    Another great meal at Melao. The service was unbelievable again. Queeny, Joel, Rosado, and the bartender (sorry I forgot your name!) were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Melao is a must-visit when in Dorado.

    The service was outstanding and the meal was fantastic. We had the pork meatball starter (which was our favorite of the night), the paella and yellowtail. Everything was delicious and we would definitely eat here again.
