“ Bomb dot com with a side of dynamite! So freakin good, I can't believe we haven't been here sooner. I had the PBLAT (Pork belly bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato on sourdough) with added fried egg on top, and wow oh wow I've never had anything so delicious. Bottomless mimosas for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays until 3pm. Service was quick and friendly, smiles all around and our waitress made sure our mimosas never ran empty for our entire meal. We loved taking a look at all the unique art in the restaurant too. Totally old boaty taverny feel. Loved it! We'll absolutely be back. Highly recommend! Bummed I didn't get photos, I was overwhelmed with excitement to eat everything in sight as it came out. ”

“ I had the blackened prawn salad and it was fabulous. I sat at the bar and the service was really good. I'll definitely be back! ”

“ Service is great but food is so-so. The times I came weren't busy so our food came out pretty quickly. Our waiter would come by to ask if we needed anything. I wasn't a big fan of what I got which was the Tavern Eggs Benedict. I felt it was fairly small for the price and sauce lacked flavor. I did sub the roasted potatoes for tater tots which were good. I tried some of the breakfast pizza and that was better! Their mimosas were strong btw. I'd come back here for drinks and once I'm drunk, maybe the food will begin to taste better lol. Food: 7/10 Service: 8.5/10 ”

“ I dropped by Melville Tavern just by luck. I was headed to my hotel room and decided to pick up some food and maybe grab a beer while I waited. This place came in handy for both. The food was good. I tried some pizza and wings to go - both which were pretty good. The service was OK teetering on not that good. I sat and it took a while to be asked what I wanted. I had two beers while I waited for the food and the servers were busier loudly chatting with each other about being mad at other people than helping me which was a bit unpleasant. Still, I was out fairly quickly and the place has ample parking so life was better once I ate. I may swing by next time I'm in town. ”

“ We eat here all the time and the main reason I haven't reviewed Melville Tavern is that I love that it is easy to get a reservation here and there is rarely long wait. Lots of nearby street parking, and we love their patio seating. Servers are amazing and super friendly every time we come. The patio is very family friendly. Indoors is a little noisey but has a great tavern vibe. Woodfired pizzas are scrumptious (their duck pizza is an absolute favorite), burgers are huge and absolutely delicious, and their weekend brunch is amazing. You really can't go wrong doing any meal here! ”

“ Great food, great service, and great mimosas! We sat outside, a cute area with umbrellas. The gravy with the chicken and waffles was amazing, and I don't see it come with the dish often. The benefit was also delicious, a good amount of salmon and everything was cooked well. We did bottomless mimosas and it definitely worth it, they make sure to keep your glass full. Would definitely come back! ”

“ My friend and I came here for dinner. This spot seemed to have an elevated tavern vibe, as it was festively decorated with high ceilings, and quite spacious. There was a welcoming ambiance to the place. I ordered the Fried Prawn and Ribs, which came with fries, as well as coleslaw. I requested Garlic Parmesan Fries. There were 4 pieces of Shrimp, which were a nice size, delightfully crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. The Ribs were tender, full of boldly flavorful BBQ sauce. Garlic Parmesan Fries were cheesy and satisfyingly crunchy. For dessert, I selected the Chocolate Molten Cake, served with almond biscotti, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream. This took awhile to arrive, but it was worth the wait. There was a candle in the cake, since I was celebrating my birthday. The cake was delicious... Sweet, decadent, oozing with warm, velvety smooth, rich chocolate filling. The biscotti was a lovely accompaniment, while the ice cream also added to the yumminess. Service was solid. Our waiter was friendly and on top of everything. My friend and I enjoyed our evening here. I would be open to returning to try the Herb Crusted Mahi Mahi or Duck Fettuccine. ”

“ Had an excellent dinner experience dining at Melville Tavern. My partner and I wanted to grab some seafood in Monterey but avoid the tourist traps and long lines on Alvarado. We popped in a grabbed an intimate table near the window. We ordered deep fried artichokes, calamari steak, and seafood pasta. It was excellent. Lots of seafood and a very tasty Camaro with broccoli and mash potatoes. Our server was personable and helped us order. I would definitely recommend this spot when in Monterey. ”

“ Visiting Monterey, trying to find a brunch spot on the Sunday morning of Labor Day weekend can be a TALL order. We happened to find the Melville Tavern. What a pleasant surprise. Their brunch menu had a lot of variety and the bottomless mimosas were quite popular at the other tables. I ordered "The Bloody", it was spicy and tasty, but not necessarily my jam. However the Blackened Salmon Benedict was really good! The mix of flavors, quality were worthy of our group's pilgrimage. The biggest draw back were the potato wedges which had more of a grease than spice flavor. ”
