Came for Thanksgiving dinner. We both had the prix fixe and everything was fantastic. The details of each dish were not lost and the flavor profiles were festive without being over indulgent. Emma was our gracious host and very accommodating. Being our first time to Meridian it couldn’t have been more perfect. We’ll be back!

I have been coming to this restaurant for several years and have always loved it. This last year however there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of the food. Last night for example I ordered the chicken piccata special which was to come with kale and mashed potatoes. The dish was covered in over a cup of a heavy cream based sauce that made it so I couldn’t even differentiate the mashed potatoes from the cream. The kale was just heavily wilted and barely noticeable under the cream as well. Additionally I ordered the stone fruit Burrata salad which was a couple of teaspoons of finely chopped peaches and a serving of burrata cheese. It was so basic I couldn’t believe the price for the quality and lack of creativity. Lastly their clam chowder used to be so amazing…. It had incredible flavor and was a unique creamy brothy style with grilled bread that was not a heavy thick creamy version everyone else does. Now their signature dish is a thick salty creamy clam chowder you can get anywhere. They also used to serve it with a grilled bread and now their bread has even changed, it’s a soft smaller French bread it seems? Anyway; overall I’m sad to see the creative high quality food here going toward a cut the corners type of basic. The ambiance is still fantastic, the service is wonderful.

Food and ambiance were excellent. We had THE best oysters we have ever eaten . Truly loved the live jazz guitar player. Just wished he was there longer! Service was outstanding. Shawn (not sure if that’s the correct spelling) went above and beyond. First he was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local area, where the food (and wine) came from and how it was prepared. He consistently checked on us throughout the meal and also provided some very helpful advice on where to stop for the next leg of our road trip. Highly recommend.

The bar, host and waitress were all spectacular. Good service is that which make a dining experience wonderful. The restaurant is in keeping with today’s design, a bit sterile; true of so many restaurants now. The view is wonderful. The food was surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant. My ribeye was good, and had an unexpected wonderful taste. My wife enjoyed her scallops.

Food and ambience were good, restaurant may have been understaffed or server might have been having a bad day but forgot multiple things during our service. (Forgot what we ordered twice and had to come back and ask 10 and 15 minutes later, forgot the beverage and had to remove it from the bill after, forgot to bring share plates when asked, etc.) Despite apologizing and acknowledging their mistakes (which was appreciated), they didn’t offer anything to make up for it (no discount, no comped items)

The entire hotel staff just needs more training. It's not the staff's fault. But you walk up to the host stand, no one comes to greet you for several minutes. Because there is no host staff. It's just a server who will come over when they are free. Then they ask the stupid question "Can I help you? Come on, I'm here to eat, obviously. Menu is limited. Nothing local which is disappointing after watching the dory boats go out all day long to fish. This is a missed opportunity to highlight all of the local stuff fished, harvested and grown locally on the coast. Jacobsen's Sea Salt is just a few minutes up the road. Use it in your food. Restaurant was filled with flies. I mean there were maybe 10 flies on each table. Made it really unpleasant to eat your food while swatting them away off your face and table. Had to ask for more water, coffee, the check. They are just not attentive. It's just expensive for the staff not to be on their A Game and serve better food.
