Waitstaff couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. First class service. This was our first time at Meritage based on high recommendations from friends. Food was very good. Dessert was delicious. Only drawback in our opinion was that everything was a la carte. Side of pasta, salad, cooked veggie, etc with entree was an extra cost. Chicken paillard was good as it was served with Caesar salad on top. Also, check your bill carefully. We were accidentally charged for a bottle of wine ($60) instead of a glass of wine ($15). Of course, it was corrected immediately.

About the restaurant

Lexington Square Cafe invites guests into a vast space that combines cosmopolitan chic with a friendly atmosphere. Its distinct decor exudes elegance and warmth, so it accommodates the needs of its patrons, formal and informal. A spacious main dining room with a 17-foot high ceiling and different tiers provides guests with various dining niches. Cherry wood wine racks, alabaster lighting and a grand, sweeping staircase add to Lexington Square's sumptuousness. An upstairs, warm dining room with butternut squash walls is perfect for those who prefer a little more intimacy. Still another option during the warmth of spring, summer and fall is a private, flowery patio for casual al fresco dining. We have created a menu that has "SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE". The most popular items on his menu are Ahi Tuna Tacos, Lobster BLT Salad, Grilled Salmon Club, Parmesan Crusted Lemon Sole & Sirloin Steak Au Poivre.

We've been coming to Peter Pratt's for Christmas Eve for the last several years. It is the perfect place to celebrate that holiday. It's like stepping back in time. Of course, it's also a perfect place to dine anytime. We love sitting on the porch on a balmy summer evening. It doesn't get better than that. The food and service are always perfect.

Our party of 6 was seated in the small room and it was very comfortable. We asked for separate checks and our waiter gladly obliged us. Everyone enjoyed their food as it was beautifully prepared and delicious. Our waiter was very pleasant and attentive. We all agreed we would go back again.

Feast of the Seven Fishes, the elevated version was delicious! The three Mike’s really made it the perfect evening. Anastacio is the top chef in town for sure and he raised the bar again. The wine pairings with this tasting menu were perfectly chosen. And the service top notch & personnable. 4 hour dinner with each course spaced out perfectly. Not inexpensive but we were definitely given our moneysworth.

About the restaurant

For two decades now Ignacio Blanco has been a trailblazer in America for modern Spanish cuisine, first in TriBeCa at Meigas and other restaurants he’s opened in Connecticut. The current Ibiza Kitchen, opened in 2018, is one of his finest efforts, and there simply is no more affable host than he, ever passionate about introducing you to, or adding to your knowledge of, a style of food that is, as he says, a way of life in Spain.

This was my second visit to Townhouse and it was excellent, once again. It was hard to choose from a menu filled with one delicious offering after another. I was with friends, and we shared a number of dishes and each one was delicious. Our server was delightful. He was attentive - but not intrusive. Loved the whole experience and highly recommend. I can’t wait to go back!
