Meli Melo - Valley Stream

5 stars for waiters and bartender. 0 star for management. They do not give enough food for your money. One piece of fried plantain, one acra, one piece of fried pork per guess. No respect for your plan and no excuse.

I gave it 2 stars because I can't lie. The food is actually good, but not consistently good if that makes sense. Been there 3x and the only thing consistent was weak service. I keep trying to give my people a try but my last visit is what got me here on Google. It was a family dinner that we made reservations for. SMH. No tassot, no legume, no djon djon... You can't request patron in your drinks either unless you're buying the entire bottle. Y'all have to do better. The actual service providers were doing their best but the decision makers here clearly set them up to fail. Get it together.

I would give this place a zero if i could. You guys are broke. If you cant afford to order instacart DO NOT ORDER. You are putting someones job in jeopardy because you dont make enough money to AFFORD what you order. They olaced an instacart order asked to be shown the product to make sure it was right, and then when confirmed it was right still claimed it was wrong so they could get their money back. You aren't honest and I worry what that means for your food. Do better.

I 'm giving two stars only because the waitstaff and bartender really really tried. However, they can only work with what they are given. The menu was handed to us as if everything was available, we order and oh sorry no tassot,. OK then let 's have the pasta, oh sorry no pasta. Ummmm, ok then we 'll take 3 legume, ooh sorry only one legume available. Mind you they opened at 4 and we had 730 reservations. The restaurant was completely empty yet the appetizers took an hour to get. Ordered a patron margarita and was told patron is only available if we buy the whole bottle. The fish was a joke at best and insulting at worst. I 've never seen poisson gwo sél that was so small! Fried fish, small. I 'm talking like the amount of fish on a po ' boy sandwich small. The rice and beans was undercooked and literally tasted like water! The meatballs were sour and the one bite my daughter took had her throwing up. Would not recommend! Just stick to the old saying We have food at home

Worst place ever. I went to brunch. They wanted 45 per person then wanted to upcharge for everything. As a black community you can say brunch and want to upcharge for everything. You wanted 15 extra for chicken wings like yo seriously you wanted 45 for oysters and bacon egg and cheese grits shrimp fish and chicken and waffles and only one type of dessert. This is why I don’t support a lot of black peoples business. It’s price gouging
