What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the solid food quality, particularly the burgers, flatbreads, and hearty salads. Many mention how the historic vibe of the interior adds a touch of charm. Service routinely gets high marks for being both efficient and accommodating, especially during peak hours. The convenient location is a major plus for guests attending events nearby.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the menu leans toward the traditional side—great if you love the classics, but not the place for adventurous cuisine. A few reviews mention that the restaurant can get busy during the post-work rush, so reservations or early arrival are a good idea on concert nights.

The Bottom Line

90th Meridian is a stylish, reliable choice for concert-goers who want great American food, a quick turnaround, and a location close to the action.
