Went here on our honeymoon. Our food was fabulous and the service was amazing. The mashed potatoes are to die for.Kid-friendliness: Had a kid menu but the atmosphere is fancy and for adults.

A group of friends met for dinner to celebrate a birthday. Everyone from the person that greeted us to the person that brought our food was great! The food was amazing, and we had a wonderful time!!
It's a charming restaurant with good ambience. The service was good, not great. Between my date and we each enjoyed about half of what was on our plate. Her twice baked mashed potatoes were edible but she wouldn't order them again. And my baked half chicken seemed to be twice baked. It was very dry/way over cooked.

I met a friend at Meritage for lunch. We had not see each other for a while so we were looking forward to catching up and at the same time enjoy a great lunch. The food was great. I appreciate that there are options for a "lighter" lunch. The only problem was the noise level. The table next to us seemed to think we wanted to share in their conversation. This is not the first time I have encountered this problem. Last year I met a group of friends for dinner at Meritage and there were a group of men who were loud. But I have to say because of the food and serve I would recommend Meritage to friends and also go again.

Passing through town and having to spend the night in Glendale I get a hot tip that this place was the best in town. The ribeye was everything I wanted it to be. Definitely a true gem.

I loved the warmth and live music upstairs but I forgot how distracted my daughters get by the TVs. I have to remember to stay downstairs with them next time. The service is always great, as is the food!

Staff were incredibly nice, but the food was incredibly bland. I tried the the eggplant parmesan special. It had no flavor whatsoever, and the eggplant was not prepared well. It was served with a pound of pasta for some reason. Would not recommend this place. You do get a large quantity of food, but at quality well below a chain restaurant.

What a fantastic evening. Greeted with a pleasant welcome and smile as we entered. The service from Sam was phenomenal!! The food all had such great flavor. 1st time visit and won't be last. Very impressed. You will be blessed if Sam is your waitress

Meh. The food was ok but the incredibly rude service made everything taste worse than it probably was. Our waitress was not helpful, derogatory, dismissive, etc. And since there were 6 of us an automatic gratuity was added of 22% so she really had no incentive to be friendly. Shouldn't they tell you that when they hand you the check or are they hoping to get 40% plus. There are better places to try.
Great meal. Crab cakes with brussel sprouts. Monday is half price wine night which was a bonus. Service was good. Can't wait for the weather to get warmer to enjoy your lovely patio.
Family birthday celebration. Had amazing service. She was knowledgeable on all the nightly specials and Service was prompt The creole ribeye was cooked perfectly Great wine selection! Live music in the bar area We celebrate most of our special occasions here and it's always great.

Our server Sarah was the best, I wish I could have tipped more! She made sure my wife and I were comfortable by allowing us to change tables because my wife was cold sitting near the door. I really enjoyed the weekend ambiance, the appetizers were so filling I had to eat the rest of my entree at home! Worth every dollar I spent and I can't wait until my next time :)

We came to the Meritage for dinner and listen to the entertainment. The food and beer was delicious and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming. Sarah, our waitress, did a great job accommodating us even though she was overworked. We love the band providing music on Thursday nights. Very good and not too loud so we could still talk. We were upstairs and felt very comfortable. We will be coming again and again. Very good experience.

This is not a very big place so I suggest making a reservation. The food was excellent! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! My husband and I will definitely be going back. Our waitress was very nice and informative.I had the Thai glazed salmon on a bed of delicious rice with a side of brussel sprouts. It was all delicious ?! My husband had the pan seared scallops on a bed of rice with oven-roasted carrots. He let me try a little bite of his scallop, and it was mouth-watering! The only negative about his meal is that it only comes with 4 scallops, but I think as delicious as they are, that 8 wouldn't be enough.
