    My only real issue with the food was the salmon I requested well done… it was not cooked through in the center so I only ate about half of it from the ends. I didn’t mention it to our server so in all fairness they might have corrected it for me if I had asked. The rest of our food was good and our server was good too despite being very busy. We enjoyed the experience and would go again.

    What a great experience! The space is beyond beautiful, food was absolutely delicious, and the service (Lilly) was more than we could have asked for. Great views of the ocean and modern decor. No complaints on any of the apps or entrees - lots to pick from and all fantastic. Drinks were also perfect. Loved it and would absolutely recommend it. Prices were more upscale, but it was worth it.

    Good to very good. I was disappointed that such a high end lodging would have an unimpressive appearing restaurant. The hostess asked if there was a special occasion, to which I said my husband's 75th birthday, yet no one acknowledged it. So aside from not meeting initial expectations the food was very good and I would return now that I know what to expect.

    Gorgeous restaurant, professional, hospitable staff, excellent food. Don’t miss their chowder or scallops, and if available, the agedashi tofu - so nice to see such a beautifully prepared vegetarian dish. This was our first time dining at Meridian, we can’t wait to return.

    We celebrated our 30th anniversary there and it was wonderful! Everything from the general ambiance to our server to our drinks and meal were exceptional. The Sitka drink is so unique and delicious - I'll order it again. Our appetizers were the right amount and so flavorful - the house chowder wasn't heavy like a typical chowder. It was perfect! My husband ordered the ribeye and he said it was cooked exactly as he ordered and expected. My sturgeon was delightful! Very generous portions, well cooked accompaniments, and again just delicious! Our server, Sam, was fantastic! She wasn't overbearing, but attentive, friendly but not fake. We felt the prices well supported everything we experienced! Thank you, Meridian Restaurant, for a memorable evening to celebrate our 30th!

    Tried almost all the sea food on the menu, everything was great. The developer of this place really should have put the restaurant on the bottom level of the ocean side IMO. Having all guests checking into hotel walking through the restaurant was noisy. Everything else was top notch.

    I feel that they cater to the hotel guests, by seating the locals in less desirable areas. Though I reserved a special anniversary date days in advance,my husband and I were sat in the noisy bar area. The food was good but not superb for the top dollar you are charged. This was our second visit and if we ever return we won’t reserve ahead.

    I had an amazing experience a Meridian Restaurant! Shelly (our server) was so attentive and made me feel very special as I celebrated both a birthday and a babymoon. They went above and beyond to make sure the table we had was romantic and special and that our drinks and food was timed perfectly to the flow of discussion at our table. I highly recommend Meridian for any special occasion.

    It was great both times we ate in Meridian while in Pacific City - large portions of excellent food. They had just opened up for in-restaurant dining and we felt safe. Tables were spaced out, they had plexiglass barriers between tables, and the restaurant has a very high ceiling.

    a wonderful place on the beach, where upscale dining is not so easy to find. Very quiet in December 2020. The menu is somewhat restricted, and it is a bit pricey but otherwise, the service was good and the food excellent. I particularly recommend the Elk.

    We stayed two nights at Headlands so we tried different dishes at the Meridien and as a meat lover I can say their Rib Eye is probably the best I have tried which is above all the great steakhouses in Portland. Pork Chops outstanding as well and the grilled Octopus as well....last but not least the cocktails are amazing ! Worth every penny
