    Beautiful facility and gracious, warm and friendly staff. The food was quite good if slightly expensive for the Oregon coast. $35 for corkage and $29 for 6 oysters is among the highest prices statewide. The wait staff , especially MJ was above and beyond exceptional.

    Made Christmas reservations expecting to be able to order a nice meal and was informed that only the Happy Hour menu was available, very disappointing experience.

    We were looking for a special place for our Christmas meal. This was definitely not a good choice. The food was just OK and the temperature of the food was cool to cold. There was only one waitress on the floor and she was doing her absolute best, but it appeared that the kitchen was struggling. I sent my potato pancakes back to the kitchen as they were cold and everyone forgot about them until I had totally finished my meal. I had to ask where they were and they came back to me at that time. We didn’t eat until after three and we were still only allowed to order off of a brunch menu. After we ordered, it seemed they changed over to the dinner menu. The decor is nice. The facility is beautiful, but they were definitely not able to put together that special meal that you would like to celebrate the holiday. I would be very hesitant in recommending this restaurant to anyone.

    Such a disappointment for a special occasion dinner. We should have left when it took 10 minutes for a server to bring us water or acknowledge us ( it was not busy) but we hoped things would improve. Cocktails were unbalanced and every food item we ordered was extremely salty- even the salad! The lack of nuance and flavor was a surprise for an expensive restaurant with an impression of high end dining. I'd recommend going to any of the more affordable local restaurants for a better meal at a better price.

    Came for Thanksgiving dinner. We both had the prix fixe and everything was fantastic. The details of each dish were not lost and the flavor profiles were festive without being over indulgent. Emma was our gracious host and very accommodating. Being our first time to Meridian it couldn’t have been more perfect. We’ll be back!

    I have been coming to this restaurant for several years and have always loved it. This last year however there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of the food. Last night for example I ordered the chicken piccata special which was to come with kale and mashed potatoes. The dish was covered in over a cup of a heavy cream based sauce that made it so I couldn’t even differentiate the mashed potatoes from the cream. The kale was just heavily wilted and barely noticeable under the cream as well. Additionally I ordered the stone fruit Burrata salad which was a couple of teaspoons of finely chopped peaches and a serving of burrata cheese. It was so basic I couldn’t believe the price for the quality and lack of creativity. Lastly their clam chowder used to be so amazing…. It had incredible flavor and was a unique creamy brothy style with grilled bread that was not a heavy thick creamy version everyone else does. Now their signature dish is a thick salty creamy clam chowder you can get anywhere. They also used to serve it with a grilled bread and now their bread has even changed, it’s a soft smaller French bread it seems? Anyway; overall I’m sad to see the creative high quality food here going toward a cut the corners type of basic. The ambiance is still fantastic, the service is wonderful.
