Melvyn's Restaurant, located right on the premises of the legendary Ingleside Inn, is elegantly upbeat with a fully restored 1895 carved oak and mahogany bar. With its numerous antiques, waiters in linen jackets and photographs from long ago, dining at Melvyn's is truly a unique experience. Restaurant writers have praised the food as "beyond comparison" and you owe it to yourself to sample delicacies such as Veal Ingleside and more, including the finest wines from Melvyn's two world-class wine cellars. Another of the most enjoyable aspects of Melvyn's is simply people watching, to see just which famous celebrities may show up. And in the lounge, enjoy dancing and entertainment nightly!
