From start to finish, it was a really good meal. The mussels were a standout- I highly recommend getting these and would come back for the mussels alone! The beef Wellington was also delicious and the lemon crème brûlée was 10/10.

Food, drinks, and service we’re great! We were sat by the temporary entrance which meant people kept coming in and out of the door. This became a bit annoying, but all in all a great experience.

The food was very over seasoned and plain salty. Each of the four steaks had burnt edges. The saving graces of this restaurant are the staff and decor. Everyone was very kind and professional. The food is not worth parking fee. There are many better options in the city to choose from.

We received two gift cards from family members for this restaurant, as it is our special place we got engaged and frequent. It has changed over the years, menu and vibe, but it was overall good. We got the beef Wellington for two for the first time. We were told ahead of time it would take 45-60 min to prepare, and that held true at our 5PM reservation. It comes with small carrots and potatoes, which were undercooked and very crunchy. As an appetizer, we got Parkerhouse rolls, which were awesome. And Brussel sprouts, which is a favorite of ours. Due to the menu changes over the years, we probably won’t go as much since our favorites have disappeared. But still a good meal, even during certain renovations.

Honestly was a little disappointed. The steak was $60.00 but I have had better steaks for $15.00 to $20.00 less. It wasn't a bad steak but definitely not worth the money in my opinion. The cocktails were unique and tasted good and I had no issue with the service. Maybe the other dishes are better but I likely wouldn't go back.

The food at Meat & Potatoes was absolutely incredible. The service was good and the ambiance was nice. The dining area was a little crammed, we would’ve liked some extra space while eating. But overall this is one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. 5 out of 5 stars.

I did not like our seating. Right by door. Table would’ve been nicer! If I’m not going to a show, I really don’t want to sit at a high top by the screen door in the noisy bar. The glass of wine was filled not even a quarter of the way. Food was good, however, the sauce on my vegan meatloaf tasted like straight tomato sauce. The server, Cody, was excellent!! Not sure I would return.

I Loved the Beef Wellington! My wife loved her Salmon. Our salads were fantastic. My wife ordered a side of Brussel Sprouts that were amazing. They could feed 3 - 4 people. Our waitress was easily one of the best I have ever had. I will definitely come back. It was more than I'm used to spending, but so worth it. My only complaint is the Beef Wellington is served for 2, it could feed 3-4, so a portion got boxed right away. If they were twins, they plated Arnold, and I took home Danny Devito. An excellent meal like this should not be rushed. I suggest not eating here 1 hour and 15 minutes before a show like we did. Give yourself more time. Or let this be the main event and enjoy more drinks and/or dessert. Thank you Meat & Potatoes for a memorable meal!
