"I loved our Mother's Day lunch at Meritage! We got to order from the regular menu and were served very efficiently by Ted. The pace was perfect and the food was delicious. I prefer to avoid buffet lines and this worked out great. My ideal for Mother's Day: reservations, no waiting at all (table ready for us when we arrived), good service, great food."

"The noise level is very high - not just from customers but also from the shouting in the kitchen. Add to that a hyperactive waiter who told us, "no rush" about a dozen times and it was not a pleasant evening. The food just wasn't as good as the last time I was there - both pork chop and fish were tough."

"This was our first time at the restaurant. We arrived early and the hostess was able to seat us right away. We were greated immediatley by our waitress. She went over the menu and gave us recommendations for the meal. The wine menu gave a nice variation of reds and whites. We decided to on a bottle of Trullo Reisling that paired very well with the Chicken Diavolo and the Lobster. Be prepared to wait for your dinner but the wait is well worth it. The food was delicious! We will definately be back again and again!"

"Food service was SOOOO SLOW. they had some event in the bar going on Tuesday, and they clearly could not handle the amount of people we waited over 45min for dinner to arrive. They gave us 1 free desert for the table of 6, but perhaps cause they were ruining my Moms birthday dinner. I told the manager that came by that my asparagus was cold (after waiting 45min) and she said ah, and walked away."

"Our waiter Gary was very helpful. Meritage salad with a vinaigrette dressing was very tasty without overpowering. Filet mignon was perfectly prepared, topped with goat cheese, and accompanied by a huge, twice-baked potato I couldn't finish. Good wine list. Overall a nice experience. We were traveling through and found this via OT. Love the Internet!"

Great food, delicious wine, great music and the service is always top notch. My only complaint is I wish my wife cooked as well the Meritage. Kidding, Honey! ;) Meritage is a great establishment for Glendale, and Cincinnati!!! We're looking forward to our next visit."

"I had no idea that Meritage has a $25 3 course prix fixe for Seafood on Sundays and Tuesdays. It was wonderful! Their lobster tail was tender and perfectly cooked. I am following a paleo-ish diet and thought the choices worked really well with it. The wine pairings at $12 were wonderfully matched, too, and I tried new wines. We were accidentally overcharged, and our waiter called us at home and sent a gift certificate to make it up. I'm looking forward to going back and enjoying it again."

"We have been to Meritage a few times recently. It is always a pleasant experience and the food is always very good and fresh. The trio meals they offer on Sunday are great. Because of the space restraints there are some tables in the main dining room that are less than ideal (one right by kitchen door) but if there are also nice tables in bar area. We will certainly go back."

Service slowed after entrees were delivered. Manager comped the steak which was fair. Worth a second try."

"Had a great time at Meritage. Great food, great music and fantastic service. Cara makes fantastic drinks and is always friendly, Chip (GM) introduced himself to my friends who have never been there before. My friends were impressed that the GM was present and took the time to meet them and speak to them. Very friendly servers and the food was fantastic. My friends were very impressed and cannot wait to return! We will all be returning soon."

"The Meritage Salad - great! The bone-in veal - UNBELIEVABLE!!!! The NAPA Cabrinet - a perfect accompaniment! This gem of a spot not only has a great modern decor in an old restored home in downtown Glendale, but it also has the full package of great service and outstanding food! Did not try the appetizers or the desserts, but everyone in my group was happy with their soups, salads and entrees."

"We came in late on Valentine Day so the place was quiet. The romantic experience reminded us of our dating back in Philly during the 70's. I enjoyed the special wine package, per three course tasting (extra). The prepared pork chop was great as was the seafood dish (fish and shrimp)."

"THe food is why we keep coming back to this wonderful restaurant. Our server was relatively new (i.e. occasionally ough around the edges), but honored our request for a slow-paced meal and was good on providing suggestions off the menu."

"Wow! This was my first visit to Meritage and can't wait to return! I consider myself to be somewhat of a "foodie" and there were so many incredible items on the menu that it was difficult to choose! The menu reminded of a restaurant in Napa Valley. I ended up getting the seared scallops, which were cooked to perfection. Our server was very knowledgable on the extensive wine selections as well as the menu. The atmosphere very warm and inviting, as well as were the entire staff!"

"I was not impressed with our visit. The food was average, at best and our waiter was too noticeable. My guess is they were trained to make suggestion, etc., but it was just too much. I like a waiter that is there to help, but you don't notice them during the meal.
It was a bit noisy and hard to carry on a conversation. Although there were other empty booths, they sat additional customers on either side of our booth. Unfortunately, one group was loud. I also used the men's room and it did not appear to be heated. Not good on a night with low temps. My wife told me the same about the lady's room.
There are too many good restaurants in Cincinnati for me to recommend this one."

"Great find. Near my mother in law so we have another good dining choice in the area. Waiter was so nice and helpful. Wedge salad the best in the city. Tenderloin was better than that other famous steak restaurant on Delta!
Nice wine by the glass choices.
Chef's Mom came to the table and checked on us. Nice personal attention."
