    Great, fresh choices on a simple but effective menu. Delicious food, kind and helpful service, and cozy ambiance. Plus their cocktails were lovely (although a bit strong :) but that’s ok!) Will be back!

    A great restaurant may not be so great anymore. We've been going to the Meridian for years. We live nearby and it has been one of our favorites. Unfortunately, or experience was rather disappointing on our most recent visit. The ambiance is fantastic, the dining room is clean and cozy, our table was set and ready to go. I ordered the seabass, my wife ordered the salmon with the aioli on the side, as suggested by the server. My seabass was mediocre and cold. My wife's salmon was covered with an indelibly garlicy aioli. She scraped it as clean as she could and asked if she could maybe have a side of greens for her salmon, as the bed of steamed chard was equally over-seasoned. The server came back and said, "the chef says we are out of chard." She offered no other suggestions and walked away. She later brought the bill for the full amount, we asked if any adjustments could be made. She said something along the lines of "well, the chef said no. We usually have a general manager for these things." So, we paid for the whole thing, which is fine. We're not looking for a free meal or anything. Really though, the food was off, and we generally expect a restaurant of this caliber to go above and beyond to ensure their guests are satisfied. We were left wondering if we'll ever go back, which is a little heartbreaking. Perhaps this good thing has come to an end.

    Madeline did a nice job. Food was delivered quickly with smiles. Plates were cleared and all was tasty. Little on the pricey side regarding the cost.
