                                                          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 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.

                                                          Meridian is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in Indianapolis. My wife and I make this our anniversary spot every year and we’re never let down. From the food to the wine list to the romantic ambiance this is a MUST- visit establishment!
