    Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends and the experience felt rushed by our waitress. We really enjoyed the brunch cocktails particularly the BYO and would’ve stayed longer.

    The ONLY thing that could make it better is if they served sweet tea. It’s such a small thing but at a southern owned restaurant it is a simple addition.
    The Salted Melon Market & EateryResponded on April 11, 2025
    Hello Christi! I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit overall! We do actually have the option of sweet tea, we have a bottled version in the market and we have simple syrup we add to the iced tea to make you fresh sweet tea! We do this to cater to the levels of sweetness each guests may enjoy. We can put the simple syrup on the side so you can add as much or as little as you'd like. Somewhat of a build your own sweet tea. I do apologize if this was not offered to you and we'd love to let you try it next time your in!

    If I make a reservation, the last place I want/expect to be sat is at the host stand/entrance. Kinda ruined the atmosphere for me. Blended noise and commotion from the host stand and market area impeded my party’s conversation.
    The Salted Melon Market & EateryResponded on April 6, 2025
    Hello Clay, I'm sorry to hear you were unhappy with the seating arrangement. Here at The Salted Melon we do try our best to accommodate to each guest and their wants/needs. We are always more than happy to arrange specific seating for parties if requested. We'd love to see you again and you can ask the host in person or make a note on OpenTable for the specific area of the restaurant you'd like to be sat and we will happily accommodate your needs.

    Overall, the food was great! They were out of wonton chips so that was unfortunate. We split the whipped ricotta, brussel sprouts, and truffle fries. All were amazing. However, our waitress wouldn’t split our apps between each other and said it was “too much work” to do so. They had a live singer with a guitar and he was amazing! The bathroom has two stalls and all night, one stall was out of toilet tissue despite us telling the hostess about it.
    The Salted Melon Market & EateryResponded on April 4, 2025
    Hello Malia! Thank you very much for your feedback on the night. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience over all however I am also sorry that it did not go as perfect as it should have. Here at The Salted Melon we strive to have excellent customer service in all areas of the store. Thank you for your transparent feedback that I can use to go and fix the areas we lacked in.

    Noise level was so loud we could not talk over the table two tables away and it ruined our meal. My avocado toast was difficult to even cut with a knife and was very average.
    The Salted Melon Market & EateryResponded on April 6, 2025
    Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write. I wanted to let you know how sorry we are for the surrounding noise from other tables and that the food was not up to par. Here at The Salted Melon, we pride ourselves on our excellent service and delicious food, and in this instance, we clearly dropped the ball. Thank you for the feedback so going forward we can try our best to fix the areas we may have lacked in! Gratefully yours, The Salted Melon
