Meli Cafe - Chicago

The restaurant owner was surprisingly terrible. We came with a party of 3 and we stated we had 3 more coming. The owner said he would combine tables once the people were at the restaurant. After 5 min, our party arrived (all minorities) and then the ownersaid he couldn't combine tables. I pointed out that several other parties had combined tables and he told me he knows how to dohis job. I asked if he was the owner and he said yes. I told him I intend to write a review about our experience today and hesaid good. He had no intentions of trying to make it right or court our future service. It's clear that he had animositytowards us. In addition, the food was terrible and we had several overripe strawberries in our fruit cup and on our pancakes(see picture). The waitress was very nice, but that was the only good part about this place. It goes without saying, but Iwill not be returning and I hope that my honest experience keeps other people from visiting the restaurant with an owner that seems not to care about providing acceptable service.

Good quesadillas! I didn?t like the banana Bread French toast and they swapped it no questions for the tacos. Seated very quickly with short wait and no reservations. Martina is very kind!

Simply not good at all. I order the tofu scramble with veggies, tasteless and not how a todu scramble should be at all. Very expensive aswell. Would not recommend.

Decided to stop by this place for a light breakfast. Wife got the beet juice, yogurt and I went with the salmon Benedict with hash. This was delicious! I tried some of my wife?s yogurt and it was delicious as well. Definitely recommend you stop by thisplace to eat.
