Mel's at 22

This place was amazing. We sat at the bar to avoid the wait. Our bartender Chris was very helpful in selecting the best dinner and drinks. The food was seasoned to perfection. The shrimp scampi popped with delicious garlic. I had the halibut with the delicate, but tasty breading, and delicious sauce. A real dining experience paired with delicious drinks. Highly recommend.

First time here . Food , service and atmosphere were perfect! the burger was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The shrimp tacos were a hit and the chicken caprese panini was also delicious

We love this town, our burger was delicious and we had pleasant service.

We had reservations at another establishment but decided to dine here at last minute and so glad we did. Service was top notch, our server Sean was very friendly. Nice vibe and the food just delicious. I ordered the beet risotto with shrimp and my husband had the porterhouse veal special. We also had the caprese shrimp for app. I highly recommend Mel’s!

Do not overlook this little gem! You have to try it! We visited the Baseball Hall of Fame and while walking to Sam’s Pizzeria across the street, we were immediately deterred by a young girl smoking a cigarette and singing outside of the pizzeria and blocking the door. We walked down to the corner and remembered the reviews of Mel’s we’re pretty good. So glad we were deterred! Ambiance was so pretty, our server was so attentive, and the food was fantastic! We ordered the fried mozzarella and the sauce was delicious. Crispy fry on the mozzarella, too. The clam chowder was also amazing in flavor, consistency and the clams were plentiful, big and tender! Potatoes were big also! My son got the children’s macaroni and cheese which was still a large portion! We also loved that it was house made and not packaged Kraft. I ordered the adult macaroni & cheese, also so tasty and rich! My husband got the burger special. Probably the best beer cheese we’ve ever had and the burger was cooked perfectly. We live in Texas or else we’d make this spot a weekly thing!

It's definitely a place that is above a country town caffe! Cute corner with fast service and nice food. The food was both tasteful and appealing. Don't leave without trying their clam showder!

This is a great spot for food and drinks on the tiny strip that is downtown Cooperstown. Having just spent a week in a rough and tumble camp barracks with thirteen 12 year olds, perhaps my expectations were a bit low, but I was really blown away by the quality of the food and drinks here.

Host worked us in on a busy night without reservation. Service was excellent, food was fabulous and delivered promptly.

Amazing Scallops, Clam Chowder, and Sword Fish. All cooked to PERFECTION! Whoever was in the kitchen this Saturday night and was on Fish, you're totally awesome! Thank you for a perfect meal!
I can't wait to be back. Just awesome!

Great spot, right in the heart of Cooperstown. My wife and I have been multiple times and have always a great meal with exceptional service. (Our first daughter was born around lunch on a Tuesday, I didn't eat much that morning nor afternoon, afterwards. I ordered some dinner for pick up that night; and even though it was just a simple chicken sandwich... it was the absolute best chicken sandwich I have had in my entire life. I can't wait to go back and have another)

Mel's was absolutely amazing. Our dinner and cocktails were great. There is a casual vibe but a more upscale menu, which seems to fit Cooperstown perfectly. We will definitely go back!

Five stars all around. Service was quick and courteous, atmosphere was delightful, and the food was amazing. We had the jerk chicken and the bolognese, both highly recommended.

Service was excellent and the food was very good. The pesto garlic fries were the best! I wish we had Crabbies ginger beer in GA! Yum!!

Lovely cafe with a relaxed feel and comfy setting. Good burgers, but the Haddock Tacos were delicious! Friendly staff. Convenient location, we stopped after visiting The Farmers Museum!

Great food, very clean. Very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place! Every time we’re in town we go there.

Wife and I stopped in for a drink and a light lunch. We split a Turkey bacon wrap, which with the chipotle aioli, was fantastic. I had the delicious, albeit effeminate, Forbidden Apple cocktail; the Mrs. took my man card and had a spicy Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita.

Amazing! The veggie wrap is amazing and vegan. It’s great with the crumbles or with portabella mushroom! It has a phenomenal mango salsa. I added avocado and onions but I know it would be great without. Recently renovated, somewhat upscale dining. Lunch prices are very reasonable. We also got a side of the beets, yum!
The balsamic dressing has an Italian feel (so good) and the French fries were good.

Our waitress was terrific - thank you Maria ! We had table of 5 and a lot going on. Food was great ! Will return .

Wonderful experience. The mushroom udon had crazy flavor and the salmon was piled with mango on delicious rice noodles. The clam appetizer was served with amazing toasted bread. Would love to go back.

Alex was super accommodating, checking with her chef to make sure the vegan item from the dinner menu would be available during Sunday Brunch. It was! The Stuffed Avocado, sans queso fresco, was excellent! Great flavor and plentiful. The pineapple cilantro lime margarita was delicious. Classy-cozy-decor. Excellent service. Wish I could give them 10 stars!
