've been here a few times. The female owner is always unsmiling and, frankly, quite a sourpuss.

I requested that the kitchen prepare a pasta primavera. I’ve had it in the past but it is not on their current dinner menu. My request was honored. One of the best plates of pasta I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating!

These people fo not care if you are there or not. Breath takingly stupid and slow. Super small portions and not very good. Never again! I live here full time year 'round - never again!
Dinner was good. Lasagne and chicken Marsala. That’s why it was so sad that the service was lacking. Chipped glass. Dirty flatware. Grocery store bread. All things so easy to fix. Also wait staff was really unengaged. For example they did ask how everything was but then didn’t even wait for an answer. Really felt like we were annoying them. Too bad. Could be a wonderful little gem.
The female owner is rude and classless. The food is mostly good. But we've also had some bad dinners there. It's hit and miss. Also, if you don't make a reservation, be prepared to sit at the punishment table in the corner. And probably receive a tongue lashing for not making a reservation. Not kidding.

Our experience was wonderful. The food was outstanding and our waiter may have been the best waiter we have ever had. We will be back!

We have eaten here several times. Whilst the atmosphere is a bit dumpy, it has a certain charm. The female owner at the door has no charm whatsoever. She is brusque to the point of being rude. We have made reservations in the past. Unless you have a large party of 6 the window seating is unavailable. We have also just walked in for an impromptu night out. Imagine the horror! What? A walk in customer to eat at your restaurant?? You'd think the sky just fell in the way the unhappy female owner treats you. We were scolded like children for not making a reservation as she led us to the punishment table by the curtain in the corner. Then she nastily said, you know it's a one minute phone call for a reservation. It was 5 pm. 1 table was dining. It was empty.
At that point she walked away. My husband and I looked at each other. I said, I didn't care for that comment. Snarky, rude and disrespectful. We left. We went to The Resort at Tubac and were welcomed in for a wonderful meal with amazing service
Bye Melios.

Our server ( Angelica)was not very friendly. Never checked after our dishes were served. We would have ordered wine, and possibly dessert. Very inattentive service . It seemed like other servers were making their customers happy. Food was lukewarm, not hot!
