    Service was horrible. Didn’t get appetizers or food until 50 minutes after sitting down.

    Waitress was not very pleasant or welcoming. Not sure why many of the old waiters left but this new bunch ain’t it. The bottomless mimosas used to be $18 then $22 now they are $30. The only thing worth it was the dj but seems like the restaurant is trying to appeal to a totally different crowd than what they used to attract…over all experience…meh

    I would not return. Had to request the dimmed lights turned up so I could see to eat. Had fish of the day which was ridiculously small portion for $34, probably 2”x3”.

    I was really looking forward to dining at Meril, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. We waited a long time for our food, and when it finally arrived, they brought the main course before the appetizers, which was disappointing. I could tell the staff was overwhelmed, and as a former server, I can empathize. However, the disorganization affected the overall experience. The food itself didn’t live up to my expectations, especially considering Emeril’s reputation and the New Orleans culinary heritage. I was hoping for more given the hype surrounding the restaurant.
