 Melvyn's Restaurant Restaurant Review: Tucked into the historic, intimate Ingleside Inn, Melvyn’s is a beloved restaurant with a menu that has hardly changed, except for the prices, since it opened in 1975---and it was old-fashioned then. But it’s the ambience, not the food, which keeps customers coming back. The dining room is timelessly elegant, with crystal chandeliers, linen-clad candlelit tables and comfortable chairs. The garden room flows seamlessly from it and offers a less formal but equally attractive setting. The signature entrée is veal Ingleside, topped with avocado and a particularly creamy mousseline sauce, but the steaks figure prominently. Other dishes are as rich as the veal: chicken breast with prosciutto is accompanied by a béarnaise sauce; the flan is baked with Kahlúa for added sweetness. Just get in a retro mood and enjoy. Many dishes are prepared tableside by a tuxedoed waiter who has been flambéing here for many years. It’s a mixed crowd of old and young, perhaps because in spite of all the trappings of luxury, Melvyn’s also offers a low-priced, prix-fixe offering alongside the pricier à la carte menu. Happy non-foodies also fill the dance floor at the rear of the adjacent Casablanca Lounge (the bar serves topnotch martinis). |
