Meadowlark - Dayton

This is a hidden gem! Tasty, chef inspired food using seasonal ingredients! Killer cocktail list and wine list! Curated vines! I had the soup du jour, lovely smooth squash, sweet with a kick of heat! I had the panzanella, elegant, seasonal vegetables, a vinaigrette that made you stand up and say 'wow! ' and trout, glorious and rich but light with a lovely sauce and garlic, buttery mashed potatoes. The chardonnay was an elevated experience, all the right notes and a classic finish. Pair this with great service and this is a hot hot, local spot!

You dont need 20 ingredients to make something good. We went here because Wheat Penny was to busy. Never. Again.

The food here is consistently excellent, and the portion sizes are great value. I’m a fan of the filet mignon and pork Jezebel, while my wife usually opts for the tacos. My only complaint is that they need to bring back the shrimp and grits from the seasonal menu!

Great wine selection. Their sandwiches are great and I always get the greens.

First, the food is the star. If you are writing half paragraphs in the menu on each item, it is clear that you are presenting some stellar food. I had the petit filet incredible, cooked to perfect medium with broccolini potatoes. Simply, delicious. Boyfriend had the Salmon with Blueberry butter, again simple and delicious. Second, we like to sit at the bar great drinks, great staff friendly and attentive. Lovely service. Third, this restaurant deserves a showcase space I think you come here for the food service, but the restaurant space itself could use an upgrade. Other than that, sitting at the bar we were happy with the atmosphere. The Best Restaurant in Dayton.
