Had a great time at Meridian! Hannah the hostess was super sweet and helpful. Larry our server was on top of things, efficient, and friendly! We loved his stories about the history of the place. The manager greeted us too and was kind! We loved all of our food we ordered and the ambiance is very fancy! Makes you feel special for sure.

The Meridian Restaurant was a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal and have a delightful conversation. The warm ambiance was comforting and relaxing after a long work day. The staff were extremely friendly, kind, courteous, and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the corn puree. I selected the salmon for my main course and was pleased with the decision. My colleagues both had the boar Bolognese. We ended with the donuts. Great location, great atmosphere, great people, great food, provides overall great satisfaction. Thanks Meridian.

Fantastic old school atmosphere with current upscale menu and attentive service. Julian served us and knew the menu well and timed courses perfectly. Cocktails were prepared to order and wine list is impressive. We tried the amazing smoky corn puree soup, fried oysters, beet salad and duck breast - all delicious and presented beautifully. Can’t wait to return.

Exceptional and unique! The house specials were dishes like I’ve never had. Service was prompt and polite without rushing. Smooth and relaxing environment with good energy. Meridian is the first restaurant I’d recommend.

The Valentine's Day dinner was phenomenal. Every course was delicious, especially the Filet (both of us think it may be the best steak we've ever had)! Also, they do half-priced Wine Wednesdays, which they kept even though it was Valentine's Day, so that was a nice surprise to get a 1/2 off bottle. Atmosphere was cozy and nice, but not too fancy. We would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice dinner in Indianapolis.

Great spot for a date night. Like the location right in the neighborhood, very unique menu that frequently introduces new options (even had a pumpkin bowl!). Service is consistently very good, and overall a nice, classy spot.

I had out of country guests for whom I wanted to show some Indiana history, atmosphere and hospitality. Meridian did not disappoint from the warm yeast rolls and butter to the pork medalians with pesto cream sauce linguini. Service was exceptional. Dark hardwood floor, wooden beams and white table cloths felt warm, cozy and welcoming. Entrees were each prepared with creativity and arrived at our table piping hot. Highly recommend.
