Just a wonderful white linen table cloth dining experience. They accommodated my request of my wife's gluten intolerance and made the appropriate changes to the menu items. The chef's tasting menu was awesome and the service impeccable.

Every time i sit at this restaurant is such a treat. The food is always very thoughtful and meticulously presented. Please ask Jeremy which wine is best to be paired with your order. Enjoy.

Joseph was the chef who took care of my omakase. He was brilliant and took such care. The food was delicious. James, the maître d’, was wonderful, kind and attentive. The entire team was superb. Highly recommend Meadowrue’s 12-course omakase experience!

This was our second visit in just over a month, and we tried a completely different combination of dishes. Everything was delicious. The Burrata, Escarole, Shrimp Fritters, Trout, Pasta, Kimchi-laced spaghetti, Corn Meal Cookie, and Briwn Butter Cake! Our favorites were the Burrata, Escarole, Trout, Kim children spaghetti, and cake.
