    Really great lunch experience today. The turkey necks are amazing and the banana cream pie is not to be missed. All the staff was friendly and accommodating.

    Pretty, nice cocktails, food comes out haphazardly and they defend that...Flatbread are unreliable. Still a good place to visit and enjoy an afternoon.

    The staff was wonderful! We were a party of 8 and the issue of separate checks wasn’t a problem. They had lots of suggestions and even brought us a complimentary dessert! The food was good and their main dishes servings were enough to share and the snack entrees a just perfect for one.

    Overall we enjoyed ourselves The food wasn’t the best being that the menu changed but our server was a 8/10 . So I would give this experience a 8/10 because a lot had changed and it seems as if the Meril was going for a more upscale crowd on a Plato of food etc which wasn’t bad but was great either I would say still room for improvement.

    $28 for four scallops in a pan was a little ridiculous. Also, $30 for "truffle pasta" with no truffle was definitely a curve ball. Our bartender was the best part of our experience. May not be back anytime soon.

    First time back at Meril in a couple of years and it did not disappoint, Food was uniformly fantastic, especially the ceviche, kung pao broccoli, candied ribs, fries, and strawberry lemonade icebox pie. And the service - from the warm and genuine welcome at the door to our waitstaff – was attentive, professional, and friendly. Special shout out to Sonia for making us feel special! She was one of the highlights of a great evening.
