IMPORTANT. For All Event Planners out there, DO NOT use Melba's for an event. You'll be VERY embarrassed. I still can't believe that with a 100% pre-paid confirmed dinner for 43, my entire party was left standing outside on the sidewalk for Over 30 minutes!!! I had even called and spoken to the manager on duty that evening, Velda, and asked her if I should call her from our coach when we were on the way. She said, "No."

Nothing about the event or evening was Professional. They served approx. 12 people champagne outside, but that was it. Everyone else was wondering where there's was. Velda should NEVER have seated people KNOWING that we were coming. When the people eventually got up, the room was cleaned in such haste, that a slimy piece of bacon was left on the floor. Of course, that was the 1st thing that one of my corporate clients noticed. I bent down in my dress and picked it up.

The service was terrible. They have a tacky card system where everyone has to write down their order and their name. I was willing to live with it if it worked, but it didn't. Every other plate either had the wrong side dish or the wrong entree. Another client, after waiting forever for his plate, said, "At this point, I'll eat anything." Not everyone got dessert.

The food is fine. THe staff was nice, but sooooo inefficient. I waited a bit to post this to see if Melba (who was supposed to be there but wasn't) ever reached out to apologize. She didn't. ENOUGH SAID.
