Meritage Reviews
Brunch is amazing.
by Cathi M.
The food and ambiance here is amazing. The staff was good with the exception of out waitress. At the beginning she was helpful but than she began to treat us like we were inconveniencing her .
by Alice J
Rude Hosts when restaurant was empty.
by Robert M.
Oysters will bring you a great date dinner.
by Mei N
The oysters are insanely fresh. You're gonna think you jumped off a pier somewhere in Massachusetts.
by Cole K.
Anything they do with pork is good.
by Jeff C.
The pan bagnat has a history in France of being the sandwich you sit on during your drive to a picnic. Meritage has kept that authentic taste (possibly better) without having the need to be sat on.
by City Pages Street Team
The tastes bring me to Paris every time. Love the Saturday plate of short ribs - tender and perfect. Ask for Peter's section - best waiter in town!
by Paul Crosby
Definitely brunch it up with the creamy delicious eggs coquette
by Yaz Mus

by Gina M.

Pomme Frites for dessert!
by Kirk W.
This brasserie is named after an American wine made in the Bordeaux tradition, which seems an accurate reflection of the restaurant's cooking.
by City Pages Street Team
Best French Onion Soup in town.
by Alex S.
Fantastic food and excellent service!
by Nancy H.
The best bet is a glass of white wine and an array of the amusements and introductions, including confit pig tongue, salmon rillettes, escargots, and potted foie gras mousse. [Eater 18 Member]

AMAZING PUMPKIN SOUP! Not cream based, but sooo creamy, pumpkiny...mmm.
by Jen B.
Not many vegan options but the pommes frites and organic greens salad were surprisingly tasty.
by M H.
Oysters and cocktails... Start there and everything else will be fantastic
by Chris S.
Phenomenal food. The oysters, mussels, chicken, and desserts were excellent. Will definitely go again.
by Jillian C.
Try their burger which was featured on the Pioneer Press list of Best Burgers in the Twin Cities in the "Power Lunch Burgers" category.
by Andrew W.
Good oysters for being land locked.
by Patrick G.
Closed Mondays!
by SL
The broth is rich with succulent chicken essence and seasoned with little leaves of dill. The carrots, cut into perfect, tiny dice, are just toothy enough to add some substance. It's a bowl of bliss!
by City Pages Street Team
Try the "ode to carl" after dinner drink!!! Its a liquid dessert, but much better.... coctails also known as "a cloudy night"

Voted top ten chicken wings! The result is an intensely chickeny chicken wing with a distinctly bacony flavor that yields the bone with the gentlest nudge.
by City Pages Street Team
Great happy hour pricing!
by Meghan H.
Best French - French food (besides fries) was in danger of becoming passé, until Meritage breathed in a little joie de vivre. There’s not much more fun than hanging in the oyster bar.

Great new bar!
by L J.
Try the oysters. The oyster bar is bringing in some real beauties. Imagine flavors that evoke cucumber, briny-salty air, and copper on the tongue.
by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine
HH I suggest the Charlotte Joy and oysters.
by Christopher S.
Four words; Salty. Caramel. Ice cream. Pop. Ok so that's five.
by Andy K.
The shrimp cocktail, made with wild-caught Pacific shrimp, is the best in town, hands down.
by Heavy Table
Come for brunch to experience their range. Start w/ the petite appetizer bites ($3/ea) for a smoked salmon blini or a granola yogurt parfait
by Metromix
Non- pretentious french food in the SP area? Could it be? - Heck yeah!
by Darshy N.
Some people like to add a shot of gin or vodka to their oyster-bloody-mary-shooters. Great hair of the dog for Sunday Brunch as well.
by Meritage B.
Meritage's weekend brunch beneigts - delicious!
by Katherine S.
Bloody Mary + beignets + moules frites = perfect brunch. Excellent people watching too. As a New Yorker visiting, I feel like I'm in a Scandanavian Brooklyn. Wonderful in every respect. A+ service
by Michael M.
The cassoule is absolutely superb and subtle. As close to French as they come in our neck of the woods.
by Heavy Table
Get a Nutella. Or get something else AND a Nutella. But get a Nutella.
by Ed K.
Try the half price wine on Sundays! Also a great recession/recovery Sunday 3-course prix fixe!!!
by Jared A
Go here for Moules Frites. Tremendous!
by Mike W.
Best brunch in the cities. Try the blood orange mimosas and any of the pastries.
by Brynn A.
Croque Madame is awesome!
by Brent Kastner
I've been here a number of times...NEVER disappointed. When making a reservation request a table by the windows...watching the city move in front of the restaurant is a big part of the experience.
by Anne Walztoni
cheese cart is wonderful
by Dot W.
The seared Minnesota foie gras with spiced cider reduction is a home run -- yes, it's an $18 appetizer, but it's $36 delicious.
by Heavy Table
With such a brilliant menu, it may seem like a crime to order a hamburger -- but DO IT! One of the best kept burger secrets of the Twin Cities!
by Jason S.
The cheese cart. OMG
