"Casual without a whiff of pretense, Emeril Lagasse’s Meril is a pleasant addition to his stable of restaurants. The menu’s salad offerings are vast, but one dish manages to stand out. For the famished, the fried chicken salad fills the bill. Made with crunchy iceberg, the mix includes grape tomatoes, apple-smoked bacon, blue cheese, and a zippy green goddess ranch." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
