I&#39;m often disappointed by desserts in fine restaurants, feeling they don&#39;t measure up to the savory main courses, but not at Melisse. The desserts were on par with the savory main courses: elegant and sophisticated without being overly complex or losing the sweet, richness that desserts should have.

Dining in the courtyard at night is very atmospheric and the California cuisine tastes great

Came here on September 30, 2017.

If you come to Santa Monica, don&#39;t miss the seafood here! Especially this store, which is named after the city, feels a bit like an &quot;official flagship store&quot; and is the first choice for seafood.

There are many varieties of seafood here, which are placed in the open counter. They are all fresh goods directly delivered from the dock, and they are all quite large, which makes you particularly appetizing at first glance.

More importantly, the price here is relatively cheap, so the value for money is quite high. There are two kinds of menus here: one is a standard text menu, which is divided into categories on both sides according to oysters, chilled food, appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, sandwiches, side dishes, children&#39;s meals, soft drinks, drinks..., and introduces the specific methods of each dish in detail. There is also a simple picture and text menu, which introduces soups, main dishes, staple foods, etc. in the form of &quot;pictures + dish names&quot;, which is clear at a glance and more suitable for first-time guests like us.

I highly recommend everyone to try Cioppino, a seafood stew created by Italian fishermen. Because it is tomato-flavored (very Italian), the sweet and fresh taste of seafood protein is fully stimulated. I suggest everyone to add an Atlantic Lobster Tail, which costs an extra $9 and you can eat very happily!

The restaurant is not very big, so it may be full during peak dining hours. Although the road in front of the store is relatively small, you can park on the roadside, which is convenient.

We brought our kids and our local friends to the Tar &amp; Roses restaurant. The name of the restaurant contains the character &quot;rose&quot;, which really gives it a romantic feel and the food is also good.

Japanese-style burgers, a bit of a taste surprise

This restaurant is very good, especially the grilled meat, the taste is very good, the sauce is very delicious

My friends know that I like desserts very much, because I think desserts can really make me feel good. So I came to this Huckleberry dessert shop to check in.

我经常对高档餐厅的甜点感到失望，觉得它们不如咸味主菜，但在 Melisse 餐厅却并非如此。这里的甜点与咸味主菜不相上下：高雅精致，却又不会过于复杂，也不会失去甜点应有的甜美劲道。

这家位置很少，总共也才五桌，难怪位置不好定，一个晚上有两个场次，包含甜点总共18道精致的菜色，每道几乎都是90 分以上，但真的让人吃到吃不下去了， 太多食物了，真棒。

This restaurant has very few seats, only five tables in total, no wonder it is difficult to reserve a seat. There are two sessions in one evening, with a total of 18 exquisite dishes including desserts, almost every dish is above 90 points, but it is really hard to eat more, too much food, it&#39;s great.

这是一家非常温馨优雅的餐厅，菜单会随着季节变换。服务是一流的，服务员非常专业，很细心。还有非常棒的葡萄酒！菜肴价格昂贵，但是在特殊的场合是物有所值的。我们打算来这儿呆几个小时，充分享受这里的美食。

This is a very warm and elegant restaurant with a menu that changes with the seasons. The service is first class, the waiters are very professional and attentive. And the wine list is excellent! The food is expensive but well worth it for a special occasion. We planned to spend a few hours here to fully enjoy the food.
