A huge big thank you to Jono, Eddie and Staff @Merak for the outstanding meal on Friday night celebrating our 45th HRC school reunion for 32 girls!
The meal was absolutely delicious, the service outstanding, the setting perfect!
Thank you for making this special occasion so very memorable!
You wait a bit for your food if you don’t book a reservation, so id suggest booking before going. The restaurant is gorgeous and the stuff is amazing. The food is a 10/10 for me. I had the steak and sushi gosh I can’t stop thinking about it. As a result I’m planning on going today.
I recently enjoyed a lunch out with the ladies at Merak. We were greeted and seated, but they happily moved us when we changed our mind about being seated inside. Nothing was too much trouble. Service from Eddie was first class! I had the fillet medallions, which were sublime and the rest of our party’s food looked amazing too. The lamb ragu pasta looked delish and all the portions were generous for a lunch so, regrettably, there was no space for dessert. Will definitely be back to test out the rest of the tasty looking menu! No
