The Meridian - Puyallup (WA)

5 /5 Tiffany: This place is a gem, it’s tucked in the corner and at night you can’t really see it, but going inside was surreal. The ambiance, and the decorations made it really cool. The seating for the adults at the bar was behind, what looked like, an enclosed book shelf. The quality of food is worth every penny, especially since the food is prepped way in advance. You can tell the innovative taste and flavor is each food item. For the appetizer we tried the steak diablo. The spicy sherry sauce was delicious as the spice hits you towards the end. The smash burger, omg, the bacon sauce!!! Need I say more?! Then the pork loin, with the puree butternut squash, yummm! The service was excellent and kind. We got to meet Brian the owner, who was very attentive and made conversation with us. Highly recommend to visit this place, whether it’s with your date, or with family.

5 /5 C L: Tried this place last night and had a really good experience. We ordered the Cajun seafood pasta, pork chop with collard greens, calamari, wings, mac and cheese, and apple empanadas for dessert - everything was well prepared and delicious. The roasted pineapple margaritas and seasonal cocktails were also excellent. Service was friendly and attentive. Brian, the owner, was welcoming. They have a main dining area plus a really cool 21+ speakeasy section. Good food, good drinks, good service. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Tanisha Macklin: This place is a can’t miss! I came here with some friends we ordered the pork loin, Cajun seafood pasta, fish and grits, risotto, broccolini, mac n cheese, and mushrooms. When I tell you everything was delicious I am not lying everything was so flavorful and delectable. Highly recommend all the meals. We got the Blueberry Basil Lemon Drop if you like a little sweet get it and highly recommend the Jal e Berry if you like a little spicy! The owner B and staff had amazing hospitality. This place is a must try. Call your friends l, shoot come alone but come hungry. You won’t regret it!

2 /5 Kira Cox: Food is amazing, got the pork loin, ribeye, au gratin potatoes and mac and cheese it was all excellent. It doesn’t appear that the management properly staffs the restaurant and this led to long wait times, it took 50 minutes after being seated for us to get our food and we had to go up to the bar to get soda refills because they don’t come by the tables. I don’t blame the waitresses but management definitely seems to have some problems. Go to Bar Bistro instead, better food and service. I’ve been going there for years and never had a bad experience
