    Excellent visit again and was so happy to have my salmon Benedict and salmon pizza. We also got the lobster macncheese and it was so yummy. The salmon Benedict caught me by surprise because instead of did a biscuit or muffin , the layer was hash brown. A little different but still yummy.

    We go to many Michelin Star restaurants and enjoy the tasting menus. We decided Meteora was next after having experienced Vespertine, both restaurants by Chef Jordan Kahn. The culinary experience begins the moment you walk through the elegantly designed entrance. Once inside, you are enveloped in an ambiance of sophistication and warmth by decor of harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and subtle nods to nature. There were plenty of soft lighting and organic materials to make you feel like one with nature. The service by our waiter Daniel and staff was impeccable. They guided us through an exquisite journey of flavors. The culinary creations at Meteora are nothing short of art. Each dish is a testament to the chef’s dedication to innovation and quality, showcasing locally sourced ingredients that are transformed into masterpieces. The tasting menu is a must-try, offering a series of meticulously crafted courses that take your palate on a delightful adventure. We asked for something more than the 4-course tasting menu and the staff came back with the 7-course menu. Our party of 6 embarked on the latter journey. As the meal progressed, it became clear that Meteora is not just about food; it's about storytelling. Seated in the private dining room called “The Nest”, our group enjoyed the culinary experience and said this is up there with a few of our favorite Michelin star restaurants.

    The food was really outstanding, and the service was very, very good. The room is noisy and it was made worse by some of the music choices and the volume of the music. The lighting at night time is not ideal for a restaurant offering this quality of food. It would be nicer to enjoy the food and the service in an environment where you don't have to yell at each other. The acoustics of the room is difficult, so maybe it would be wise to tone things down a little bit.
