Despite a capacity crowd and a waiting line that spilled over onto the sidewalk, the owner and staff’s good humor never faltered in their efforts to accommodate our every wish. The food may have taken a bit longer than usual but we were too busy enjoying our wine and appetizers to notice. When it arrived, our food was perfectly prepared and presented. This was our first time at Mele Bistro in some time; we all agreed not to let it be so long before we return.
