        We had an amazing experience at Meril. The staff and service were impeccable. The flavor profiles of the dishes were excellent. Strongly suggest Mexican street corn, meatballs, and banana cream pie. We highly recommend dining at Meril.

        The food and service were great, just a bit noisy, as expected, with many celebrating. The food format, small plate tapas now, changed since our last visit a year ago, we are from out of town, but still plenty to share. Highly recommended!

        The restaurant was beautiful and our waiter was delightful! The meatballs, pocket bread and boudain balls were so yummy! There was a hiccup with only 3 of the 4 entrees coming out and a bit of a wait for the last but the food was so amazing!

        I've been here numerous times. Unfortunately, our service was not representative of the brand this time. About 12 mins had passed, then went back to the host to ask who our server may be. We had cocktailas already from the bar but were empty, ready for round 2... no offering for refill, just asked if we wanted water when he finally arrived at the table. We ordered everything at once, 7 small plates to share amongst 3 of us, and 1 person ordered salmon entrée. Salmon entrée arrived 1st, 10 mins later 4 out of 7 apps arrived, 2 were not what we ordered, then we finally got our water, Yay! Still haven't been offered another round of drinks..got offered dessert, and we are still missing 2 apps. We asked to cancel the 2 apps and he acted shocked that we had not received them, so we went somewhere else for cocktails and dessert. Hopefully, this was an isolated issue for whatever reason. Food quality, superb as always!

        The food and service were outstanding, but what will bring me back is the atmosphere. The place just had a great vibe.

        Good food and service. Slightly detracted detracted by the EXTREME noise level that made conversation difficult. We were a 4 person table so were in a little closer range, but still was hard to hear friends or even the server.

        Very disappointing. Food arrived cold, flavors were lacking. Waited for 20 minutes to find a dish we ordered was not available. Have been here before this place has flopped.
