    I am more than irritated by businesses like Mama Melina’s that have a little note at the bottom of your check, which is way over priced in the first place, that says that they are charging an extra 3% because the cost of food has gone up and none of the extra 3% goes to the staff. The cost of food going up is just like any business that survived the post-pandemic costs rising. It’s just the cost of doing business. It should come out of your profits, not the consumer’s pocket. None of the 3%, at the very least, going to your excellent staff is sickening. Gosh, I wonder if I told my grocery store I should always get a 3% discount because the cost of food has gone up they would agree. Of course not. Further the quality of your food has gone down. My husband’s rib eye, for example, was 1/2 fat and tough. My seafood and linguine tasted nice, but my dish was so filled with just green salad stuff to make it look bigger than it was, I could not take a bite without the green stuff sticking to it. Oh, and $12 for a scoop of ice cream is just ridiculous. So, while your bread and drinks are delicious and your staff is very nice, I can’t give you a glowing recommendation on your food or the way you do business.

    Great location, great team, pasta slightly overcooked, and a little dry but did have good flavor. Tiramisu could use a little improvement- it had more cream than biscuits dipped in espresso that I would like. Good evening as the overall ambiance is nice and the service was great.

    The food was excellent. The service, however did not match the quality of the food.
    Mamma MelinaResponded on 21 September 2024
    Hello! Thank you for the feedback, and thanks for dining with us. Service excellence is something we always strive for, but unfortunately, last night we had several key staff members call out due to illness, which combined with UW Move In week causing one of our busiest Friday's of the year, resulted in some service struggles. My staff did their absolute best and I am very proud of what we were able to do given the circumstance, but I apologize that we were not up to our usual standard for your experience. I hope you'll be back again soon so that we can show you our best! Thanks again, Casey GM

    Mamma Melina is such a go to. Very consistent with service and food. The lunch menu is full of delicious options. Fresh and welcoming atmosphere. For lunch with a friend it was the perfect spot.

    Mamma Melina has a wonderful lunch deal with a generous 2 course meal at $22. I had a delicious steelhead trout and vegetable plate and dessert. Service was excellent. This place is always a favorite.
