Just a great journey of food. The drink pairing was great too. I the service was amazing, everyone was so thoughtful.
Amazing service, food, and ambiance! First Michelin that I actually enjoyed thank you for the birthday card as well. 10/10 experience
The courses were unique and had wonderful flavors.The restaurant and decor were as interesting as the food itself. On the downside the wine pairing portions for each glass were very small, the smallest I've had with any tasting menu wine pairing. Service was good, some seemed under confident perhaps new?
The tasting menu is innovative and unique. The staff seemed rushed, though friendly and well-intentioned. The sommelier was haughty and tone-deaf.
What an amazing experience at Meteora. I absolutely loved the atmosphere, the aesthetics of the decor, the service and the food. This was my second time here as I came shortly after they opened years ago and this time around was a delight. This immersive space is worth the reservation alone. It's so pretty and innovative. The ambience is so warm and welcoming. The manager is amazing as he was very attentive in meeting our request for specific seating. The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable about each entree. The wine pairing was perfect. I do have one critique regarding the meal. The Japanese Yam dish was served charred. I have a very refined palate and I could tell immediately that it wasn't charred but rather burnt. I could not eat the yam as it was quite bitter. Other than this hiccup, the meal was delicious. I truly enjoyed my second visit and will definitely return as well as recommend Meteora to friends and clients.
It was always my bucket list item to go to a Michelin star restaurant. It exceeded all expectations and blew us away. The food amazed us and the experience was outstanding. The server was incredibly kind and welcoming. Loved it!
6 Course Tasting Menu (with a few extra gifts from the kitchen) was wonderful. I did the juice pairing and it made for a memorable experience.
We dined at Meteora for the 6-course tasting menu with the hybrid drink pairing and added the grilled avocado with Kaluga caviar, and overall it was a memorable, well-executed Michelin-star experience. The food was highly creative, with interesting and thoughtful twists throughout the menu - my standout dish was the diver scallop crudo, where the sauce paired with horseradish cream was so compelling I wanted more with every bite. The avocado and caviar add-on was undeniably expensive but absolutely worth it for the depth of flavor, while my boyfriend especially enjoyed the yam course. We both agreed the dry-aged duck was cooked beautifully, but flavor-wise it landed on the more average end compared to the rest of the menu.
The experience was incredibly generous: complimentary wine, a sourdough bite, and an extra dessert were all included, and between those additions, the avocado course, and the tasting menu, we left very full - I was ready to tap out after the fourth course. The hybrid drink pairing was decent and appreciated since we didn’t want a high-ABV experience; the wine stood out as the favorite, the beer and sake were fine, and the juice pairing wasn’t for us. Desserts were solid, though not especially memorable.
Service exceeded expectations based on some prior reviews - we were welcomed by knowledgeable, warm servers who clearly understood the menu and made the evening feel special, even writing us a card for our celebration. The ambiance was beautiful and cohesive, and the entire meal felt polished and intentional. While this is an experience I’m glad we had once, it’s not something I’d personally return to at this price point, as there are other restaurants I’d choose for a repeat splurge. Still, it was a lovely evening and a worthwhile one-time visit for those interested in a creative Michelin-starred tasting menu.

Meteora is truly an experience. From the stunning natural ambiance to the thoughtful presentation of each course, every detail is exceptional. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this one-star Michelin restaurant is a must-visit. We enjoyed the 6-course menu with beverage pairings for each dish..so much so that we skipped dessert because it was simply too much food!

Came here for the NYE 2025 course meal and the dishes were very thoughtful and flavorful. I got the juice pairing which was an amazing, most of the flavors were fresh and tart which cut through the fats of the dishes. The scallop starter was super well balanced and the desserts were the highlight of the meal. We got the supplements and I upgraded the duck to the lamb, which I do not recommend as the condiments don’t change and the flavors worked much better with the duck and the supplements were a 3.5/5 for me. Overall, I would definitely recommend for a special occasion. The decor and atmosphere feel like a mystic fairy burrow and service was so attentive

Deeply not a fan of my experience. The skimpy pour on the glass of wine I ordered made me feel unwelcome for the jump and the food was hard to eat. Every plate turns into a mess the moment a utensil touches it. For nearly 700 dollars I feel personally insulted. There are literally water circles and the table and I had to get a slice of pizza after so I didn’t go to bed hungry. BTW the foyer smells like septic and the toilet was covered in urine.

New Year's Tasting Menu and hybrid pairing

The opening 2 seafood courses were beautiful and balanced, perfection. But then suddenly a heavy risotto paired with a Mexican beer. The upgraded Wagyu was drowned by an overpowering maple sauce.
The service staff were phenomenal, kind, quick, and incredibly knowledgeable. The main dinning room was a beautiful tropical forrest with a energized music playing.

Was there on Christmas Eve. Incredible meal, incredible service, incredible vibes. This was probably the most attentive staff I've ever seen at a restaurant, with a special shout out to the two waitresses that were there for being both extremely passionate and knowledgeable. Have already gushed about it to out of towners as a place we'll go when they visit.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is very cool, I really liked the decorations and vibes. The staff were very attentive and nice and seemed to know/care about the food. The food was also delicious. My only complaint is that both me and my partner got bad stomach problems after eating one of the dishes (we felt it might have been the butter sauce and caviar?). Aside from that no complaints at all, it is relatively affordable for this level of restaurant.

The service was impeccable ! I’m so glad I celebrated my birthday here! The black cod and scallops were my favorite ❤️ The handwritten birthday card from the restaurant was really a nice touch!
