Hi Foodies, I am writing to share a wonderful dining experience I recently had at Melange on Sycamore. The evening was truly exceptional, starting with the sophisticated, modern atmosphere styled in a palette of warm charcoal, black, and ivory. The charming touches of jazz featured in the wallpaper and photography, combined with a warm and inviting welcome from the staff, made the experience feel as comfortable as dining at a friend's home. The bar was also beautifully appointed and impressively stocked with top-of-the-line spirits and wines. For our meal, we chose to sit on the covered patio, which offered a unique and elevated outdoor dining setting. As daylight faded into dusk, the patio's ambiance became just as inviting as the interior. The food and drinks were equally impressive. We started with a Creole Garden Margarita that had the perfect level of heat, followed by a crab cheesecake with a rich, savory flavor. For the main course, I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled barramundi topped with lump crabmeat, while my friend's duck gumbo in a spicy stew was equally delicious. The entire experience was amazing, combining a beautiful atmosphere and great food with excellent company. I highly recommend visiting Melange on Sycamore if you are looking for a fantastic dining environment and superior service. read more

Warning: Think twice before buying gift cards. If a business closes, your gift card may become worthless. Many customers, including me, lost hundreds of dollars when the Brick in Newtown closed. The company kept the money, while customers were left with unusable gift cards. I hope this encourages people to be cautious when purchasing gift cards and to use them sooner rather than later. read more

Here for our first visit. The chef was at Rocco's which is now closed so we figured since we always liked Rocco's we would check this new place out. Ambiance is basically the old sycamore grill or il sol. But much more up class cloth napkins and tablecloths. We like that. Also, touted as southern Louisiana/ Italian. ?! We sat at the bar which we usually prefer. Our barkeep was wonderful. She made a couple of nice martini's and was cheerful and simpatico. We got a couple of appetizers and shared. I loved the fried oysters they were deep fried. The crab cheesecake was ok my wife liked it I was not overly impressed there was a lot of crab in there however. We ordered a bottle of Cederberg SA Chenin Blanc. Very nice. For our mains we got shrimp grits and a barramundi. My fish was outstanding. Perfectly cooked with obvious grill markings and wonderful flavor. My wife loved her shrimp dish. Except there were shells on the shrimp. Why can't high endy places remove the shells before serving? An unforced error. Total $239. With tip. We will return. Mark & Nancy. read more

See all

Went for lunch with two friends to celebrate my "Birthday week." I'd been wanting to try the Crabmeat Cheesecake (I know it sounds weird, but it's savory, not sweet, and it's delicious) since they opened. Food is amazing. Appetizers, main courses and desserts were perfect. Service was exceptional. Our waitress went above and beyond. read more

From the moment we walked in, we loved the vibe, the service and attention to our needs and enjoyment were only exceeded by the food itself!

Me and my Husband Dined here Last night.. Absolutely Amazing From the Staff to the chef. The food is absolutely delicious. This is a must try restaurant. Has to be rated one of the Best in Pa.. I can't wait to revisit.. The Ambience was impeccable... read more

Melange On Sycamore - Strawberry cocktail... Amazing - Italian Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

2-hour lunch on a Tuesday, only 11 patrons the whole time. Joe is a good chef and the food we had (4of us) was pretty good but expensive. Glaringly, only about 8-9 beers listed $10-12 per beer. Bottles only, owner claimed that "never have tap beer, it is dirty and labor intensive". The beer list had only 1 domestic: Ultra; the rest were foreign or craft. The martini pour was generous but $18. Menu is limited and expensive plus the owner is not very friendly. read more

Delicious food, impeccable service, and great ambiance. Been to Melange four times since they opened in April, and will definitely keep coming back! read more

