   Weather was perfect, appetizers were fabulous (meat lovers flatbread, mezze platter & fish tacos) and service (Robert) was phenomenal.

   Food, as always was good (we enjoyed Saturday brunch). Service was friendly but very slow. There was only one server for all tables, which was totally insufficient- a management problem, not a server problem. This impacted our experience. Ambiance was great.

   We had a reservation for 8 PM. When we got to Melange, they said that they had the reservation, but the kitchen was closed at 8 PM, so bye bye! No sorry, no apology, no nothing! We will never go back. OpenTable should not allow reservations that the restaurant doesn't honor. At the very least, we should have gotten a call from the restaurant to modify the reservation. Terrible customer service!!

   All employees with whom we had contact were very personable and helpful, but, given very few patrons in the restaurant, the service was slow. The food was just OK at best. I doubt we will return.

   Went for dinner on a Sunday night. Robert, the waiter, was excellent. The restaurant had run out of most of their beer selection and a few of their entrée items. If we go back, it'll be for brunch.

   The ambience is always nice however the service level was incredibly poor. The restaurant has a host, server, bartender/servre and busser. Wouldn't go back there for dinner anytime soon but good happy hour spot, we have always stuck to happy hour and guess should have on this occasssion also.

    Came across this little gem, showed up on my FB page! We are staying in LaQuinta for the 3rd time & just found out about Melange!! Robert was the most awesome waiter. Kind, caring, considerate & funny! We went for Happy Hour 3-5, a nice little menu available! Flat bread pizzas were delicious. Someone else had the wrapped dates & another had the cod tacos. All delicious!! The view makes you feel like you are not in the desert!!!
