Meritage Restaurant

For events big or small, I believe Meritage can easily handle them all. This elegant dining establishment situated right on the water features wonderful views of the harbor, spectacular service, and amazing menu selection. I came here for NYE, and had all my expectations met, with some even being exceeded! Course timing was perfect, and the ambiance was both intimate and welcoming. Those who are searching for a taste of the best of Boston need not look any further. If this was helpful, please consider a thumbs up. It would be greatly-appreciated!

An excellent and surprisingly affordable (compared to its peers) fine dining experience. The views of Boston Harbor and the airplanes taking off and landing at Logan are a lovely bonus. While they take their wines extremely seriously (the wine list has many bottles priced in the hundreds and even thousands of dollars), you can get a very enjoyable three-glass flight to go with your meal for about $25. Service is on par with the best fine dining available in Boston. Plating is amazingly playful, with (spoiler alert) dry ice coming with the scallops and the mushroom dish served on a beautiful wooden platter. All told, you can get out of there for $80 per person with wine, so quite reasonable for what you're getting. Highly recommended!

I recently went to Meritage with my wife for dinner on her birthday. It was an amazing experience and my wife has been on cloud-9 since. This is less a dinner out and more a dining experience. The staff are all top tier professional and offered a complimentary champagne and wrote a nice happy birthday note on the desert dish for the special occasion. My wife had an amazing view of the harbor which she loved as well. I saw some other reviews comment on the food quality. I can kind of understand as they don't season the way I think a lot of people anticipate. Everything is more about complimentary flavors and emphasizing the ingredients over adding gratuitous flavoring. If you like heavily salted or sugary food you might not be a fan. I found everything amazing though. Perfectly cooked and in unique combinations but not gimmicky. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and happy to entertain all our questions. They kept us updated on kitchen times and promptly removed used dishes. The small dishes offer a nice sample while the large dishes left both my wife and I satiated. We both felt well attended to without being badgered. While the prices are a high they are not unreasonable. I found myself almost considering it a bargain at the end of the night for the experience we had. If you're more price conscious like myself you might not find yourself here regularly but I highly recommend it for a special occasion and look forward to returning in the future.

The service was great. The drinks were fantastic. The food was expertly prepared. Easily the best meal I had in Boston recently. I really want to give this place 5 stars, but I can't because of the atmosphere. I have had a number of meals rivaling the one I had at Meritage, but those places didn't feel stuffy. Those places had extensive wine menus and sommeliers as well. They just didn't have the vibe. If you want to feel elegant then this will be your place, but if you just want a really good meal then this might feel like too much for you. It really is a nice restaurant. It's just not my kind of place.

Went with friends and did the 5 course menu with wine pairing (several chef extras at no charge). Excellent food, wine and service, with relaxing atmosphere and harbor view. Would definitely go back again for a special celebration. There are few restaurants that can match this place for quality, attention to detail and selection. The dishes were superb snd the wine selection perfect. My highest recommendation.

This was hands down the best meal I ever had! I went all in with the vineyard to table wine and food pairing, and my wife has a prix fixe meal without the wine, but she added a cheese tasting. Every course was creative, expertly paired, and totally delicious. We enjoy good food, but don't often splurge on fine dining, but this was more than worth the price of admission!!

Absolutely superb dining experience for actually reasonable prices. We went there for a dinner, casual dressed, only to discover everyone in fancy suits and dresses, but that was not a problem because everyone is welcome here! The appetizers were superb, especially the yellow tune, salmon tartar and the scallops. For main course we had fillet mignon and a pheasant, which were both delicacies. All deserts were no less good. The place has an enormous choice of wines and a good bar. The service is top notch and as in the best fine dining restaurants. Definitely check it out.

I was not impressed by Meritage. I had the halibut and it was very dry and didn't pair well with the rest of the plate. Another person had the lobster and it was chewy/overcooked. He would have preferred Luke's. The service was not exceptional- In both the appetizer course and main course they brought the wrong dish for someone at the table. Each person had to wait for the dish to be remade as the others ate or let their dish get cold. On the upside, the octopus was good.
