Meril

Had a great early dinner, we sat at the bar and had some wonderful cocktails and fish spread with fried saltines. Went for the short ribs but they were off the menu so we got the pork ribs which were great. Amberjack was on the menu and did not disappoint. We also ordered 2 pasta dishes which were excellent

I understand why this place is so popular! The place is beautiful and a great atmosphere. Brittany, our server, was amazing. The food was incredible. I had the heirloom carrots, corn and meatballs and my friend had the fettuccine Nero and a flatbread and it was all phenomenal. We also had the coffee/chocolate crème brûlée which I loved. I have zero complaints about this place. We were stuffed and happy at the end. I also had a bourbon on broad and that was delicious as well.

Weekend dinner, party of 6 with reservations, arrived 12 mins early and had zero wait. Staff was welcoming and attentive. You can tell the staff enjoys working here and they are treated as a team. The food was amazing! We ordered multiple tapas plates and shared between the tables. Everyone loved the food and the environment. Great place for a group gathering, food was remarkable, and the staff were the best! Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of dining at Meril in the vibrant Warehouse District of New Orleans, just a short stroll from the historic French Quarter, and I must say it was a culinary delight! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the chic and modern ambiance. The staff was incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home and the menu at Meril is a culinary masterpiece, offering a diverse selection of dishes that beautifully blend flavors and ingredients. What truly sets Meril apart is their commitment to innovation. The creative cocktails and appetizers showcased the culinary team's talent and passion. The wine list is extensive, offering the perfect pairings for every dish. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or a vegetarian, Meril caters to all tastes with its wide range of options. The restaurant's modern decor and attentive service complement the exquisite food, creating an unforgettable dining experience. I can't recommend Meril enough; it's a must-visit when in New Orleans, and I can't wait to return for another remarkable culinary adventure.

The staff at Meril were so great in accommodating my multiple food allergies, even during busy dinner hours on a Saturday! I had the shrimp tacos which were INCREDIBLE and a modified Fettuccine Nero (without butter sauce to accommodate dairy allergy)—fantastically savory and crabby and delicious. They even modified my friend’s dish so that I was able to try her entree as well, 10/10 service and food. Will be back!

A little bit of a mixed review, overall most things we tried were very good but a few misses for me. Nice atmosphere, we were seated near the open kitchen and it was nice to watch the chefs. The pocket bread was very interesting. Hard to explain its sort of like a very light puffed up pita. Tasty but the wow factor is the main draw. Shishito peppers were cooked well but a little under seasoned. The grilled corn may have been the best bite, crisp, seasoned well with tons of flavor. Chicken wings were good. The gnudi was a little disappointing. The server warned me it was a very small portion, but it also was a little one note. It did have pine nuts on it but the dish just ate a little soft and mushy. The fettuccine was very good. I don’t care for truffle flavored food but the truffle wasn’t overpowering, we also added chicken to it. The beef short ribs are a tie for best bite. Tons of flavor. Desserts were very pretty presentation but not memorable.
