ABOUT US
Méli is a Greek(ish) restaurant serving mezze, wine and cocktails in a vibrant, airy space nestled within The Silva Apartments' lobby in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. Méli is a "club" that anyone can join by simply buying a bottle of house wine or n/a beverage for $25. The profits from this purchase is then donated by Méli to 10 community partners. Inspired by Greek mezze cafés, our name, "Meli," means both "member" and "honey" in Greek, symbolizing the warmth and sweetness we show our guests and each other.We're women-owned + operated, and deeply committed to community engagement in our neighborhood. Giving back is part of our business model. To navigate the DC zoning of our restaurant, we've created a foundation that donates the proceeds of its memberships to AdMo non-profit community partners. We work collectively, and we value integrity and grace to bring change to the hospitality industry.We add a 22% service charge to pay a higher hourly wage to our hourly team members. The 22% allows us to create equality and stability in our industry. We aim to ensure fair, equitable wages and benefits for hourly team members. Any gratuity added is distributed among all hourly dining room and kitchen team members who help create your dining experience.We have a zero-tolerance policy for drinking alcohol while at work, and for sexual harassment.

PRESS

Named one of Washingtonian's 100 Very Best Restaurants of 2024, Meli is a place to explore wine from an all Greek list full of fun and approachable descriptions – think "grown-up Dr. Pepper" and "if Pinot Grigio had personality". Membership is not required for first time guests.COMPENSATION
