After extensive rebuilding, MERIDIAN opens a new chapter in fine dining and gracious service at this address. With views of the historic homes along Meridian Street and of the peaceful green space of Alice Carter Park, MERIDIAN is unparalleled in its combination of wonderful food and comfortable surroundings.

The Meridian Restaurant was a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal and have a delightful conversation. The warm ambiance was comforting and relaxing after a long work day. The staff were extremely friendly, kind, courteous, and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the corn purée. I selected the salmon for my main course and was pleased with the decision. My colleagues both had the boar Bolognese. We ended with the donuts. Great location, great atmosphere, great people, great food, provides overall great satisfaction. Thanks Meridian.

Took my husband here for his birthday dinner. The cocktails were top-notch and fairly priced. My husband ordered the pork chop and really enjoyed it. I ordered the duck breast; not the best I’ve had. The chef likes to cook it medium. I probably should’ve asked for medium-well or something. Seemed a bit raw and chewy to me. I expected better for the price. I also expected the atmosphere to be more upscale for the price. Most people were wearing shorts and t-shirts. It seems to be an average, regular spot for some. I was looking for something a little more special for a birthday dinner. It wasn’t bad, just a little disappointing.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! Possibly the best. The service was so good its hard to find a place anywhere in the USA that will treat you this good. I called 20 minutes before they close and asked if it’s OK to come get lunch and they welcomed me with open at. S. The music was perfect, big band music from way back. The food was to die for. You should definitely stop by here. The prices were absolutely amazing I got out for less than $20! Incredible experience highly recommend.

Recently visited Meridian Restaurant & Bar and although the service was excellent by both the server and manager, the food itself was a bit of a letdown. I ordered the Prime New York Strip and was disappointed by the lack of flavor. Unfortunately, I probably wouldn’t return for the food, but the service was definitely noteworthy.

Great lunch, soup and salad both awesome. Love the atmosphere! Service was outstanding as well. Returned again today for a great spinach salad with hot bacon dressing, outstanding salad and salmon made it even better. Forget about this wonderful little spot.

I had been waiting to go to this restaurant for so long. It was very busy when we were there, so the service was understandably a bit slow. The best dish we ate was the Butter-Poached Agnolotti with Lemon Ricotta. It was amazing though the pasta edges could have been cooked a bit more.

I really enjoy this restaurant. I love the feel of the house turned restaurant. I love the hard wood and the white table clothes. Food is always great and the food specials and cocktails are always worth trying.

My wife and i went for a special dinner. It was a Tuesday several weeks ago. There were maybe six tables inside and out. Our server might have been new. The service was lackluster. We felt neglected. Food was very very good!

The service here was impeccable! Sarah our server knew everything on the menu and made fantastic suggestions. The atmosphere was A1. Joe the manager came over a couple of times to make sure everything was satisfactory. Meridian Restaurant is a great place for date night, anniversary or a birthday celebration. Best kept secret in town. We will definitely be returning.
