"Welcome to our home. Meyhouse is a casual place where family and friends get together over a drink, mezes, unique seafood, and grilled delicacies.
Our philosophy is unique in many ways. We have an ingredient first approach, which means we handle ingredients as minimally as possible through the cooking process. We source the highest quality ingredients we can find and let them shine. Our recipes are as authentic as possible, no sous vide or modernist cuisine can be found here."

Everything we ate was delicious. The sesame crusted bread was a great accompaniment throughout the meal to dip into the sauces and hummus. We shared and ate every bite of Levrek (marinated branzino) Turkmen Mantisi -Steamed dumplings over garlic yogurt with paprika-butter, hummus, and lamb chops and profiterole for dessert. A perfect gin martini and a virgin mojito. The place is large and nicely decorated and service was very good. Will definitely return.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for the last 4 months, and finally had a special birthday event to make reservations. Meyhouse had a nice table reserved for us, and a note placed on the table recognizing my wife's birthday. We did not pay for the jazz concert that was occurring during our dinner, but it did not fill the restaurant with music so we were able to still have a private conversation. Expensive meal, but so worth the money because of the food quality and excellent service. My only comment was limited wine selection on the menu, but when you see their wine bottle display near the restrooms it had other wines that were not listed.
