Editorial Review for Meriwether's Restaurant – by Ivy Manning
In Short
A charming country-inn ambience is set with sage-green walls, dim light cast from antique fixtures and pictures from turn-of-the-century Portland. The multilevel dining room is warmed by grand fieldstone fireplaces. American comfort food includes crisp scallops with luscious lobster emulsion, creamy seafood chowder, and green salad with inventive additions like fresh herbs and jicama. Substantial entrees like the house-favorite tenderloin with truffle jus, and the slightly sweet squash ravioli are lovely.

9 AM: "So, table for two?" "No, six. Outside please." (six people all present) "Outside is reserved for a private event." "I think we'll have to go somewhere else ... the inside isn't great for the two year old ..." "You can come back at 1pm." .... wow.

Another new chef as of June 2008. Prices are inappropriate: $35 for a ribeye steak (that's ribeye, not filet), $15 for a bowl of fish stew, $20 for risotto with green peas, $14 for a bacon cheeseburger. On the lunch menu, spaghetti with a fresh tomato sauce is $16. Seriously. The food tastes pretty good, but the prices for relatively common dishes have become insulting. The chopped salad for $14 contains one slice of chopped bacon, about two ounces of chicken, and maybe an ounce of ham. It does arrive with two deviled egg halves, however, that are quite tasty. Otherwise, the outdoor garden is more beautiful than ever, and their cocktails are about the same price as you'd expect in any upscale venue. I'll continue to enjoy drinks in the garden, but will dine elsewhere. Service is generally excellent.
Pros: Beautiful setting, good service
Cons: Food is too expensive for the quality
