Meridien

We went for a glass of wine to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere here is incredible. Very comfortable with lots of various tables and chairs of different types arranged for great conversation. If you want to be more social, there is a large bar in addition to a large "public" table. Their wine list is quite extensive, with great descriptions for each of the wines. Our server offered tastes of any of them before we bought. They also have a full bar and a lot of nice cocktails on the menu. There was some really nice live music that started around 6pm which was really good. The food menu is geared around starters and small plates. We only tried the classic nuts, as we had other dinner plans, but the food offerings looked tasty. Our server was excellent. She checked back with us often and was super friendly. The manager even stopped by to check on us. They found out the previous day was my wife's birthday and brought us out two glasses of champagne and a dish of ice cream with a candle to celebrate. A very nice touch. I'd highly recommend checking out Meridien. We will definitely be back and could be tempted to become regulars.

Occasionally I like to take late night drives here and there in the greater Cincinnati area, and I decided to drive from Cincinnati up to South Dayton, which was my old stomping grounds, and I ended up at Meridien in Centerville.This cocktail bar was definitely somewhat quaint, and a little bit brighter inside than what we expected. The lights weren't bright, but they weren't dim either; rather the type of lights that they turn on when it's the last call for alcohol at the end of the night. You know what I mean? I didn't like the decor. Wasn't feeling it. My lady friend really liked it though. No man should be so persnickety about decor, I guess!However, at 11pm (they close at midnight) it seemed to have a moderate crowd there. They were kinda loud too. There wasn't much on the menu as far as food is concerned, but I did get a couple of small plates: classic BBQ wings and barbecue chicken flatbread. The wings were crispy and delicious. Flat Bread was bigger than I expected (like an 10 inch pizza), and it was also pretty darn good!To drink, my guest had a Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. Hmmm...she loved it, remarking that it made her feel like a "grown assed woman!". Oookaaay. LOLI had the House Sangria and it seemed a tad watered down. (Sad face).Meridien got great reviews on Yelp. I'll have to come again during the day.

Such a great place to go for tapas. The Brussels sprout flat bread and charred Caesar salad were the stand outs for me. Espresso martinis are decent. Definitely a great place for drinks, either date night or night with friends. The decor transports you into a chic, modern, maximalist city environment.

We wanted a light dinner, so decided to finally check out Meridien, since we had heard they specialize in small plates.The restaurant is bright with what I would describe as upscale retro furniture. Our server was cheerful and did an excellent job answering any questions and checking in on us. Unfortunately, she did have the job of letting us know that one out of a few specials was unavailable and two out of three desserts were unavailable as well. Early on a Saturday evening, that shouldn't happen.To start, we split their flight of french fries, which was a quite large serving of your choice of 3 flavors. We liked the lemon parmesan the best of the three we ordered, The rosemary & sea salt and the sage were indistinguishable, the could have used more herbs on both. We also got the black & bleu tenderloin crostini which was very tasty.

First time to see Meridien, I really like the vibe of the place, low key retro look with vintage seating. Cocktails are their specialty and my old fashion was very well made. We tried the flight of fries which was fun. Lemon Parmesan fries were the favorite, we had a hard time determining which was rosemary and which was sage. The filet crostini was very good and i would recommend it. I had a couple oysters which had a nice chili oil dipping sauce. Overall a fun place and a nice addition to South of town.

I think this place is over hyped. Came here with a couple ladies for drinks and the prices of the drinks are insane. I understand they want the upscale vibe but come on. We ordered the fry sampler and I'd rather go to Wendy's or Sheetz. The atmosphere was nice and the server was great but this place needs a reality check.

This is another great addition to the Uptown Centerville area. I'm blown away buy some of the reviews complaining about portion sizes. It's called SMALL PLATES!! You are supposed to order everything on the list unless you are by yourself. Anyway, we really enjoyed our first visit. The food was great, the wine was amazing, I got a pour of 18 year old Elijah Craig, and we got to meet the owners. Very nice people! They are still making adjustments as they just opened a week ago. Our service was excellent! They have music but the people noise sort of drowns that out. I'm not sure there is much you can do about that. We got the charred romaine wedge. It was excellent! The crab rangoon was very good and the sauce they make for it was really good. Lots of ginger. The veggie flatbread was on a tortilla which I wasnt a huge fan of but the flavors were really good. I loved the scallops! They had an excellent sear on them and perfect in the center. They just melt in your mouth. The Peruvian Aji Amarillo was so good! I think they did an excellent job rejuvinating this place. They gutted it! I think it turned out great! We will be regulars!

Our visit was fantastic! (Thank you!!) I had friends come in from out of state for the holidays, so we decided to make a reservation on Saturday Dec 16 @ 11 AM when they open for brunch.Gatsby vibe, delicious & unique food/bevs and perfect hospitality! With it being the holidays they have it decorated just beautifully...the facilities are extraordinary and the dining area has lots of separate seating arrangements, such as cushy chairs/lounges, not just uniform dining tables and chairs. Our waiter was extremely accommodating. I didn't get a picture of the other meal, but it was a frittata and mimosas which was absolutely raved about..I'm already looking forward to the next visit! Cheers!

Great service, great food, great drinks. recommended: scallops, rosemary fries, wedge & caesar salad, margherita flat bread, empire and uptown. Rhonda & Matt have really done a great job with this place. Plan on making this our new date night spot!

Great food, music upbeat without being too loud or taking away from the experience. Friendly and efficient staff. Reasonable prices. Well worth the trip.
