Mel's Place Bar & Bistro - 2A Kuo Chuan Ave

I be visiting the coming month. May I know if I cycle there, can I lock my bicycle inside the car park or bring into the outdoor sitting area? I will leave a proper review, looking forward to the food!

This place is either a hit or a missed place. We frequent this place on a regularly and always enjoy the food and the drinks which cause us to revisit. However this time was the worse, first of all, service standard was not there ( I can accept average service if the place was crowded or under staff, but there was less than 7 tables outdoors and only 1 table occupied indoor and we visited from 6.40pm to 10.30pm), and there was more than enough service staffs around. Secondly, we ordered beer, not just 1 or 2 pint but over 10 pints for 3 people. To our horror, the beer was flat, no taste for the beer. We ask for exchange and the manager insisted the beer is from a new barrel. When he replaced the beer, it tasted the same. So we exchange to another type of beer. Being a beer garden place, beer is your staple and quality must be maintained. It is understandable if the establishment want to save money but why must it be at the expense of paying customer. Lastly is the food, we eaten before the food there multiple times and already know the normal standard of the food. However the meat of the lamb was already bad, the cut tasted funny on every bite. Maybe we are just super unlucky on the day we visited but food and service quality should not differ by so much specially if you are running a service based establishment. It can really ruin your entire night.

Enjoyed a good dinner here during Valentines. Though the place was too crowded - managed to get a good seating in the outdoor gardens beside the fountain. Food was good, although it did take some time to get our order served - understandably so. The main highlight was indeed the outdoor seating which was very well lit during the night.

Lovely place with a chillax atmosphere and delicious food. Oysters are super fresh and creamy. Yummy Pork tomahawk and fried chicken wings. Looking forward to trying other items in the menu.

I have always walked pass this place but was never interested to walk in since it looked very dark from the outside, but recently they changed the light and the atmosphere looked so much nicer so gave ot a try. Went on a Friday night with no reservation, but mamaged to get a table without waiting. The couple after us had to wait, so I think we were lucky. The place was full inside and outside. Staff were attentative, and even helped to pour our beer from the tower we ordered. Food was a fusion of Asian and Western, and was surprisingly nice for a casual place like this. The portion was big and matching the priceas well. Overall a very nice casual place with nice atmosphere :)

If you like to come to this place. You need to wear a tag in this restaurant because safe distancing officer will asked the manager how you differentiated your customer vaccinated status. Its my first time visiting a restaurant that I'm asked to wear a tag when I'm all doll up for the occassion. Sorry not for me. Better to go somewhere else with better wine and vaccinated checks. Why imposed on the customer incomvience due to your inefficiency in checking your customer vaccinated status Updated Mgmt replied to my review on my IG and Google review For IG Pls see image.

Nice place to hang back and enjoy a couple of beers. The outdoor garden is a really cosy and relaxing space to chill out if you're ok with a bit of traffic noise once in a while.

At first I thought it was a nice place for a drink but the food were delicious too and this is out of my expectation. The taste of each dish was excellent and straight to the point where I don't see most restaurant able to do that. Thank you to the chef's and Well done!
