Tasty delicious surprisingly fresh fast : fabulous food. The hummus lamb and pine nuts is my weekly fav.

Over the years I have been to Melt several times. Based on previous positive visits I took my family back for a special occasion. The location is amazing and the interior is lovely. The value just isn't there, the food is 'ok', heavy on price and light on key toppings. I ordered the prawn pizza, there was one prawn that had been hand torn into small pieces and scattered over the pizza. On this day it cost $29 for this pizza. Lucky view was nice tho. read more

Melt Henley - Pizza Near Me - Henley Beach, SA

The view is 5 start the service is S L o W. We went in there on a Thursday afternoon ready for some pizza and drink and the wait was long. Cool location and decent menu but the service is not up to par. read more

Melt Henley - Patio view - Pizza Near Me - Henley Beach, SA

Awful service, forgot our food, too busy for the customer. If you want pizza go across the road to Seamore's.

Reading some previous reviews still decided to try out this slick and stylish establishment on the water front at Henley square. From the moment we stepped in the vibe was amazing and very welcoming the waitress was perfect so accommodating. Now the food ordered four pizzas and all perfectly done with thin crispy crust definitely something if haven't been before worth a go read more

It's always difficult to review when you experience an 'aspect' of a business and typically that may be cause for a complaint but it is what it is - I don't need to eat my way through the entire menu nor waste a heap of money to procure a better service in order to judge better. Melt is becoming known for good pizza in Adelaide and Henley is it's latest addition, now totaling 3 restaurants. But...they have very large shoes to fill. They have taken over the former Evida location which had become somewhat of an institution at Henley Beach. Sure, people complained about Evida as well, especially when busy, but their service was great and they were very accommodating - to everyone. What went right on our visit? Melt looks great. It's white and wood, fresh and lovely, ropes and pavers, sun and suntanned people. Long open bar/counter, spacious tables, great décor, good inside and outside space. You want to go in! What didn't...? Young energetic staff but lacking personality and friendliness, although our waitress was better than the rest of the crew. A friend recently beat me to it and remarked a level of snobbery had been added with Melt and I thought the same. Shame. Our group was a large cycling club, always a challenge for newbies, but certainly one to consider carefully - we have money to spend, we drink a lot of coffee and we talk a lot. The male waiter who initially greeted us informed us they were "not a caffe" but a "restaurant" and I wish I had heard the entire conversation as to why that explanation was necessary. Perhaps because when asked about the smaller generally consumed items like muffins and croissants and eggs/bacon rolls he explained none were available. He also advised bikes could not be parked against the building anywhere making our visit even more difficult. It was obvious they never considered cyclists would be dropping in which, given their location and likely windfall, is certainly a shame. He also informed us the bill could not be split but the waitress went against that and advised we could in fact pay separately after taking our coffee orders. No one ordered food as there was nothing on the menu that would be considered a snack and a breakfast pizza seemed a little much at the time. Two small bottles of warm water were brought out with enough glasses for all but not replenished when quickly emptied. It's the little things I guess - it's summer, bring us some cool water. An order for a large iced coffee was accepted, with an explanation it would be in a tall glass, but a small one came out, with a further explanation they only do one size (?). It wasn't a warm welcome and it wasn't a warm service. We felt our mere presence at Melt whilst a number of cyclists passed by and looked at us was unfair, because we were bringing future customers to Melt, and because those same cyclists would be disappointed. read more

The staff here have appalling manners. They were yelling at us and wanted to argue with us. We ordered 1 pizza to share and were questioned rudely if that was all. It was 4pm so we just wanted a snack. There was only 1 other table in the reataurant. We were also rushed out as there was a whole "reservation" later. We were asked to leave 20 mins prior to this reservation time. We asked another customer if they also had to leave and they weren't asked to. When the waitress saw this, she asked how dare we ask other customers then quickly said the reservation was for another 30 minutes later! Clearly there was no reservation yet she wanted us to leave despite doing nothing wrong. She was being absolutely foul since when we entered the restaurant. I do not think the staff here gets any customer service training at all. My friend and I both had a very poor experience with their service. I have never experienced something like this in my life. Looking through the reviews, I can now see why there are so many poor reviews regarding service. I should have checked this before coming! Tables were very dirty. Pizza was small and tasted mediocre at best. There are nicer looking restaurants with better service and food around that area. We will not recommend this place to anyone at all and will never return. Very disappointed! read more

Surely I misheard the host when he told the seater to take these "old ladies" to table whatever it was. My companion thought he might have said "these lovelies." In any event, if you are over 35, I think one is not made to feel particularly welcome (or will be relegated to the back with the children, see below). We were taken to a table at the back of the restaurant next to a family with many screaming children. We said, uh, no, this will not work. We told the seater that when we made our reservation we had requested one of the many seats at the long counter facing the beach--all of which were empty. This person (a young man and to be fair perhaps new to the restaurant business and only doing what he was told, but his manner left much to be desired) told us that they were all reserved--it was simply not possible for us to sit there. After some back and forth we were seated at the bar in the front of the restaurant. We set about ordering lunch. After some persuading, my companion was finally able to obtain her can of Coke (initially the bartender was quite insistent that the beverage arrive poured in a glass, but that was not how she wanted it). To eat: green beans in oil and chili, pretty good; a rocket, goat cheese and pear salad, also good and fried chicken wings--only fair. We were there for about an hour. Nary a soul arrived to sit at the lonely counter facing the beach. As we were leaving, I pointed this out to the boy who seated us, saying we would have eaten and gone, having happily sat where we wanted. He rudely said all the seats were spoken for and consulted his boss. I pointed out same to him--he said he never spoken to us before, which was not true. I reminded him of his original plan for us and the noisy kids (he said he could not be responsible for the other restaurant guests, which was strange as I was in no way blaming him for them, I just didn't want to sit by them) and reiterated that there was nothing he could have done as the seats were reserved (for the phantom diners). What a way to run a restaurant. I will never return and I suggest that you take your business elsewhere in a town with lots of good places to eat. read more

Disappointing. Firstly they never answer the phone and if told to press 1, the mailbox is full. How to make a booking then? The guy on the door with the iPad is rude and needs to be replaced. Power has gone to his head. I love the food but will be eating at one of the other Melts in future. read more

Wanted to try Melt at Henley as we love the one on Waymouth Street in the City. I booked online and when we showed up they didn't have our reservation even though I had an email to confirm it which I pointed out to them. Lucky we were having an early dinner so tables were available. Once seated we waited around 15 minutes to be asked if we wanted a drink. We then waited another 20 minutes to receive our drinks. Our food came out before the drinks which is completely unacceptable. 35 minutes to receive a drink is terrible service. The food was yummy as always and that is the only thing that saves them from 1 star. They need to increase front of house staff and teach them better customer service. The views are lovely but that does not make up for the lack of service. All the tables around us experienced this same problem, no drinks received before the food came out. I love Melt but this one in Henley needs to improve to get people coming back for a second visit. Next time we will stick to Waymouth Street. read more
