Went there on a Tuesday night and got a heck of a deal. Great food, for a reasonable price. We were lucky and got there during a special, otherwise it probably would have been pretty expensive. Service was adequate, but the food was amazing. I will definitely going back there for the Lobster Mac & Cheese.

Went to Meridian 54 last night. We found the food to be pretty good, but definitely not memorable. I had the pecan salmon, which was a little dry but covered in a really good, sweet sauce. The wife had the "cheesesteak" which is london broil over orecchiette. The orecchiette was missing when her entre came, but the server quickly got the kitchen to make her the pasta as a side dish. Her steak was decent, but tasted as if it had been cooked earlier and reheated. The service was really good. My main gripe is that they seem to be trying to do too much. The menu is HUGE, with a really large variety of food. While that can be a good thing, it can also lead to merely ok food because the restaurant is spreading itself so thin. I think that was our experience. I may give it a try for brunch, as lots of people on this site seem to love the brunch there.

AWESOME BRUNCH!

My girlfriend and our friends have all been to Meridian 54 on many occasions and have always had a great experience. We have been so many times in fact I recognize the previous employee who posted and the bartender she mentioned. The food was great as was the ambiance. Never had a problem with flies or mold or we would have never come back and probably would have made a call to the health department. LOL. Great food and great restaurant would recommend to anyone.

I was the very first person that this place hired when they opened. The food is fantastic, but the owners are not. They tend to overseat the dining room, regardless of people who may have reservations or how many servers are there, which causes the kitchen to get backed up. Food can take over an hour or more, so be prepared.
For the most part, the servers I worked with are pretty great and attempt to learn the menu, which is nice considering they aren't even given an hourly wage. Most of the bartenders rock as well, and will go out of their way to fix you up something unique, especially Colleen, who has a delicious Birthday Cake martini.
Unfortunately, M54 is ALWAYS out of something. Last week, there wasn't a single draft beer on tap, and they had to go to the liquor store to buy cases of domestics to stock the coolers. If it's not beer, then it's wine (from a wine list that is never the same two weeks in a row), or liquor that they're out of. Instead of reciting customers the specials, they are given a list of items that aren't available, which is what happens when you don't pay your purveyors.
The "waterfalls" that separate the dining areas are always clogged, but turned on anyway, and spray all over the tables and benches. The upholstery in the front dining room has been soaked so many times, you can smell it. The place is much sunnier and brighter than the old Red Fish, but still has a lot of work to be done, considering the ceiling just caved in on the dining tables a few weeks ago, and the mayfly infestation that showed up one morning.
The food is really quite fantastic, and I hope the Chef gets the chance to move on to a place that has it together, because I think he could go far with his creations. This place has a lot of potential and could be something that Baltimore raved about, if it weren't run by the same people who drove Red Fish into the disgusting, newsworthy mess it became. The food would get 5 stars, if it weren't for the dozens and dozens of other problems that make this place avoidable.

Meridian 54 has become my favorite new place for brunch. $12.95 for all your care to drink Bloodys, Mimosas and/or Sangria, as well as an entree off of their brunch menu. The food portions are enormous, and the food is delicious. The menu and both breakfast fare (Irish breakfast, omelettes, chipped beef, eggs benedict, etc) and more lunch-y items like the Double 'B' LT, which features awesome fried tomatoes, the Wagyu burger, and the Jumbo Shrimp salad sandwich. I suggest getting there early, they open at 10:30, as the portions and drink potency tend to dwindle as the morning wears on. Overall, highly recommended.

Meridian 54 makes a top notch place for lunch. Easy on-street parking, good location, attractive decor, great service. Best of all, wonderful food. Started with soup du jour which on Monday was Roasted Garlic Chicken, attractively served in a good sized white china crock. Lots of bite-sized chicken pieces and very flavorful. My friend had the jumbo shirimp salad sandwich served on crusty sour-dough bread which she said was delicious. I had the Apple-chicken salad with field greens and brie served on focaccia bread. really flavorful combination. All sandwiches are served with choice of chips, fries, fresh fruit or German Potato Salad. Don't miss the Potato Salad! Not your typical German style, as it does contain a small amount of mayonaise; taste is like a combination of Red Potato and German. Best of both.So many delicious sounding choices on both the lunch and lite-fare menus, that this will be a surely frequent repeat restaurant. Our server was Michelle, charming and efficient.

I was sketchy about going to the place considering the place that previously occupied here was terrible. After a friend recommended it, I tried it. The food was very good and very reasonably priced. They have a sweet brunch special I am going to try this weekend. $12.95 for your meal and all you can drink mimosas and bloody marys.
