My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday night out at Meraki Manor. We sat at the bar with Kearstin, and several "regulars" like Ed, and a nice mature couple from Geigertown. All were very welcoming.The food was fantastic. We shared Stuffed Mushrooms, Stuffed Shrimp, Scallops, and an amazing Filet. Got some Maryland Bisque, and Lemon Cake to go. Again, fantastic ! Best, best, food and atmosphere we have enjoyed in quite a while. Loved it ! Also, the owners, and the rest of the staff were equally as friendly. Can't wait to go back !!

This is our second visit to Meraki Manor. I know everyone is going to have an off night but the cards were really stacked against our party of 4 last night. After being greeted and seated we listened to the nights specials, each being eye wateringly more expensive than that last. I was wondering if they were talking American dollars but when the number went over 60, I stopped listening. We each then ordered from the menu and our companions meal came out quite quickly but it turns out it was for a different table. They were replaced with the correct order and shortly after, my wife's meal of fish and chips arrived. I still hadn't been served but as I was enjoying conversation, a plate was placed in front of me and it was my wife who noticed it was not what I ordered. The plate was removed and it wasn't until everyone was done eating that my order arrived. Since the others were nearly finished, I said just give it to me to go. At that point I expected the meal would be comped, but no, one free dessert was what was offered as an apology. I don't eat dessert so my wife ordered baklava. We got one small piece in a to go box and then paid full price for the rest of our meal. Needless to say, it was quite a disappointing evening and we will have to think long and hard before returning or giving Meraki a personal recommendation.

Had a reservation and were seated promptly and ordered cocktails and our meals. Nice seasonal cocktail menu and they arrived quickly along with our soups and salads. That's when the delays happened. Waited roughly 45 minutes for our food, but the note on the menu warned us to be patient because everything is made to order. We passed the time with lively conversation in our group. My meal: oysters were very large and oversized and heavily breaded. The best looking (and tastings I suspect) meals were the broiled fish. Make your reservation well in advance. Ladies bathroom was freezing cold, they need to add a space heater or get the old radiator on the wall fixed.

We went there for the first time a few months ago, but just getting around to reviewing now. Sat outside, and it was great. They had a new waitress working, and I think were also short-staffed, and it was just one of those nights where everything went wrong. Despite that, they kept smiling and apologizing and fixed things as quickly as they could. Everything we ate was excellent, and we can't wait to go back. After dinner, the owner came out to apologize again. It helped that everyone around us was very understanding as well.
This is a hard review to write, I would like to give them 5 stars---but I have to go with 4. That "withholding" has nothing to do with the food---it was wonderful! I had the seafood chowder---and had I known what to expect I would have ordered a bowl (or more). It was a fabulous cream-based chowder, garnished with a generous mound of lump crabmeat---so good! We had fresh baked bread and butter--without asking. I had a Caesar salad---garnished with six excellent anchovies---what a treat! Everyone was equally happy with their salads. The entrees included veal parm, beef stroganoff, and veal Mediterranean, all were excellent, and the quantity bordered on sinful! To the person (5) everyone raved about their meals. Now, the reason for 4 stars, and I hope this is taken as it is meant as an admiring constructive criticism. There were a few misses that could raise this restaurant to true fine dining: The server (Skyler B) was delightful but not knowledgeable about details of the menu. I fully understand the challenges of hiring workers today, but she would have benefited with training. Our server did the best she could, she needs support to take it to the next level. The water was served un-chilled and without ice. The salad plates were plastic. There was no offer of fresh ground pepper or of freshly grated parmesan. The front of the house needs to lift their performance to match the excellent performance from the kitchen. We will be back.

Quality dining experience from the start! Most excellent food, prepared cleanly and top notch ingredients. No junk cuts of meat. The service is outstanding! We were served the most refreshing water up being seated. That’s very important to me! Our server was Kelly, it the Owner, Chrissy checked on us a few times, and even got us something we needed when Kelly stepped away a moment. The atmosphere is cozy and historic. Such a charming place! Small restrooms but so very clean. Yes, you get what you pay for. Our bill for two was $128, but I’d pay that again, well worth every penny! Go and see for yourself. And if you like dogs, their sweet boy is outside waiting patiently for a hello petting from whomever will visit him.

Hands down the best broiled scallops I have ever eaten. My husband's filet was delicious also. I don't know what took us so long to try this place. We will definitely be back.
5 out of 5 star rating, highly recommend
