Ambrosia was founded on the principle that the best food - and the best times of our lives - begin with love. In the Pizzi family kitchen in Liguria, Italy, the dinner table was a treasured space for family and friends. Since 1979, the Pizzi family, which now includes Gino's daughters Manuela, Anna, and Francesca, has been bringing that same love and commitment to the Ambrosia kitchen. Regular patrons and staff are all part of the family, and first-time visitors are welcomed like old friends.

It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. Its got a little kick and is served with our house made hot honey. Our sides are modern takes on down-home favorites. Made in house every day.The lively atmosphere is relaxed and upbeat — driven by a blues heavy soundtrack.

    Had another wonderful dining experience with my neighbors. Terrific food and drinks to ease into a “jam packed” Thanksgiving holiday schedule.

    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.

    Happily surprised by our brunch! We heard you go for the vibes…the food is ok…but our experience was quite different…the food was just as fabulous as the esthetics!!!!!! We arrived at the estate and of course were blown away! We explored the showrooms and loved everything we saw. Then we moved to the absolutely gorgeous dinner room!! The styling was impeccable with stunning views. Our server quickly greeted us and was wonderful offering us suggestions and answering our questions. The servers were more than attentive without being overbearing. The food was fabulous! Everyone in my party was blown away with the quality of the food and how quickly it all came out. Our cocktails were also fabulous! We were honestly completely blown away with our experience and are absolutely planning on coming back for dinner.
