        Wonderful experience. Staff was awesome, including the secondary waitstaff who assisted with drink refills/other items. Upside down cornbread wasn’t awesome, BBQ shrimp sauce was a little overpowering, but flatbread, fries, and dumplings were fantastic. Cotton candy was a cute and fun addition - made the kids feel special. Will absolutely return to try different items - about to choose from.

        Meril was very accommodating and understanding even on one of the busiest days of the year. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was really great. Lauren was our waitress and she was very helpful with choosing what to get.

        Foid and service were excellent! Our server, Sonia, was helpful providing information about our selections, which enabled us to have a variety of choices that were pleasing to the palate. The noise level was higher than we would have liked, but we would dine here again.

        We love the atmosphere, food and drinks each time we visit Meril’s. It is on our repeat list of wonderful restaurants in NOLA. We invited 4 friends to share this lunch and they were not disappointed. Thank you to Margot and her amazing team from the kitchen to the servers! See you soon
