   Headlands Coastal Lodge is our favorite place to be on the Oregon Coast. One of the key reasons we like it so much is the Meridian Restaurant. The food is great, and the service is always first rate, friendly, and welcoming. We always look forward to coming back again.

   Best option in town for an anniversary celebration. Food was a little disappointing especially for the price.

   Our first time eating here. The restaurant itself is wonderful. The furnishings and fixtures are very stylish and cozy. We had the special, new york strip steak topped with crab and hollandaise. The food was visually stunning but, the taste didn't live up to the hype. For the price of $85, I expected a generous topping of crab but my serving was about a third of what we saw come out of the kitchen on other orders. The mashed potatoes were cold but good. Our server was wonderful and attentive.

   Fabulous views and well prepared seafood. Excellent service. Scallops were amazing. Ling cod was perfectly cooked, but red sauce was a little heavy for such a delicate fish. Caesar salad was generous and tasty with fresh anchovies, always a nice touch. Fresh bread was delicious, but not available without asking, which seemed odd in such a beautiful restaurant. All in all a lovely spot to celebrate my husband's birthday.

   Great ambiance and good food. A bit pricey for what you get though.

   Beautiful facility and gracious, warm and friendly staff. The food was quite good if slightly expensive for the Oregon coast. $35 for corkage and $29 for 6 oysters is among the highest prices statewide. The wait staff , especially MJ was above and beyond exceptional.

   Made Christmas reservations expecting to be able to order a nice meal and was informed that only the Happy Hour menu was available, very disappointing experience.

    We were looking for a special place for our Christmas meal. This was definitely not a good choice. The food was just OK and the temperature of the food was cool to cold. There was only one waitress on the floor and she was doing her absolute best, but it appeared that the kitchen was struggling. I sent my potato pancakes back to the kitchen as they were cold and everyone forgot about them until I had totally finished my meal. I had to ask where they were and they came back to me at that time. We didn’t eat until after three and we were still only allowed to order off of a brunch menu. After we ordered, it seemed they changed over to the dinner menu. The decor is nice. The facility is beautiful, but they were definitely not able to put together that special meal that you would like to celebrate the holiday. I would be very hesitant in recommending this restaurant to anyone.
