The Meridian has a neighborhood feel but with class. The ambiance is good for celebratory dinners for a group or an intimate dinner for two. You can expect to be attended to. The reception is warm. And you feel safe in the space and not rushed. Catlin was our server and she was exceptional! What I enjoy most is if you have special dietary needs, they listen and accommodate as best they can, which in my experience has proven to be above my expectations. I would recommend The Meridian to my friends.

The food was very good. Service was very good. Not much atmosphere in this restaurant. Some very quiet music. Parking lot is very tight. Was forced to use their valet parker even though I could have parked myself. I found that very annoying. The restaurant staff is smug. Their food is good but it is not good enough to warrant this level of smugness. I will choose to go elsewhere in the future.

Our server was warm, friendly, and efficient. The menu is limited and a bit overpriced. The cocktail and wine list is impressive. The open dining room space could use a little more intimacy in the form of half walls and some greenery. I loved the lighting and the music was nostalgic.

I’ve had a more satisfying meal at Shake Shack. My dinner consisted of an embarrassing example of a Pork Chop. 95% bone and gristle. Two bites and I sent it back. All that for $41.

The presentation was ok and the food was fair. The bar has no mocktails and was “wing’n it”. The menu felt that way, too.
