"Welcome to our home. Meyhouse is a casual place where family and friends get together over a drink, mezes, unique seafood, and grilled delicacies.
Our philosophy is unique in many ways. We have an ingredient first approach, which means we handle ingredients as minimally as possible through the cooking process. We source the highest quality ingredients we can find and let them shine. Our recipes are as authentic as possible, no sous vide or modernist cuisine can be found here."

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for the last 4 months, and finally had a special birthday event to make reservations. Meyhouse had a nice table reserved for us, and a note placed on the table recognizing my wife's birthday. We did not pay for the jazz concert that was occurring during our dinner, but it did not fill the restaurant with music so we were able to still have a private conversation. Expensive meal, but so worth the money because of the food quality and excellent service. My only comment was limited wine selection on the menu, but when you see their wine bottle display near the restrooms it had other wines that were not listed.

The food was good…. However we appetizers and a salad and we didn’t get our salad and had to remind our server a couple of times and got it right before our main dish. We also ordered a side of white rice with a main dish and it came 15 min later than the main dish and it was a scoop of cold rice which was $16.00. At no point was there an apology for the late salad or the late cold rice.

Too loud and music became a show stopper especially towards the end as it was indelible and totally out of context of a fine dining experience
