4.7 / 5.0(753 reviews)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful experience at Meren! Our server, Mike, really made the evening special. He was attentive, kind, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his recommendations. On his suggestion, we ordered the paella, which was absolutely fantastic – packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and generous in portion. For dessert, Mike guided us toward the dark chocolate mousse, and it did not disappoint. It was rich, smooth, and one of the best we’ve ever had. What stood out most was Mike’s energy and attentiveness. He checked in at just the right moments, clearly cared that we were enjoying ourselves, and made us feel truly welcomed. We left feeling so satisfied and happy – both with the food and the warm, genuine service. Highly recommend Meren, and if you’re lucky enough to have Mike as your server, you’re in for a treat! Edgar was our waiter and he was simply superb. He was accommodating, knowledgeable, and very professional. He definitely took great care of us. We will be back if only for Edgar, but the food and spritz was also great. Edgar and Luis were amazing and the pool sampler was plenty.. Excellent music and ambiance for a Thursday evening.. thank you for making it so memorable!!!

Great service and awesome food. Paid the 30 $ pool fee each which we used for food and drinks pretty easily. Great spot to watch all the boat traffic come and go in a chill upscale atmosphere.
