Meander Riverside Eatery

Fantastic experience from beginning to end! Food was wonderful! Staff— especially Ryan and Amy — made the evening so enjoyable and fun!

Phenomenal service, food, and views. A bit on the expensive side. $25 to add a chicken breast to the pasta which was maybe 2 oz. Otherwise was a great evening!

The best food we've ever had and we are from NY! Great service, and food and drinks! Brian was a great server.

What a delightful surprise! If we had not gotten a great recommendation from a friend, we would have driven right by this place, thinking it was a dive bar. But inside dozed with charm, lovely seating on a huge deck with views of the San Juan River. The food was the focus! Inventive and absolutely delicious from start to finish!

Meander was amazing. They noted that it was a date night for my wife and I and made the experience special. The host and waitress made us feel at home. They suggested delicious appetizers and desserts. The olive oil ice cream was so unique and to die for. We were visiting Pagosa to look at houses and cant wait to make it our regular date night spot.

Our experience as a party of 6 was fantastic. All of our entrees were delicious and flavor profiles were done really well. Our server was great making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal, additional utensils, extra plates for sharing, second rounds of drink orders, etc. We had a delightful evening and felt the food and portions were very on point for an upscale restaurant.

Had dinner at Meander last night and was thoroughly impressed. The staff clearly enjoys working there, which shows in their attentive, knowledgeable service. The food rivals what you'd find in major cities - fresh, locally sourced, and expertly prepared. Wine list is thoughtfully curated with great options across different price points. We were lucky to snag a table on the back deck at sunset. The riverside setting adds to what's already a very good restaurant.

The wagu steak was tough and chewy for $68.00! Couldn't really see what was served with it.

First time dining outside next to the river. It was a beautiful evening and everything was outstanding. The food is always excellent as well as the service. We have dined multiple times and have never been disappointed.

Our server, Matt, was outstanding. Attentive, knowledgeable, and polite. He really made this experience top notch. The servers work as a team for drink and food running, and all of them were wonderful and kind. The food was fantastic all the way through. The Brussel sprouts were divine, the heirloom salad was fresh and tasty, the steaks were perfection, and the cookie skillet with ice cream capped it all off. Great experience all around!

Beautiful scenery and dining experience in Pagosa Springs. Excellent cocktails and dinner.

Wonderful atmosphere especially if you are seated outside above the river. Delicious food including the farmhouse pasta. Our server, Ryan, was outstanding server!

The food was amazing, the staff really worked as a team to make sure the drinks and food got to us in a timely manner. Made our special night memorable.

This is a fantastic restaurant and I am so happy that this option exists in Pagosa. The views from the restaurant's covered deck are beautiful. Ambiance, service, and food are all great. We had venison carpaccio and the three butter board for appetizers and they were both delicious. The heirloom tomato and burrata salad was the perfect second course and the mains were all very good. Someone in our party ordered the Thai chicken and it was very authentic and delicious. The wagyu steak was tender and not overly fatty. Wine pairing recommendations were great and the wine was high quality and tasty. The late harvest merlot (I think) and the port were amazing with the two desserts that our party tried. Everyone was happy with this dining experience and we look forward to returning soon!

RUN don't walk. This place was phenomenal. We happened upon it by accident and was the best 2 meals (cause we went back 2 days in a row) that we've ever had out. Smaller portions, great for sharing and such a diverse menu.
