        Had the shrimp tacos, and the shrimp and pork dumplings. They were both great. Also enjoyed the tiramisu for dessert. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

        The fish dip did not have a good flavor. I was chunks of fish with mayo and Smokey taste but not smooth at all to spread on the crackers. My dbl hamburger was well done and black all around the edges. Fries were very good an so were the carrots! My husbands fish was very small and said the taste of just ok. We love going here in the past and this time was below the quality we have been use to in the past. Not sure if we will try it again or not. Our servers were very good!

        We had a great night at Meril with family from out of town. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud. Our server Craig and his assistant Marcus took care of us from start to finish, ensuring that our order was delivered appropriately and that all was to our satisfaction. The food was delicious. Some highlights that stood out were the cordon bleu flatbread, cauliflower, tuna bundles, and fettuccine Nero. For dessert, the skillet cookie was amazing and that famous banana cream pie never disappoints - absolutely delicious! We look forward to our next visit already!

        Service was stellar, waitress/bartender was knowledgeable about food and offered her top picks. Drinks were superb, great music. Everyone was using their 6 inch voices. Food was great quality and hot upon serving. Highly recommend and will be back this fall.

        Basic food for the price; burger comes with nothing plate looked so bare. Throw on a pickle or something to dress it up! Feels like a cafeteria vibe with so many tables close together; although not full the noise level is very high; needs a carpet or two to absorb noise. People eat and leave here so fast it’s noticeable that people don’t want to stay. Service was nice and staff are trying hard but this place needs a revamp in terms of food and concept. Would not return overpriced for what you get.

        Can't say enough good things about the place. It's a nice relaxed vibe. Very personable and attentive staff. The burger tastes like a burger should - moist with a crunchy crust and perfect beefy flavor.

        We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch. We had Bloody Mary’s with Hendricks gin, which were very tasty. We started with deviled eggs and tuna tartare appetizers. How they were great. My partner had the burger and I had the chicken and biscuits. The chicken and biscuits were the best I’ve ever had. I got the syrup on the side, which was a good move because the chicken was tasty by itself. The biscuits with butter were scrumptious!

        Contemporary restaurant serving a delicious modern take on some classic dishes. Serving size is for sharing, but there is a good array of dishes for individual choice. Service was outstanding, and ambience great.
