Had cafe benedict, cured salmon crepes and island breeze smoothie - all very good. Smoothie had a nice blend of mango and pineapple . Portions are huge.

Kate

If you're here for lunch , try the Meli Salad . So good! A juice on the side makes a perfect healthy combo- I recommend the Body Cleanser (carrot , cucumber , and beet )

There's almost always a wait, but there's a reason. Squeeze through the crowd and put your name in with the host/hostess. Worth it.
