    We expected a lot more from the “fancy” restaurant onsite. The prices were outrageous and the food was so bland. Our server couldn’t give a good wine alternative when the one I wanted was sold out (first he said it was light, then he said it was heavy…?). The pianist stopped playing mid-dinner and there was an awkward silence. The tables are also close together so everyone can hear each other’s conversations.

We take your feedback about the food and the service very seriously. We also apologize for the inconvenience caused by the table spacing arrangement, with it being the holidays we are doing our best to give as many festive guests as possible the change to enjoy a dinner with our family.

    My wife and I went here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I requested a nice table, if available, and Meridia did not disappoint. We had a great table (and view as the sun was setting) and had an incredible waitress, Elizabeth. She made the whole evening even more special… thank you E!

    Sort of disappointed. The view was great. Meal… average. Our short rib was dry, but a huge portion. Our second drink took so long to get to us we wanted to cancel, but it came. All in all, was ok
