    The Meridian has a neighborhood feel but with class. The ambiance is good for celebratory dinners for a group or an intimate dinner for two. You can expect to be attended to. The reception is warm. And you feel safe in the space and not rushed. Catlin was our server and she was exceptional! What I enjoy most is if you have special dietary needs, they listen and accommodate as best they can, which in my experience has proven to be above my expectations. I would recommend The Meridian to my friends.

    I had never eaten there, whereas everyone else in our party of eight had. Breads, stuffed mushrooms, potato pancakes, numerous sausages, chambord raspberry cake--all superb. The hot sauce that accompanied the bread will knock your socks off. Have water handy. An attribute that we appreciate is that there is a large dining area where the acoustics are good, keeping the noise level relatively low. We live about 30 minutes away. It's worth the drive and we'll be back soon.

    It’s been a few years since we were able to eat at Prime 47 because we are only here during PRI. We had to come early to be fitted for a seat insert, so we took advantage of the slower evening. It did not disappoint.
