Contemporary American Restaurant in New York

The Meridian defines contemporary American dining in New York City with a menu that draws on global techniques and the finest regional ingredients. Every plate tells a story of modern culinary craft rooted in American tradition.

About The Meridian

At The Meridian, contemporary American cuisine is reimagined through the lens of global culinary traditions. Chef Marcus Bellamy's menu weaves together classical French technique, Japanese precision, and the bold flavors of the American South — all anchored by partnerships with farms and fisheries within 200 miles of Manhattan.

From our signature dry-aged wagyu with smoked bone marrow to delicate Hudson Valley foie gras with seasonal stone fruit, each dish captures the energy and ambition of New York itself. The dining room — with its warm walnut paneling and candlelit tables — provides an intimate setting for guests seeking a refined yet approachable evening.
