Favorite restaurant in New Orleans. Food as well as the service and ambiance is great every time.
Great food and reasonable prices, fun atmosphere and I would return again soon
Great place. A must. Not our first time. Won't be our last.
Food was delicious. Server was very prompt and attentive. Had good knowledge of dishes. Would definitely go back again
Great food and service. Nice variety of dishes. Eclectic flavors that are signature emeril.
The Fettuccine Nero with blue crab, Calabrian chiles, arugula, and marcona almonds is an entirely different pasta experience, and in the spirit of Food Network, it is one of "The Best Things I Ever Ate." The sparse seating and tables (possibly because of the pandemic), the modern but welcoming decor, and the attention from all employees - from the host station, server, trainers, food delivery, payment, and exit; it was an impeccable dining experience and I would highly recommend Meril to anyone and everyone interested.
Our waiters were attentive and personable. The happy hour was from 5-6. The happy hour selections were reasonably priced, and there were quite a few options. The cosmos were beautiful and tasty. They didn't have the calamari small plate which was disappointing because that is one of my favorites at Meril. They have changed the fried chicken and salad entrée choice; I like the old one much better.
We were seated to the left of the bar in a cozy spot where we could hear one another. Sometimes the main sections of the restaurant are too noisy.
I was surprised that it didn’t cost more. The service was outstanding. We had two waiters help us and they were both so quick and attentive
Always good food and great service. Very accommodating.
We've been to Meril over a dozen times and have had quality experiences / food every time until this one.
This time, dinner started with their covid plastic guard at hostess station falling onto me before we even got taken to our table.
While it was Valentines Day, with covid protocols the place was in no way overwhelmed patron wise, and our entrees took well over 40 mins to receive post appetizer. My wife's entree was the wrong dish, which was corrected with a replacement 10 mins later after we had shared and finished my entree (our food was just fine as it always is here!).
At no point did anyone from mgmt come check on the issue with the excessive wait or mistake on our food (although a mgr did come by and say hi and make a bit of a joke about the 'issue when we checked in') from when we arrived or apologize (maybe bring a glass of wine or something for the trouble) in any manner.
Again we love Meril and bring people there all the time, but this was an off night to be sure and wasn't handled well at the time.
We'll certainly go back given our positive history, but another off night like this and we might drop Meril in the pecking order of our rotation for in town NOLA dinner spots.
Always a family favorite! Great food, service and festive atmosphere!
Food was awesome & so was the service. Meril’s was very energetic with great music! Drinks were great!
Our server Lauren was wonderful! She made our dining experience amazing. The food was delicious on top of spectacular service!
Always consistent in taste and service!
We went for Valentine’s Day, for brunch. They had a DJ for Mardi Gras which was nice. The brunch menu is very very small. Only 6 things to choose from. I think if they’re going to do brunch it needs to have more of a selection. But overall food was good.
Great food and great service!! The last time we were there we had a reservation and they didn’t seat us until about an hour after our reservation time. But this time was perfect!!
Service was great! No delay in getting drinks or food. Food was delicious.

The sauce on the ribs was overtook the taste of the ribs and kimchi / wAnted to change my meal. Other wise it was very presentable and adécuate place to have a family get together.
The food was great! However our entrees came out well before our starters. It was a bit confusing. Not really sure what happened there. The service was great considering the current environment with COVID. Noise wise it was quite lively and loud as per usual for such a social spot.
The place was so energetic and fun that we couldn’t help but have a great time!!! Everything was done in an excellent way from the food to the service. We will definitely go back and recommend Meril to all of our friends.
Food was tasteless. The atmosphere was fantastic but our waitress was not gonna hear the food was terrible. She barely came to our table once the food came out. Would not recommend.
Everything we ordered was great. Service was awesome! One of my favs in nola’n
Great food, service and atmosphere!
My husband and I took our 7 year old daughter there for a pre-Valentine’s Day dinner. It was Fabulous!!! Our waitstaff was great as always. We’ve many many times now and love the food!!!
Went for happy hour and had a blast. Good deals on vodka drinks and fantastic service. Very cool venue.
I loved the creativity in the menu. Lots of salad choices and healthy choices. Gumbo was delicious.
Please bring back the original sauce of the Korean bbq wings.
Came for Brunch... the brunch menu is great - the chicken sandwich was on point along with the mimosas served with fresh juices. Enjoyed the DJ playing during brunch, and our server Lauren was excellent! :)
All three of our dishes were very good, would have liked additional grits on shrimp and grits order. Our issue was music played. If this was suppose to be a "Sunday New Orleans Brunch" occasion, play New Orleans Jazz, aka Armstrong, etc, not Club selections. Yes we made a request through our seater-it was ignored. If we want Club music, we will head out to New Orleans nite scene when it reopens.
One of the best brunch experiences ever! And the DJ put it over the top!
Meril is always wonderful. Love Sunday brunch. Incredible breakfast flatbread and Nutella crepes.
Service always terrific.
Overall we had a great experience at Meril's. We celebrated my cousin's 24th birthday. Dave was our server. He was very personable and made our overall experience great. Marcus made sure our long wait didn't unnoticed. We will definitely be back.
We celebrated our 31st anniversary at Meril. We felt perfectly safe in the outdoor seating area and enjoyed a fabulous meal with attentive and friendly service. Loved it!
Food was well thought out, and service so warm and inviting. Thank you!
