Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

Beautiful venue, we loved every minute of our time there! The food and dessert was fantastic! And service was excellent! We will be back!

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.

I write a review everytime I visit Seasons52. This was the first time in a while we had a very short wait (totally worth the 10 minute wait. The staff is always so pleasant, kind, and communicative. I find this is a trait that many dine in establishments are running short on. After being seated our server came over to take our drink order and let us know they would be back shortly. It’s very apparent that tonight they were fully booked based on no empty tables anywhere - but also fully staffed. I worked in restaurants most of my teens and twenties and I know how difficult it can be to balance front and back of the house while maintaining service, food times, and quality. Seasons52 just never disappoints. Our server Tysen was top notch and checked in just the right amount. Nothing can be more obnoxious than an overbearing (or neglectful) server. Tysen hit the mark! Another thing to note is that the kitchen is open - it always interesting to see how hard and quick the back of the house works - kudos to them as well. They aren’t seen most of the time so I think it’s important to recognize that the amount of food and coordination I saw in the expo was incredible. All this to say - I’ll definitely be back as this is our favorite dependable, go-to for our monthly date nights. Thanks Seasons52 staff!

Our server Abby was excellent. On a very busy night she made sure she made our experience a good one. The food was delicious. The atmosphere old school.

My party arrived earlier than we expected (about 40 minutes) and we only had a short wait before we were seated. This was our first and definitely not our last time dining at Firebirds. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Thank you Firebirds staff for making my mother in law’s birthday an enjoyable experience.
