Melt
theMOOD For sheer drama, few destinations can rival the sleek and chic ambience of Melt. The multi-storied restaurant is dressed to impress with a sophisticated contemporary decor that exudes warmth and sensuality, setting a stage for anything from a relaxing post-shopping lunch or intimate dinner a deux to a client-pleasing business meeting in one of the second-floor private function rooms appointed plasma screens for presentations.
theDISH Since Melt opened its doors, Executive Chef Christopher Heath has remained true to the classic cuisine of Italy while adding his own modern spin to the a la carte menu—and keeping an artful eye on presentation. Quality ingredients distinguish both rustic selections, such as crostini with mushrooms and white truffle oil or pizza topped by buffalo mozzarella, and elegant entrees showcasing choice meats and seafood. Premise-made specialties run the gamut from gnocchi to desserts.
theGLASS The art of the cocktail is taken seriously at Melt’s spacious lounge, a popular watering-hole where mixologists concoct an array of martinis, as well as champagne and infused-fruit libations. A glass-walled wine cave houses an impressive collection of wines to fit every taste and budget, and features a broad selection of regional Italian vintages.
theINSIDE SCOOP Hungering for something different? Melt keeps your culinary curiosity piqued with palate-pleasing seasonal features on Fridays and Saturdays. In addition, an assortment of fix-prixe 3-course dinners that change each week will lure you back again and again–and at a modest price of only $29, there’s no reason to deny yourself that pleasure.
