What a wonderful intimate setting. My wife and I had a blast. Great wine list, the food was lovely. Generous portion size on Mussels appetizer. The Duck was beautifully cooked and the braised Pork Cheeks were pull apart tender. Nice light Mouse for dessert. Recommend!!!!

Our first visit (and most certainly not our last) impressed us with fresh ingredients, an imaginative menu, and beautiful presentation. Julian was an attentive and knowledgeable server, and we can’t wait to return for the Spring menu.

Went to the Meridian on a Thursday night at 7P for a special occasion with my wife. She was in the mood for steak, and the Meridian sources their steaks from the nearby Kincaid's Meat Market. People tend to dine at the Meridian early as it attracts an older crowd. That's good for us because the dining room empties out when we are ready to eat our main course. The generously sized ribeye was excellent and mashed potatoes very smooth and creamy. I love the Duck, which doesn't resemble poultry at all, more like beef/pork. The staff is very experienced and attentive, but not overly so. As the dining room was empty when we were finishing, we had a lovely chat with our server, Sarah. It was a memorable way to celebrate a special occasion.

Great food, service and ambience. I had salmon and it was perfectly cooked. Our group also had the always favorite boar bolognese and the pork cheeks. Everyone loved their meal and we topped it off with the delicious coffee and donuts dessert.
