Melvyn's at the Ingleside Inn





We've been meaning to get to Melvyn's and it definitely confirms its reputation as a time warp. The food was actually rather good and for lunch we had a filet mignon with peppercorn sauce on a chanterelle mushroom. Ancient waiters in white linen jackets that filled water glasses almost the moment you drank from them. One thing I did like is they didn't take Jim's plate away until I was finished...amazing how the opposite happens in the best restaurants. Entertainment nightly and a big bar...can just picture the ancient barflys who frequent this place at night. We came for lunch.
