Best restaurant on the Outer Banks. The food is creative and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had shrimp with cous cous and a basil pesto and mahi mahi. 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

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.

Eight thumbs up! It takes a while to get there through beach traffic, but it is worth every scrumptious bite. The four of us ordered: salmon, paella, blue corn crusted fish, and crab cakes. The menu is kind of laughable, because each dish lists a huge batch of ingredients which seemed like it would make for murky presentation and/or muddy... more

Consistently great food, fresh ingredients, beautifully and imaginatively prepared. The signature sashimi tuna on wasabi cole slaw is my favorite dish in the world, and everything else lives up to that standard. I've eaten at Meridian many times and never had a bad meal--it's on a par, no kidding, with the infamous Inn at Little Washington. Highly recommended. more

I was really impressed with this place. My husband and I went here for our 1 year anniversary dinner on our trip out to Duck. From start to finish it was perfection...and I have very high standards having worked in the NYC restaurant industry. The celery and truffle risotto was like nothing i have ever tasted and was the highlight... more
