Huge dinner place quite cozy but a little cold. We are upstairs around 8 past the dinner crowd. Had a nice guitar player playing some songs. We ordered a wedge salad was the best food we ate out of our dinner. I ordered the special baby back ribs with mac. Sauce was not very authentic and the ribs were dry didn't pop out. Mac and cheese was OK velveeta might be better. We also ordered a burger was a burger nothing to stand out.

Solid offering for lunch, only been to dinner once. Several sandwiches, all tasty and always one lunch special for the day. Bar area is nice and cozy, outside area is nice as well. Steve tends bar with the best of them, friendly, attentive and fast, gives honest recommendations. Pro tip - special price breaks on Thursday for drinks. Highly recommended!

The Prime Rib was delicious, the waitress was wonderful. I think that any establishment that serves salad, and the price for dinner is well over $50 should at least give you a choice of the salad dressing. I don't like Ranch or Blue cheese. French is my preference. I always tip well, otherwise I don't go, so the forced tip always turns me off. Otherwise I was pleased, my wife had the Blackened Salmon which was also delicious. Also I couldn't eat the baked potato since it had sour cream in it. So to conclude, I would have given 5 stars but as a total experience, I was not able to eat the salad nor

Wound up here after thee restaurant we booked (Vincenzos) abruptly closed for lack of help. Very pleasant experience. Really more of a neighborhood bar and hangout than a destination restaurant. Ate upstairs which has a nice bar and a couple of private rooms as well as a main dining area. Comfortable tables, well spaced out. Good service, attentive & prompt. We weren't rushed and were able to converse easily. Good salads ..the 4 of us split 2 adequately. The main courses were good although we thought the bbq rib special was a bit dried out. Fish entrees were good as was a huge

This is probably my 3rd time there and every time I am satisfied, nice staff! - today I ordered a to-go order for the first time and the lamb chops were a little undercooked for my liking so I seared them a little more at home but overall still an A+plus in my book Sidebar: To end the night, I drop my AirPods case and they roll into the sewer out front 😖😖😩 so although I paid for my $50 meal which was incredible- I still ultimately lost about $250! 😒😒

Perfect date night! We sat outside on their lit patio. The ambiance was nice but the food was even better.
The bone in ribeye covered with the house bleu cheese creme sauce and piled high with fried onion crisps .. AMAZING. I haven't had a steak that good at a restaurant in years .. no exaggeration.
Highly recommend.

Excellent restaurant. The chef is fantastic, the staff wonderful, and the ambiance friendly. I have always had a great meal here. I have eaten here many times and can't complain about anything. The prime rib is superb!!! Cream of mushroom soup the best I have ever had. The waitresses work hard to please you, which is nice during these short staffed times. Highly recommend.

Wonderful end to our short vacation.
Stopped for dinner looking for an upscale restaurant with a patio. Not disappointed!
We shared an appetizer of calamari which was delicious. On our waiter’s recommendation we split the day’s special, ribeye! Melt in your mouth good.
Quaint area with on and off street parking nearby.
We’ve already told some of our neighbors about the Meritage. So if you’re in the Cincinnati area don’t miss it.

We had a reservation for 7:30 and the table was ready pretty close to that time. The staff was super friendly and updated us on our wait time promptly. Communication with guests is extremely important to me and they were fantastic. I believe our server's name was Kristin and she was very knowledgeable and comfortable explaining specials and menu options to us. The food was fabulous (chicken div..something pasta and the rib eye) and the atmosphere was super clean and masked up. Not to mention the entire neighborhood is absolutely ADORABLE .. I love old towns.. I would absolutely recommend this spot

Not sure why I've grown up close to Glendale and have never eaten here. Yea I've pretty much been missing out. Mussels were perfectly placed in a delicious sauce, lamb was grilled and flavorful, crab cakes were tasty and the red sangria was a hitter as well (was better the first visit vs the second visit.) I did take my kids once and although they don't have a formal kids menu, she did tell me a list of items they can prepare for kids. I thought that was nice. Reminds me of a nice quaint neighborhood restaurant "where everybody knows your name."

My goodness! I have arrived at burger nirvana! I have frequented restaurants in Glendale, OH but haven't had much opportunity to try Meritage. I am so glad we finally made it out for a nice, quiet dinner. Our experience was amazing - from the first introduction, Meredith was ready with a refill or answers regarding daily specials. While reservations are not required, the weekends are pretty busy. Good to have your table ready - they do have a really comfortable bar you might have a glass of wine or cocktail while you are waiting. The appetizers were tempting - next time out, I'm having

We chose Meritage as our Valentine's Day date night spot and are so glad we did. Making a reservation was super easy. Service was fantastic. Food was even better. Started with calamari as our appetizer and I highly recommend it. We had the NY Strip with Demi glacé and Prime Rib special, with a wedge salad (to rave about) and Caesar salad. We are already planning our trip back.

Today my husband and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. We wanted to try something new and we came across this place on google. I must say their steak was amazing. I had the steak cooked medium well with mash potatoes. My husband had the lamb cooked medium well. Let me tell you how amazing the food was. So tasty.
(Wasn't a fan of the bread rolls)
But the food was amazing!!!! Must try this place. And Taylor took very good care of us.

My Mr and I were craving a good steak dinner. My Mr stumbled on the Meritage on Door Dash. Before we ordered we checked on the reviews on Yelp and were impressed so decided to go for it. I got the Filet Mignon cooked medium and it comes with a twice baked potato. My Mr got the Ny Strip cooked medium with a loaded baked potato.
We got our order in less than hour and were truly impressed with our meals. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the way we want. We didn't need steak sauce because it was seasoned and tasted delish the way it was. The potatoes were amazing and super huge! My twice
