I have enjoyed my experience at Mama Melrose's twice. Both times I have ordered the Eggplant Nopoleon (first time on servers recomendation 'I love the eggplant here'). And it is wonderful. My only complaint is that now I cant order eggplant at home because it doesnt compare. The bread they bring is wonderful as well. Service was extremely friendly but moderately slow this first visit, the exact oposite on the second. The atmosphere is very unique and having dined in New York I must say they capture the feel very well (from a tourists point of view, local from New York would prob. disagree).
