Contemporary American Restaurant in Manhattan

Manhattan's dining landscape demands excellence, and The Meridian rises to the occasion with inventive American plates that honor tradition while embracing innovation. Our seasonally rotating menu reflects the best of what the region offers.

About The Meridian

Situated in the cultural heart of Manhattan, The Meridian represents the next chapter in contemporary American cooking. Our kitchen team sources from a network of over forty regional purveyors — from Montauk dayboat fishermen to Catskill mushroom foragers — ensuring every ingredient arrives at peak flavor and freshness.

The result is a menu that feels both timeless and surprising. Dishes like our coal-roasted beets with whipped ricotta and black walnut, or our pan-seared Peconic Bay scallops with celery root and brown butter, showcase the depth and range of American terroir. Paired with our acclaimed cocktail program, dinner at The Meridian is an experience that captures the pulse of Manhattan dining.
