Melzingah Tap House

I hate writing negative reviews but I feel obligated to leave one for the sake of anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions who is interested in dining here. I have celiacs, which is an immune deficiency triggered by gluten (wheat). My family chose this restaurant because they are known to be very accommodating for dietary restrictions and we made them aware of my restrictions when making the reservation. There was an item on the menu labeled as gluten free that I was interested in and upon ordering our food, I was notified that the menu was incorrect and that some items labeled as gluten free are actually not gluten free. I instead ordered the salmon and risotto. My food didn’t come out with my family’s food and I waited 15 additional minutes for my food to arrive to the table. During the time I waited, my family noticed that nearly every dish that arrived at the table was undercooked and needed to be sent back (and was still not cooked to the desired temperature when it returned to the table). My salmon was delicious and all was well until about an hour after I returned home when I became violently ill and remained so through Christmas. The only redeeming quality for this dining experience was the incredible, albeit very overwhelmed, wait staff who unfortunately had to do a lot of apologizing for our dining experience. I really wanted to give Melzinga’s the benefit of the doubt but when my health is on the line I expect it to be taken seriously or at minimum be told that I cannot be accommodated for.

Great place. Nice food selections with gluten free and vegetarian options. The staff was super friendly and service went above and beyond, courteous and extremely helpful....and friendly.

Service was impeccable! Stopped in randomly and Evan L., killed it. Highly recommend the fresh, crispy tuna app & chicken sandwich. Thank you for making date night so special! ps gluten free options galore, chef is accommodating.
