Lunch with Jeanette Part 3

Thanks, Jeanette for the "suggestion." I had not been to Melos in years. I'm glad I had a chance to try it again and taste some things I wouldn't have ordered on my own.

I'll be back for another lunch soon. I like the menu, food, service, and cleanliness. They even offer a full bar, that was probably the biggest surprise of all.

Do you have another restaurant you can recommend?

(yesterday you saw what Jeanette ordered this is my lunch)

1st Course... Pint Size Bloody Mary artfully prepared with a lime wedge, carrot, celery, cucumber, pepperchini's pepper, and two queen size green olives. Very tasty about $9.50

2nd Course... Caesar salad served with fresh french bread and butter. The lettuce was crisp the cheese plentiful but for my tastes a little underdressed, not enough to ask for more dressing.

3rd Course... Three items personal size pizza. The crust was good and cooked perfectly. I like the fact that I was able to order three toppings. I couldn't taste the sauce but I still give it 4 1/2 stars (I really liked the crust. Do they really toss this? I'll have to watch next time!), with the salad about $11 during @ lunch.

When you have lunch with Jeanette Bates Tiscareno expect her to have some http://primevintagerealty.com/ business to take care of. Eating lunch at Melo's Pizza & Pasta, Brentwood.

Have you eaten here before? What's your favorite meal?
