Reviews Summary

The Meridian Bier Cafe & Restaurant offers a mixed dining experience, with some guests praising the fantastic food and friendly service, particularly highlighting generous portions and good value set menus. However, others have encountered significant issues with long wait times, undercooked or bland food, and poor service recovery when problems arise.

"Had halloumi salad, tuna sandwich, tomato soup, and salted caramel cheesecake 😋 👌🏻 😍 Special thanks to the folks and Eva, the place needs some renovation otherwise it's recommended"

"They've had a shocker here. Friday mid morning. This dark sludge was the bloody mary after the server firstly forgot to put any Worcester sauce (or so it seemed) , then proceeded to drown it with the stuff. Undrinkable. Never came near me once thereafter to ask how it was as it sat at the side my of my table untouched.

Partner requested OJ and coffee. She forgot the OJ. Then when delivered, we git an orange squash. Despite being charged for fresh orange.

Whilst still waiting for the food (the other reviews mentioning the show wait were spot on) I returned the undrinkable bloody Mary and got a bottle of beer, which was "comped".

Food arrived, 40 minutes after we arrived. There were only two tables with customers. The omelette was "fine" apparently. Though a little greasy.

The meridian spicy eggs were OK. Not sure what what a potato Scone nacho is other than a regular tattie scone cut in half. All the ingredients were decent, but didn't work as a combo. Eggs were overdone.

All in all, utterly underwhelming."

"Went for dinner tonight, haven't been for years and used to love the food, service was always good as well! But unfortunately just didn't live up to what it used to be in my eyes. After arriving and being sat we weren't seen too for about 20 minutes, understandably busy due to quiz. We ordered the tapas and wine deal, though unfortunately wished we hadn't! We waited roughly half an hour to 40 minutes for 6 tapas plates and a side of fries. Which would normally be alright if we seen loads of food coming out... we were sat where you could see into the kitchen door, one food order other than ours came out during our time there, we watched our plates sit on the pass for a little bit before being brought to us, seemed one of the chefs was a bit more interested in feeding themselves rather than serving other food. When the food came out only 5 of our tapas dishes came and the wrong fries also came, said about the fries and just to leave them as we had already waited a bit, the waitress left before we realised that one of our dishes were missing, after speaking to 2 members of staff regarding it we also decided to leave it. Sad to say it was a let down, everything was overly sweet, the sauces used for one of the dishes was to be 'al vino' but was more like a cheap marinara sauce, same with another dish that stated fresh chilli's and basil, none to be seen anywhere, chicken was dry no mustard which was again stated on the menu, only honey and over all such a let down. When letting the staff know at the end all we got was a lemonade taken off the bill and a sorry. Food was barely touched and we made it obvious regarding our thoughts. Just felt that it was an over all let down."
