Restaurant Meliora

There is a new chef! We had drinks at their beautiful bar, and dessert. Drinks are good and I've always liked the bartender. I'm only giving 4-stars until I try a dinner. The menu looks intriguing, and the chef gave came out and shared a great description of the thought put into the food selection. The menu offers a 4-course $64 per person table special that we plan on trying. If you've had it let me know what you think! Meliora is a beautiful space. A little confusing to figure out which door is the front door ... but they all work :)

I had a great meal at Meliora restaurant. We started with Roasted Beef for appetizers, then my partner and I shared Duck Breast and Grilled Tofu with zucchini for our main courses. We finished with a delicious Meliora Shortcake for dessert. It was a fantastic dining experience!Oh and the cocktail menu was great.Highly recommended

We had a reservation for a Saturday night earlier in January but when we arrived there were no other parties. Our group shared quite a few dishes but were mostly neutral about everything we ate. Some items were very disappointing though as 6 pieces of asparagus as a side were $13 or something crazy like that.Looks like there is a new chef though so hopefully things will improve when they reopen!

One star for the great host Rodger, one star for the delicious Midori Sour.Prepping green beans 101, is before cooking you cut off the stems. A perfect poetry of food and drink pairing this most definitely was not. At over 100 per person at the end with drinks, this by far was one of my least favorite Thanksgiving meals. A last minute reservation for Thanksgiving, but would have rather had a premade meal from Amazon Fresh and saved my money. The ambiance delectable, Roger was a fantastic host, I do hope you can work towards a much better future in a culinary experience.

Quiet place with amazing service. Our server was amazing.However very empty for a Friday evening. I got the salmon and wasn't a fan. It came with a mushroom "tea" which tbh honest lacked flavor. I have had more flavorful salmon. My friends seemed to enjoy their dishes: pasta, lamb, chicken but they weren't raving about it either.

The best service in Capitol Hill. Food is amazing. The environment is clean and friendly.

I was excited to try this place as there are not a lot of restaurants with "Pacific Northwest" cuisine. We went to this restaurant in a group of 7 people. I acknowledge that it's fairly new and they are likely still ironing out some kinks but I thought their service was really lacking. We waited about an hour for our appetizers and the main dishes took about two hours. We ended up being there almost three hours total. The cocktails were interesting and tasty. The steak and scallops were decent but the fish dishes were over cooked. We enjoyed the burrata appetizer. Tuna tostadas were okay but the beef tartare was one of the worst I've had. Overall I probably would not return unless they made some serious adjustments The ambiance was nice and the decor was unique. Location is great. They just need to vastly improve on their service and focus more on improving their appetizers and dishes.

this place was very confusing. Starting with the entrance and inside. This place took over a large, ale house with great windows and woodsy aesthetics. Now it has at least 6 different themes:-wood plank walls (PNW)-rose on each table w black cloth napkins (fine dining)-aluminum sections of the ceilings (industrial)-velvet chairs and booths (chic)-animal head on wall (rustic?)-original building window panes (gothic architecture)Ended up just getting drinks here because the aesthetics threw me so off I didn't know what to order... :( the restaurant space is SO large. If the entire vibe was actually PNW it would be fantastic.

I had to have a second one !!!! Food flavors was beyond expected, dessert makes me come back

We arrived here around 8pm for a 8:15pm reservation on a Valentine's day. The restaurant is well furnished and designed. There are several sofa and couch for people to sit and wait for their table. Our table was ready in about 10 minutes. The Valentine menu had 3 choice for the main course: Salmon, steak, or risotto. The food came in order with a well garnished design. They were delicious and had the perfect size for one to fill full afterwards. The service here was also good. Everyone was super polite and considerate.The only thing that bothered me was the temperature. The restaurant has a high ceiling so I guess it is hard to keep inside warm. And we were assigned with a table right next to the door, with all the people coming in and leaving we had to keep our jacket and coat on during the entire dinner.
