    Food was alright. Service was great. It was so loud couldn’t hear ourselves at the table. Open door concept. Tables very close together.

    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.

I hope you make a trip back to let us craft you some more cocktails and enjoy your experience with you. -The Salted Melon Team

    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.
