We were so excited to visit Melba's for a graduation celebration and a 3:30 reservation. We even contacted them by email to confirm our big day.I preface my comment with the fact that we are a highly educated family from Maryland. The weather was terrible, but we were determined to take the trek from the Bronx to Melba's-all 14 of us!

We called to let them know we were on our way and were told there was no reservation, despite the rude staff person saying our last name.

He offered little understanding or interest in serving us. We told him that a female took the reservation, but he implied that we were lying. It was a belittling experience.

We decided that Melba's could not offer the celebratory atmosphere we were seeking and chose instead to dine at the Row House. That was an awesome celebratory atmosphere with good food and music!
