    Dinner was EXCEPTIONAL. Chicken gumbo so good we licked our bowls! :). And the pineapple upside down cornbread was a perfect match ... Then we moved onto the veggie flatbread. Small plates are great because you get to taste so much of the menu! And the staff was attentive ... and in teams. Our team was Justin and Alexandria ... they were always there if you had a question or just wanted to chat. And we never had to wait for anything! Because they were a tag team. Brilliant!!!

    Great food but a little pricy considering the smallish portions.

    The food at Meril tasted great! We had the chicken and honey biscuit with some sort of raspberry compote. We also tried the steak & egg flatbread which was delicious! The drinks tasted amazing and the music by DJ Arie was rolling! I hadn’t been to Meril in over a year, but it never disappoints!

    The ambiance was lovely. It was spacious with the dining room very large and tables well spaced. You had a view of the kitchen. I liked the cocktails. The portion sizes were very small; very little bang for your buck. Also, I found the food to be average and quite greasy. We had the boudin balls, the ahi tuna pinwheels ( not greasy but very small for $18) the Margherita flat bread, the wings,and the seafood linguine. Very minimal seafood in this linguine but lots of greasy pork pieces. Would not recommend.

    Food was delicious with portions that were the right size and great flavor and quality. We asked for a table near the window but were not told that they will need the table after 75min until our waiter told us and that was unacceptable after an otherwise great experience
