We were there for Blink so expected the worst. They prepared us to expect a little slower service due to the crush, but it was fine. They really handled things perfectly. And the food was delish.

Wonderful, wonderful dining experience from the moment you walk into the restaurant to the moment you leave. All staff was wonderfully attentive and friendly. The food was really wonderfully prepared and presented. This is the experience I’ve had every time I have dined at Losanti. They really do things right!

Delicious food and good happy hour deals. Service was amazing, Emma took good care of us and was so lovely to interact with. Really great pizza and the fancy ranch salad is one of the best salads I’ve ever had! Highly recommend

Mellotone is one of my favorite spots! It is seriously an underrated spot and is so flexible! Whether you want a sit down dining experience (day or night—their brunch and dinner menus are both so good!), want to hang out upstairs as a group with some drinks, or enjoy the live music hideaway that is Undertone, this spot has got you covered. I was even pleasantly surprised that they have kids menus here, which worked perfectly as I was dining with my young niece.
