Melange Bistro Bar is a restaurant I told several people about. I dined there before I started my blogging adventure and thought it was fabulous. I ate with a friend and we sampled multiple appetizers and entrees and overall were very impressed, especially with the chilled soups. The mood is that of a chilled upscale sports bar. It's very modern and industrial in design but comfortable and you can get lost in your own conversations because of the very private, high-back booth seating. They feature live music on Fridays and Saturdays that added to my experience.
That being said, I was very disappointed when I returned yesterday to find the friends I sent there displeased with their introduction to Melange bar. They were out of menu items, dining were small, and the service left a lot to be desired. Despite the food the ambiance was nice and the bartender can make a mean martini. After inquiring with waitstaff about the absence of some items, he revealed a new executive chef was on board and the menu would be changing. I hope this change keeps the feel and quality of my first experience. I hate to think my first impression was simply my desire for new within the downtown area.
I am ordering a use of discretion with Melange bistro as a dining establishment with follow up in 1 month or so after the changes are complete. I do still recommend it as a happy hour spot to meet friends for drinks, music and good environment.
Cheers,
