        Not my favorite concept. The food was small and expensive making it hard to share with a larger group. I get its tapas style, but this isn’t tapas.

        Our food, drinks and appetizers came out all at the same time. It used to be my favorite restaurant, but do not go there. There is a lot of turnover in the kitchen, cannot keep people hired and we had to send our food back because it was raw and cold. Two servers and one tried offering dessert even though we had not received our food. It was awful.

        The service was poor. We had to wait a very long time to be acknowledged, and even longer to have our order to taken.

        Love the brunch menu. The food didn’t disappoint. I love coming on sundays to hear the Dj “Arie Spins” she so sweet and makes sure we have a good vibe.

        We had an amazing experience at Meril. The staff and service were impeccable. The flavor profiles of the dishes were excellent. Strongly suggest Mexican street corn, meatballs, and banana cream pie. We highly recommend dining at Meril.

        The food and service were great, just a bit noisy, as expected, with many celebrating. The food format, small plate tapas now, changed since our last visit a year ago, we are from out of town, but still plenty to share. Highly recommended!

        The restaurant was beautiful and our waiter was delightful! The meatballs, pocket bread and boudain balls were so yummy! There was a hiccup with only 3 of the 4 entrees coming out and a bit of a wait for the last but the food was so amazing!
