Melrose: Reviews & Ratings
Great service and food. Being a casino environment it’s a little noisy with the background music and casino noise. Definitely will be back though. Love the underground parking. Weather was not spectacular so it made a difference.
Always a good time having a few drinks before and after Flames games. I wish they would update their menu with some new selections and specials. Maybe tuna poke Tuesday, yum!! Another great Oiler win. Cheers Melrose!!
A great spot for a burger. Awesome service and really great flavours. For sure a must for casino food if you’re here playing. It’s a great place to stop by even if you’re not!
I was driving through town and craving pizza and knowing that Melrose was nice and central with indoor parking at the casino k figured I'd stop because I heard really good things about the hot honey pepperoni pizza so it was sort of a good.missiom complete and damn was it delicious friendly environment can't wait to com3 back and try more
Stopped in here before the game yesterday. The gluten free pizza crust is among the best I've ever had! Wish I could buy the dough by itself and cook it at home.
I ordered the smoked bacon burger with the truffle fries, and I have to say the truffle fries and the dip were amazing. Great atmosphere, great service and an overall amazing experience. If you haven’t checked out the reinvented Melrose it is a must in Calgary.. our server Olivia was not only intentive but personably and a great asset to the company.
We were surprised to find such a good restaurant inside a casino. We didnt even know it was inside of one actually, it was a pleasant surprise. The food was excelent. Both me and my wife are vegetarian and managed to find plenty of options. The pizza is incredible, the dough is perfect, reminds me of the dough of a very good croissant. The beer was also good, the name was super saturation. We were served by Danissa, she provided excelent service.
My husband and I, along with friends, have been to Melrose twice in the past few months. We enjoyed our casual, evening meals both times, and experienced great service from the wait staff. The first time was extremely busy, and our waitress (I’m sorry I can’t remember her name) was pleasant and attentive despite the pressure of a full restaurant and a lineup at the door. (Which, in itself, indicates the popularity of the venue.) The second time was much quieter (two days before Christmas) and we received great service again, this time from Jenny. We appreciated her friendly nature and hospitality, not to mention her wine recommendations. There is a good menu with lots of choice. Two of our party needed gluten-free options and were happy with what was offered. We would definitely go back to Melrose ourselves and would not hesitate to recommend it to others looking for a casual and tasty dining experience.
