Melrose Grill
Formerly Mapleside – After hearing that the old Mapleside Restaurant had finally reopened under a new name, we thought we’d try again. Having only been once before in all these years, (previously we found it pleasant enough – food and service were both good, but décor needed help). On a Tuesday night, we figured we’d be safe – the place (which had been updated nicely) was relatively empty but we were told (should have been a forewarning) there was a large party, though we didn’t see any. The service was so totally unacceptable and if the only thing that we actually ATE was an indication of the food…. I think this place is in trouble. Apple/Butternut Squash bisque – no flavor at all and way over-priced. After being there 90 minutes and still waiting for our salads, we decided to throw in the towel and left vowing never to return.
