I gave this place a 4 overall. The food was fantastic. I had the branzino and my wife had the pork chop, and they were amazing. Also, the calamari was outstanding. The cocktails were great. I had the smoked old fashioned. She had a Manhattan once again. Great job to the bartender. The waitress was good. She did forget one of our items and had to reorder it, but it was out quickly. The only issue that I had was the tables were a little wobbly, and it wasn’t just the table we were at; it was the table next to us as well, so we had to be moved. So my only advice is to maybe work on those tables to get them so they’re not so wobbly. If you’re going to be paying 50 to 60 bucks for a steak, you should have a straight table that’s not going to teeter.

Had an amazing dinner at Melie, everything from the food to the cocktails was fantastic. We started with the saganaki (flaming cheese) and crispy spanikopita, both perfectly cooked and full of flavor.
The main dishes were outstanding. The souvlaki was juicy and beautifully charred, and the potatoes were crispy and addictive. We also tried the mixed seafood grill with shrimp, octopus, and fish which was amazingly fresh and delicious.
The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, especially the espresso martini and the Kevin cocktail made dinner a show! Dessert was a highlight: baklava cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake, and a unique take on bougatsa each one was excellent.
The presentation was beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and stylish, and the service was great. Melie will quickly become one of my new favorite restaurants. Highly recommend!

Meli offers a complete dining experience. The menu offers many dishes that are primarily Greek, but with their own take. The Deconstructed Pastitsio is layered with short run, sitting atop wide paccheri pasta, played on a spicy became, bringing traditional flavor in contemporary style. The Poached Sesame Tuna while served beautifully, is best enjoyed all mixed up. As good as the food is, the service is what really shines. Not just our waiter but the food runner as well as the young lady cleared our plates, were all polite, well-spoken and engaging. This is legitimate 5-star establishment.

Stop scrolling. You found the place. Eat here! We had the most delicious meal. The atmosphere was fantastic, they gave us a quiet table in the corner. The drinks were delicious, the beef souvlaki and creamy risotto were to die for…. The chef even came out to make sure we loved the food and gave us a chocolate mousse! I would eat here every night of the week if I could. 100 stars!!!

Honestly just above and beyond from the moment we walked in. Service is 10/10. Ambiance is great – place is beautifully decorated. Bartenders Katie and Alex were so friendly and accommodating. Checked on us just enough. Paige the manager was so nice and came to check on us when we had a slight issue with our order. Everyone was just truly great. Customer service like this is hard to come by. The food was absolutely delicious. 10/10. Everything tasted homemade and was very reasonably priced. The cocktails were also great. The espresso martini was especially delicious. I truly feel this place is special and can’t wait to come back.

Our first visit to Meli European Taverna in downtown Easton was outstanding. The reservation process was easy, and the food was exceptional. The Chilean Sea Bass was perfectly prepared, and the ribeye special was incredible.
Service truly made the night special. Katie was friendly and attentive, and Chef Sal came out personally to welcome us and check on every course. He even surprised us with a complimentary mussel dish — a great touch.
Some of the best food and service we’ve had in a long time. We’ll absolutely be back!

I heard so many positive recommendations about this place and decided to try it on a Saturday night. We went with another couple, had reservations and were seated no problem but it was very crowded and everyone was squeezed into this little table. Ok, I get it – downtown Easton restaurants can get crazy on Saturday nights. I really wanted to enjoy this place but it was so noisy and loud, we could barely have a conversation among our group. The service was good but two people in my party had to send their drinks back because they were so sickly sweet, they were not drinkable. They look great – but that’s where it ends. We ordered two appetizers- the eggplant and the meatballs. I’m not a huge eggplant lover but the rest of the table said it was good. The meatballs were tasty but you only get four little bite size meatballs, very small portions. The entrees were just ok – I had the pork chop, which had a tiny dab of mashed potatoes served with it. The pork chop was somewhat dry – nothing special. My wife did enjoy the Bronzino but the “broccolini” served with it was so garlicky and spicy, it was inedible to anyone that tried it at our table. The lamb shank was good and someone had another fish entree but the name escapes me – both said they were decent but far from the raving reviews on this site. Overall, for the small portions and large prices, I was very underwhelmed. I honestly don’t understand all the five-star reviews for this place when there are so many other great options in downtown Easton.

Just had an amazing experience at Meli! The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. The chef personally checked on each table and shared thoughtful recommendations.
We started with the Brussels sprouts drizzled in the most incredible garlic feta sauce I’ve ever tasted. Our mains were just as impressive: tender lamb shank with orzo, creamy wild mushroom risotto, and perfectly cooked dorata with broccolini.
We wrapped up with cappuccinos and a trio of desserts that blew us away: baklava cheesecake with lavender honey, a specialty cinnamon ice cream dessert with caramel and fried dough, and every bite was unforgettable.
Easton is lucky to have a place like this. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful dinner at Meli with my husband and good friends. Danielle was our waitress and was fantastic. Very personable and very good waitress. Paige also came over and talked with us and was super friendly. My friend ordered “the Kevin” and we got a nice little story about his origins. I also want to praise the hostess who was able to seat us at a table we wanted and I think she had to work a little magic to make it happen. My filet was perfect and husband’s sea bass was just right. Side salad also delicious. Danielle was great throughout our entire meal from start to finish. Meli is my favorite Easton restaurant. Thanks Danielle and Paige. ( and hostess but didn’t get her name, Thursday night)
