    The food was great. I was a party of 3 for brunch. 2 of us had the burger. The other person had a flatbread. While the was good, all of it did not come out at the same time. This wasn't a deal breaker, but it was a bit strange to get a burger without the order of fries, which was a side order and we could've done with one order vs. 2. So, we had too much. The servers were good. Overall, this was a good visit. One of the things I like about Meril's is that you can have a table of 8 in a round table. There were a few of them there, which may have impacted the slower than usual service.

    A big plus from the start was when we were able to find a parking spot on the street right in front of the restaurant! (There’s no valet, and it’s not very safe when you have to park blocks away and walk to the restaurant.). The service was great. The atmosphere was fun. Our food was great. Price was reasonable. No complaints!

    The service and food was outstanding. I traveled with my daughter for my “traveling into 50” goal. This was my splurge meal in New Orleans and I was not disappointed! We both had the ribeye and then split the fries (plenty of food). Drinks were delicious and the dessert was out of this world. I decided to eat as many bread puddings as I could this trip and this was by far my favorite!

    We ordered a wide variety of small plates for the four of us. BBQ shrimp was excellent with the pocket bread as recommended by our server… for the sauce. Very little if any was left on the plates or bowls.
