                                                          Meridian is a beautiful place to dine. My meal was good, not great. My husband’s was less than special. The main problem was the menu. If you weren’t a fan of pumpkin, turnip or game, there were few other options. A $30 hamburger, a $51 NY strip, a $41 pork chop. He chose the $49 seared halibut. His only options for a side since he didn’t want pumpkin was mashed or fried potatoes or carrots. No green veggies. It was served with no sauce. Although it was supposed to be glazed, it was very dry and the french fries over fried. I don’t mind spending money on a really great meal but last night’s was not a good value.

                                                          Roman did a great job as our server. Food was delivered quickly and all was tasty. Boar pasta, fried oysters, Brussels sprouts salad, fresh donuts- life is good at Meridian. Little on the noisy side though.

                                                          Solid food which I characterize as upscale comfort food. Warm almost rustic feel to dining room.

                                                          First off, gorgeous ambience which sold us on booking. Server was nice but clearly overwhelmed and rushed. Then there was the food and drinks. Fairly limited / dated cocktail menu. Oysters were good. Roasted beet dish consisted of cold, gelatinous beets like from a salad bar…Not roasted. Short rib was a $40 serving of pot roast with an enormous amount of cheap tasting gravy that overpowered the delicate coconut risotto. No problem spending $200 for a dinner for two - but not the place I would unless there’s a refresh of the menu.

                                                          Consistently excellent service and food. Salmon entree was wonderful, although burger is hard to beat.
