It's called Oasis Now

This place used to be called Rotana. They served Sheesha after 6 pm. It was a good place to hang out for drinks and Sheesha. The food was decent and reasonably priced.It was sold to two ladies who named it Melange and renovated it, painting it white. It didn't do so well, so they sold it back to the guys who owned Rotana, now under the name Oasis restaurant.If you are looking for a place to... more

Only go there as last resort really last resort. Food questionable, service so so. They appear not to know the name of restaurant - menu says Oasis, bill says Melange, credit card receipt says Rotana.

Decent Lunch

Restaurant was clean and comfortable. Service wasn't amazing, but food and prices were good.They offer a "Build your own" burger for $8 that comes with a big list of free toppings.I will be back

Wish I had read reviews prior to entering, cook quit yesterday, waited 30 mins for beef dip, very very poor wait time. Food was hot and tasty, would have had a better time with take out.

What a joke

Tried going to Melange for dinner with a friend Friday and had one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We got in and ordered a beer...then were told that their taps weren't working. After 40 minutes the bartender finally came back to take our orders...then walked away as soon as we ordered our aps, no asking if we wanted another drink (after all it had been 40 minutes) or taking our... more

Great food! Nice ambiance! Friendly staff.. come try it out! you wouldn't regret it! :)

Terrible, the worst

Absolutely low grade junk; one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. I was embarassed to have brought my wife and another couple to this place. Supposed best burgers downtown were frozen patties with no good qualities; the steak was actually the skinniest piece of beef I've ever seen served (so forget choosing how you want it cooked - see my photo, the steak is skinnier than the fries);... more

Terrible - Never Again

Attempted to have lunch here recently. The very loud live folk singer should have been the first clue. Live entertainment at lunch? Mid-week? Really? How would one carry on a business conversation over all that noise? I asked what white wines they had by the glass, and this clearly threw our iPad toting waiter for a loop. Upon admitting he knew nothing about wine, he went to the bar to seek... more

Burger Lounge in Downtown

As a place to hang out, Melange Restaurant is an okay spot. Some decent appetizers and a spacious restaurant makes it comfortable enough to enjoy, and on certain nights there's even live entertainment.Th menu itself is an interesting concept. Instead of having everything written down, the servers prefer to tell you about what they have based on the season and what's available. The appetizers... more

never never again!

This has to be by far the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. To start off I had made reservations for a group of 20 people on a sat eve. on the previous tues. Once arrived, the table was set for about 15 people, which meant that a few members of the party had to be seated at a completely seperate table as they could not be accomodated to sit with the rest of the group. when asked to... more

2 words..... Incredible. Mmmmm

Entertaining lunch

Waiter was awesome very entertaining. Food was good but nothing exceptional for the price. Live music for background music nothing to loud.

Not that impressed. The floor had not been fully cleaned since last night. Not a good start. All three of us ordered burgers, and all three were missing condiments. The burger patty was good, but on my burger, the condiments were not evenly distributed. Some bites were great, some were lacking the full flavor. Too many little problems for me to come back.

Awesome food, great service and very attractive staff!

I went to Melange a couple of days ago, after running into a friend of mine that recommended it. I have to say that I was very impressed with the layout of the place. Beautiful artwork hangs on the walls, and the bar, which is right in the middle of the place, really draws everything in together. The food was really amazing. I have to say some of the best french fries I have ever had, and my... more

Yummy Burger!!!!

Build a burger concept is both intimidating and interesting. Looking at the checklist of inclusions - variety of vegetables and sauces can really be overwhelming.I then requested the server to have the Chef build a burger for me - it is easier that way. Lo and behold, the Chef's special burger turned out to be awesome!!!!!!I raved about the burger to friends and went back a couple of times now.... more

great potential, great start

although there have been mixed reviews, both positive and negative.. i can say i'll believe the positive ones more. because in my own experience dining in Melange, I had a very pleasant lunch. I'll come there everytime if I could. service was great and i could bet that was the best meal I have ever had. Simple, straight up. tasty.. perfect.

Ambitious Menu. Great Staff. Needs More Work.

Went here for lunch with some friends. Ordered the Fontina Grilled Cheese sandwich with a side of Tossed Salad. Staff was attentive, friendly and personable, and the food was ... decent. Unfortunately, with something as simple as grilled cheese and its respective price, I was missing that 'WOW' factor. I really wanted to be blown away... I think Melange restaurant has a lot of potential, and... more

The food is fantastic. The Dim Sum is great. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Owners and staff are very personable and friendly. Enjoyed everything about Melange. Be sure to try it, you'll love it.

Read the reviews and decided to give it a try...wish I hadn't. Menu is over ambitious and does not give you any indication as to what is in the dish. A for effort as they tried very hard but the quality of food is like a recent culinary graduate that is in over their head! Cast iron stomach required.

A good start...

I ate there yesterday for lunch and it was a great experience overall. The first thing you notice is the layout. The centerpiece is the bar which creates a focal point for the rest of the place. Ambient outdoor light floods in from the massively windowed walls.I started out with a selection of their dim sum which they bring around. A card is put at your table and they mark down how many you... more
