Welcome to Méli
Méli means two things in Greek—honey and members. We’re a place to enjoy delicious wine, mezze, and delicacies from Greece, while supporting community and connection.
Méli is a Greek(ish) restaurant within The Silva Apartments' lobby. Because of our location inside a residence, we could not be a public restaurant. So we created a private one where, for a small membership fee, you can dine at with us. Instead of taking the membership fees as profit, we donate it directly back to the community.
Some things to know:
Try us out the first time without any fee. If you like us, then join for $25 a year
Catering and takeout do not require membership. Order away!
Members can bring a guest with them to dine
The $25 donation goes to 10 community partners within walking distance of Méli
