We went here 4 years ago and it was amazing. We couldnt wait to go back. We went back and realized that the menu had completely changed....didnt sound as appealing. It was empty and the upstairs was closed. The veal was tastless. The portions were very small. The calamari was doughy and mushy...frozen for sure. Margaritas were $16.50, which they... more

We had heard about this restaurant by some of the people we had encountered on our recent trip to the Outer Banks, though for the first part of our stay we had a near impossible time locating where it was! We knew that it was in a strip mall, but kept driving by the particular one where it was located.... more

We called ahead for a reservation and were told the restaurant was under new management. The woman who answered could not tell us if the menu on the website was up to date. When we arrived, there was a sign on the door stating the restaurant was under new management but stated the date of new management as starting one... more

My wife and I went around this time last year--just now writing a review because we're getting ready to go back. At the time our son was not quite 1, and we had no baby-sitter, so I called and asked for a meal to go, which I imagine is an odd request for a sit-down, fine-dining establishment.

Both were excellent. The restaurant is located in a strip mall at the junction of 158 and 12, but you can still get a view of the ocean. more

If you are ever on the Outer Banks near Kitty Hawk, the Meridian 42 is an outstanding restaurant for fresh food, a wonderful and surprising combination of ingredients, attentive staff, and a relaxing meal. I have never said this about a restaurant, but this is one of the BEST Places on the east coast to eat a superbly prepared meal... more

The food here is consistently fantastic. The tuna sushimi app. is always my meal and its divine. The waitstaff, owners, chefs, etc...are so nice and great at what they do. more

Fabulous appetizers. The garlic infused olive oil was so good I'm going to recreate it at home. Drinks were decent. Service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. As the daughter of a chef and a waitress for 5 years, I know I can be overly critical. But, I was impressed at Meridian 42. I had the fondue app,... more
