Tonight was the evening before Christmas Eve. Everyone was in a festive mood. We met three friends we hadn’t seen in a while and everything was wonderful. My second time at Meritage this month.

Overall, a very nice dinner. For holiday, it would have been nice to have some classic holiday music vs the upbeat and kind of loud/distracting music. Also, holiday cocktails or menu features this week would surely have been a hit Loved the salads and the lamb. We’ll be back!

I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.
