"Update: Willy B?s reversed the charges to our credit card without any prompting or me asking. I appreciate them taking care of that. ????? I would rate the food but we walked out empty-handed. Instead I?ll rate my experience: We are not from Jackson, but we were here visiting our daughter, son-in-law, and their new baby. We placed an online order at 3:45pm on Sunday for pickup that same day at 5:45pm. The plan was to bring the new family a nice dinner and have a visit with them. They asked us to be there at 6:00 to coordinate with our granddaughter?s feeding and sleep schedule. When we arrived on site the staff appeared as if they weren?t expecting us. A few minutes later they told us our order was in the kitchen and would be out shortly. The order was three blue plates, one seafood basket and two appetizers, totaling around $120. As we waited, another person who was also waiting for their carry-out order was approached by one of the staff. They came and apologized to the other patron as it appeared they had given their food to someone else and they were going to have to remake it. I thought ?That sucks, but nice of them to own it.? I was also impressed with the speed in which they remade the order. I believe they even gave them free deserts. We continued to wait, watching the person get their re-make, as well as seven other carry-out customers come and go. We also watched at least two parties come, dine in, and leave. We waited patiently as the staff continued to approach us, saying our order was in the kitchen. One of the staff even offered the excuse that sometimes online orders don?t make it in. Despite that, my credit card showed a hold for the charge so I felt that a weak excuse at best. I was also struck that, despite an apology to the other patron who?s food was released to the wrong customer, we simply were told the same thing over and over, ?it?s in the kitchen.? At 7:00pm, after having waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes, we simply got up and wa"

"Always loved this place but have to say this experience was disappointing, considering the price range. The service was excellent as usual and it is one of the reasons I like Melvin’s. As for the food Bread at the price level for the restaurant, why are you charging for the bread? Also the Maitre d’hotel butter seemed to be just butter. Where this free as in most restaurants it would not have warranted a comment. Cesar Salad had obviously been plated hours ahead of time as the chlorophyll from the Romain lettuce had leached into the dressing and was stuck to the plate. Shrimp Cocktail the shrimp tasted old and watery. French Onion Soup truly disappointing. It was excessively sweet, making it unpalatable. I asked what had been done to make it so and the answer was, they add brown sugar to get the caramelization look. It is the only soup on the menu, do it right and in the classical tradition. Probably they need to also drop the addition of leeks. It is very easy to caramelize onions, butter and medium heat and patience. Steelhead Trout good taste, nicely presented and enjoyable. Steak Diane classically made with New York strip steak, this wasn’t. The meat was tender and cooked to temperature. The sauce prepared and flambé at table side was acceptable, perhaps a little strong on the garlic and shallots but all round acceptable flavor. Loaded Baked Potato nicely done and flavorful. Cherries Jubilee nicely done, table side. This was a plus dinner it did not meet up to the price nor the expectations and previous experiences of this restaurant. We will probably not return"
