Rude and Pompous Service, OK Food, Reservations Not Honored Read More On Citysearchby Restuarantguy at Citysearch 6/8/2011
Fantastic food! service! and wine! This restaurant ranks among the best I've ever been to - and that includes several Michelin starred restaurants in France. Our food was excellent, both in it's remarkable flavor and innovative combinations. My husband's steak was delectable - rare on the inside and a slight crisp to the outside. His lemon sole was fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. When I tasted my grilled foie gras, ... Read More On Citysearchhsmom21 9/6/2009

Beautiful Restaurant with Tremendous Views The Meritage Restaurant boasts one of the best views in all of Boston on the harbor. The decor is upscale and sophisticated. The service was tremendous. Each dish was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. One of the best meals in Boston, but pricey. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 1/25/2008
Why was I unimpressed? As a pescetarian (a veggie who eats fish), I refuse to go to crappy seafood places and only expect the highest quality when I dine out. Meritage is definitely a beautiful restaurant (with its twinkly lights smiling down on you from the ceiling; the view; the ridiculously long wine list), but the food? Eh. Not so much. Maybe my tastebuds were off because I felt bad asking my date take me to such a... Read More On Citysearchk1peters 12/19/2007

Great Restaurant Week Menu My bf and I went to Meritage last night for the restaurant week menu and were soooo impressed. There were about 4 or 5 choices each for the appetizer, entre, and dessert, all from the normal menu. I had to ask the waitress if this was the prix fix menu, cause I couldn't believe it. I had the fried soft shell crab for starter, which was so good, i wanted that for my main meal, and my bf had the s... Read More On Citysearchbeily 8/16/2006
Unexpectedly one of the BEST dining experiences ever... My family was in town for a long weekend so I had wanted to make reservations at a restaurant that had a nice view. We had already been to the Top of the Hub and so I had decided that a place with a water view would be nice. This restaurant was fantastic. The staff was very attentive, we were seated promptly. You can have the option of ordering small plates and large plates which is good for ... Read More On Citysearchbostonlw77 8/9/2006
Excellent Service and a Great Wine List Two of my friends and I went to the Meritage on a Wednesday early on in the night for one of my friends birthdays. We arrived ahead of reservationt time and were seated promptly(the restaurant was empty). The service was excellent, the wine list was superb and the food was wonderful. My friends beef was more well done than she had wanted but the immediately took it off the bill (she didn't wan... Read More On Citysearchlisch 6/27/2006
Poor service, average food, great wine list. I hosted a dinner party at Meritage for 6 guests. When we arrived our table was not ready because they were "extremely busy" even though there was only 4 out of probably 20-30 tables with 2-4 guests each. The service was rude and hurried. The waitress provided a very brief and unhelpful explanation of the menu. The wine list is quit extensive which contains terrific options in most price ran...

Go somewhere else for brunch If I wanted to have eggs cheese and bagels and be ignored by the waitstaff I'd go to McDonalds. For a $40 brunch buffet, the waitstaff only came out with 3 small plates in the 2.5 hours we were there. The rest of the time we had no choice but to fill ourselves with well-presented diner food like bagels and eggs. The waitstaff were attentive enough to refold our napkins, but failed to fill our gla... Read More On Citysearchghoties 5/21/2004
A room with a view The decor and view were stunning but I go back to a restaurant for the food. The lighted bar was complemented by an excellent list of wine and liquors, enought to make it my cheers.
The variety and quality of the food is outstanding. The concept of small portions of everything for $14 is unique and makes going out a fun adventure.
My lasting impression is dining at Meritage is a great w... Read More On Citysearchjkronauge 9/3/2003
Better than The Fed, in my book On Thursday night, I went to The Federalist with four others, and we each ordered an appetizer, entree and dessert and shared. On Friday night, I did the tasting menu at Meritage. I thought the service and food at Meritage were both superior.
Perhaps Meritage was just hitting on all cylinders that right, but each course, the endive salad, the soft shell crab, the guinea hen, the cheese co... Read More On Citysearchtheduke37 5/19/2003
Cool setting I thought Meritage had a cool atmosphere and offered a great view, but the food was just average. The small/large plate concept was unique and allowed everyone to share both different appetizers and entrees. The wine list was excellent and the service was attentive and helpful. I would recommend it to someone to try just once, but that is all. Read More On Citysearchlmc81 3/24/2003
A dining paradise. I was very impressed with the artistic creations in both the food and the decor, in addition to the attentive waitstaff, and the overall atmosphere of my dining experience. Read More On Citysearchmaecurran 1/31/2003
