    Stuffed mushrooms & amazing crab dip
    LaTasha I.

    Ambiance is amazing! Servers and Owner are welcoming and down to earth. Yall have to try this roasted pineapple margarita 10/10. The crab dip will make you want more and the stuffed mushrooms sitting on top some sweet chili sauce was great. Now for the entrees, we had the seafood cajan pasta and the catfish sitting on some flavorful grits and greens 10/10. We'll definitely be back to try more. Great night. #themeridiansouth.hill

    Blank table due to very poor service!  We walked out after 20 minutes.

    We came here for the first time for drinks and small plates. There was a birthday party, but it was still not that bad of a crowd for five employees and the kitchen staff. We were sat, no water was brought to our table for about ten minutes. Then finally the water arrived and we placed our drink order. That was the last we saw of the employees. Two of them constantly looking at the computer, two ladies talking behind the bar, and one girl catering to the party. I don't think they can handle being in business. Someone needs to teach them how to run a bar and restaurant. I don't recommend this place and I am not planning on ever giving them any business!

    Decided to try this new place in Puyallup. It's in the old Mexican restaurant location off 120Th and Meridian. Its remodeling is done well and has that fun speakeasy vibe. The day we went they were have a few issues but the food like the Apple Cider brined Airline chicken and Pork Chop. As dishes go they were good but could use some improvement as the carrots needed to be cooked more but the glaze was good as were the potatoes. The dessert Empanadas (apple) are yummy with e caramel sauce. The Strawberry Shortcake can use a little work. Service was very good and both owners were doing table touches and waiting on customers. Overall great service. Ok a 5 rating with this review you ask, yes. It's a new place and things happen. So we will be back.

    This is the best keep secret in Puyallup right now. Everything was spectacular. The menu doesn't try to do everything which makes everything amazingly tasty. And, the curated drinks!! Try the Key Ljme Martini. You will not be disappointed! #themeridiansouth.hill @themeridiansouth.hill #buzzybooth

    The ambiance once you enter the door is yours to make: you can either choose the traditional and more family friendly side of this establishment, or you can choose to enter into their speak-easy part. Despite this being a newer restaurant, the service was very professional with a family-home style hospitality. The staff was completely transparent on what type of wait times to expect during your entire visit as their farm-to-table style of service does take a bit more longer than commonly expected times at other big-chaim restaurants. The drinks and food were both memorably delicious!

    Cider brined chicken
    M G.

    We didn't exactly get the speakeasy vibe we were looking for (it was a slow Sunday and the host said they had the secret sliding bookshelf/bar entry door open already when we got there). But once you get into the bar area, it does have the 1920s/prohibition vibe going.. music was good. And the food was on point! For starters, we got the seafood dip, which was warm n cheesy.. we also got the steak Diablo. I thought it was going to be a plate of steak and baguettes with sauce but it was more of a stew or soup that the strips of steak sat in, but still yummy. I got the cider brined chicken for dinner which was deliciousssss Drinks are good and the staff is friendly. Def worth a try!

    If you're looking for a good time with great food and an unforgettable vibe, The Meridian is where it's at! The space is absolutely beautiful, the food is top-tier, and the drinks? Let's just say you won't forget them anytime soon. It's also a total photo moment--between their chic photo booth and stylish mirror setup, you can capture memories you'll want to relive again and again. Fresh, new, and such a welcome addition to Puyallup, The Meridian delivers on every level. And the heart behind it all? The incredible staff and owners--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about making your experience special. I already can't wait for my next visit!

    We drove by in the morning and noticed a new restaurant we looked it up on line and decided to come back and give it a try for dinner since they opened at 4. The drinks were good and our entrees were also good . I had the Cajun seafood pasta it had good flavor and lots of shrimp. We also ordered a appetizer the calamari,but we do not recommend the calamari it was over cooked crumbs. The service was friendly and she took the calamari off our bill since we didn't like it. It was a nice atmosphere. We will definitely be going back.

    So happy to find this place. Place is super cute and has a speakeasy , Photo Booth that you can take pics of you and send directly to your phone ! Food was also super good ! Delicious , great drinks , everything is well priced , the only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star because the service is slow , I'm sure with recruiting more staff it will run more smoothly ! Since it's a newer place it will take a year or so to smooth out the service part ! Def will go back again and again !

    Fried Catfish & Southern Grits
    Sarah K.

    My boyfriend ordered the Fried Catfish & Southern Grits and I ordered the Cajun Seafood Pasta. We also ordered the Steak Diablo as an app (not pictured). All three dishes were packed with flavor! And the collard greens and diablo sauce had a little spicy kick. The waitress was quick, friendly, and accommodating to allergies. We will def be coming back

Seating is limited, but the bar is fully stocked! We ordered the chicken caesar salad and the Lil Saigon Sliders.

The sliders bring everything you love about a banh mi to a mini slider that is the perfect snack size (although, they were so good we ended up ordering another) Our waitress was super kind and helpful with ordering, even suggesting a cocktail that was delicious.

The waitress even mentioned it was hot in this room and when we commented on it she just said yeah it sucks. I have Celiac so this is not a dietary choice, it's a medical restriction. I asked about gluten free options and she said nothing is gluten free (even though the website says it gluten free options available). She then said the best option for me would be the mushrooms or the wings because they are lightly breaded and she is gluten free and does well with those. We paid for our drinks and left. I won't be coming back and it's not because of the menu.

We dialed in so that the hidden door could be opened and let us pass. This a great looking place hidden away in Stadium. The drinks menu is extensive and the galley menu looks great. Our party of three was seated at a two-top but that may have been because we accidentally made reservations for two and then emailed about a change. We ordered two Viking Fogcutters and a Miskatonic Mistake for drinking along with some focaccia and deviled eggs for munching. That pretty much fills the entire table. The drinks were great! The bread and eggs were very tasty. The focaccia was super fluffy and warm. We added three salmon chowders to eat after devouring the eggs and focaccia. The three large bowls barely fit on the table but we made it work. The chowder and biscuits were awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful (certainly not part of the Esoteric Order of Dagon).

Ambiance is korean pocha/late night bar setting and they are open until 2am! There's limited seating during their busy hours so definitely come earlier if you can. Lots of parking outside. Everytime I visit here, I ALWAYS get the creamy bulgolgi udon. This dish is super unique and I've never seen it elsewhere. The sauce is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the bouncy/chewy udon and well marinated bulgolgi. The pork belly kimchi udon is good as well if you like a spicy kick. We also ordered the half and half fried chicken (original and yangnyeom) and it was perfectly crispy and juicy on the inside!

I would skip the overcooked wings next time, but I highly recommend diving into the udon.