We tried Melange last night - after all the hype here are my thoughts... The ambiance and friendliness of the staff is welcoming and pleasant. We had the crabmeat cheesecake that everyone raves about - it was just ok. It was more like a crab quiche. I had the shrimp and grits which was very good. But my husband had the Seafood Jumbalaia and was disappointed because it was dry, they include all the shells in the dish which was unnecessary. Tons and tons of rice but very dry. We had the bananas foster for desert which was excellent and the best part of the meal. But after two beers and one glass of Prosecco plus tip we were at just under $200 for the meal. Those are NYC prices so I suspect they will need to scale back their pricing to survive. Beautiful building and easy parking but don't think we'll be back for a while. read more

This was our second visit to Melange as my husband's choice for Father's Day and I'm glad that he made that choice. As usual the chef did not disappoint. The bean and sausage soup was delicious that my husband ate. I had a mixed green salad with dried fruit, candied nuts and blue cheese which was excellent. My daughter had the lobster bisque and she was happy with the chunks of seafood in the bisque. Our Dinner entrees were the Fra Diablo, Fruiti de Mar and the Glazed Pork Chop, all of which were awesome. But my absolute favorite was the Kahlua cake for dessert. Shout out to Lauren who was our server for our first and second visit. She is the best!! read more

Outstanding experience! Celebrated a family birthday there last night and it was just perfection , from the welcoming staff to the final birthday dessert. Malange is an amazing addition to the Newtown restaurant scene which is already pretty competitive . Congratulations to the Chef who pulls everything off to perfection ..from a steak to fall off the bone short ribs and jambalaya . There is real restaurant know how going on here on here from a relaxed flow to the cocktails and the little touches that enhance the table without being asked for . Our crew loves trying new places but this one will become a regular .Highly recommend !!! read more

As customers of Chef Brown's Cherry Hill restaurant, Melange, we were thrilled to see he opened a place in Newtown( we now live in Pa). The menu contained some of our favorites including the Smoked Crab Bisque(decadent and delicious), fried oysters and Jambalaya. My husband also enjoyed the scallops on a bed of corn and peppers. The new place is decorated beautifully and has an excellent drink menu. Our servers, Lauren and Emilio were very informative as well as warm And friendly. A little pricey but well worth it! Can't wait to return ! read more

We are foodies and have been to all the highly rated spots in eastern Pa. All we can say is WOW. The menu is extremely interesting, crab cheesecake amazing, crispy chicken livers superb, jambalaya really good even the drinks were out of this world. We will definitely be back again and again. Chef Joe Brown is a master. read more

Service was great the food was really good!!! Erica the Manager was so nice and made sure we were satisfied with everything.

We had a delicious dinner at Melange on Sycamore. We were lucky enough to be seated outside on a perfect evening. We started with Crab Cheesecake and Fried Oysters which were both unique and tasty. Dinner was Shrimp and Grits, Seafood Jambalaya, Scallops, and Seafood Salad. All four of us were delighted with our entrees. We also had coconut gelato for dessert which was very flavorful and creamy. Erica the manager was extremely hospitable and checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our experience. We saw the chef making rounds as well. We will definitely be back! read more

Our party of 4 had an exquisite dining experience at Melange. We were immediately greeted and seated for our reservation. Our waiter was kind enough to provide the dinner specials while we waited for our friends to join us. 3 of us ordered wine and 1 ordered the smoked New Orleans Old Fashioned. All of the drinks were very good. We started with the caprese flat bread. It was served baked perfect and warm with delicious tomatoes and mozzarella. I opted for the pork chop which was outstanding, perfectly cooked and glazed with a maple & ginger sauce that was a perfect combination of sweet and savory. My wife had shrimp & grits which she loved, our party had duck gumbo & the salmon special which was served on a bed of home made fettucine, both elicited raves. We finished with desserts of tiramisu, sweet potato cannoli & creme brulee, all of which were excellent. The room was a bit noisy, but the manager assured us they are actively looking for ways to improve the acoustics. Overall we were extremely impressed. Chef Brown's deft hand at flavor profile composition was evident throughout the meal and we appreciate the great care with which we were treated. We will definitely be back! read more
