Upon arrival it took a few minutes before the hostess arrived to greet us to our seats. This visit was our second time dining at the Peacock Room. Our first dining experience was brunch. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is well decorated. Felt like Christmas. I wished the dinner menu had more food options, but overall great experience and delicious food and cocktails.

First visit, so we tried the Happy Hour. Did not disappoint as the food and our server, Ms E were the best! We chose the low country boil along with grilled and raw oysters. The oysters 🦪 were the biggest and tastiest I have ever had and only $6 for 6! Ordered another round and washed it all down with a cold draft. Best deal in town! Ms E was fantastic as was the rest of the staff. I had a very good and interesting conversation with the owner. Can’t recommend highly enough, a must!

We had an amazing experience at Meril. The staff and service were impeccable. The flavor profiles of the dishes were excellent. Strongly suggest Mexican street corn, meatballs, and banana cream pie. We highly recommend dining at Meril.
