We dined at Sweet Melissa's Cafe on New Year's Eve and had an excellent meal. We did have to wait a little bit for our table, but the food made it worth the wait. We tried 6 things from the menu and shared - all were good and well executed. The serving staff were friendly and helpful, even when we had a discussion about the wine measure.

We do agree with a previous reviewer about the wine - it was $13+ for a glass of what was generally average stuff. The glasses are pretty hefty so it also looked like we were only getting half a measure - we ended up getting a bottle to find out whether it would make 4 glasses (it did).

Sweet Melissa's cafe is a surprise of delectable dimensions in a sea of mediocre cuisine on the island. Melissa, the chef, is creative, meticulous, and knows the value of putting tastes together in complementary fashion. From the scallops served with black-eyes peas and corn, to the cobia with carrot-ginger puree, to the grilled caesar salad, each dish is a delight. By far the best restaurant on the island.

went last year when it was red fish blue fish - same chef - some of the menue the same - but not as good. The new name says it - a sweet place - for the price of the meal and especially the wine you want more than just a sweet place. The food was just ok - the grilled salad the best thing. After you have several of the mini plates and have run up a bill that would get you a great meal somewhere else you end up dissappointed. The wine list was very very limited below $50. The meal didn't measure up to this wine list. Chef find some good wines under $50

We ate there the night before Thanksgiving - it was a fantastic experience! We hadn't been there since Gaye had passed, but now it will be a regular stop. From the food, the service, the wine selections and most of all the presentation - it was amazing. Truly the best food on the island ( and that's coming from two that own a restaurant on the island!)! Keep up the great work Melissa and best of luck at your new location - we'll be there!!!
