Meet Me Here Restaurant and Bar 564 Middlebury Road, Middlebury, CT 06762

"I have no idea how this restaurant received so many good reviews. The food was simply mediocre at exceptional food prices. We literally had to spit out the raw oysters and had stomach issues the next morning. The pork chop was overcooked and therefore dry, probably because they butterflied it (like a diner would do). I specifically told the waiter that I did not want the pork chop to be well done and dry, and he assured me it would be slightly pink but it was not. When he asked how the pork chop was, after my response, he didn't even stop at the table to discuss it, he just sprinted by and said "oh, sorry". When we told him about the oysters smelling and tasting bad, he offered us dessert free of charge, but we just wanted to inform the kitchen so they wouldn't serve them to anyone else. The waiter's response was that the other table loved them. Seafood should not smell bad and certainly not taste bad. In the end, the waiter took the price of the oysters off the bill and comped our drinks which was the decent thing to do, but the whole ordeal was very uncomfortable. He also did not return with our take home leftovers, which was ok, because as I've said, the food was mediocre. But the place was cozy with a nice outdoor dining area, albeit noisy, so I would just stick with drinks and maybe small bites."

"Had a great time here last night! We enjoyed the calamari to start and I had the grilled salmon for dinner, and I cannot wait to go back just to have this again! Everyone enjoyed their meals, and service was kind and attentive as well (thank you, Gary!)"

"The "Meet Me Here Burger" was fantastic. I tried the Polenta Fries because they looked interesting but didn't care for them. But you have to try new things. My wife had the "Braised Short Ribs"...Outstanding!"

"A place where locals meet and where the owner and staff knows your name and what your favorite dishes are. Our usual waitress Sherry is one of the most kind, friendly and efficient person we've ever met. The place is small, low key, unassuming but the food, atmosphere and service are beyond the expectations. Reservations are a must."

"Stopped here for a New Year's lunch and I thoroughly enjoyed everything that I ordered. The lemon pepper salmon was not only amazing in flavor, but, aesthetically pleasing as well. Also, the Whiteout Martini was unbelievably good."
