i went to mellinghus twice for dinners and really enjoyed the food and wine, as well as ambiance…read more the restaurant is small and cozy, with nice candlelight feel. there are nice pillows and plants and windowsills that make it all seem very homelike. we did have a little trouble at first when our reservation was for 5 instead of 4, and one waiter did not want to let us sit. luckily the waitress did find a place for us to sit and worked with us to accommodate.
the cheese and sausage platter was amazing, served on 3 tiers with jellies, pickles, capers, and fruits with lots of varieties. we also got a large salad lightly dressed with grapes that was refreshing to have on the side. the flatbread pizzas are also excellent, and i had expected more of a torte but was happy to have it be so light and crispy crust. the first time the toppings were more simple with cheese and onions, and the second we got one with parma ham that was really nice. i also loved the snails, served warm with butter.
the entree dinners also seemed good, the chicken was very moist and while i didn't try the schnitzel it seemed like everyone at the table enjoyed it as well.
the wine selection is also excellent, but i would recommend that the waiters know more about the types of wines and nuances, as when i asked questions about if the riesling was dry or sweet there was some uncertainty on which had each flavor profile.
