Met some friends at Meridiem last night. It was very packed when we arrived and we were told it could be a long wait. We didn't mind and made our way to the bar. However within 10 minutes our hostess, Ivy approached and said our table was ready. While Ivy's role was technically over after she seated us, Ivy went above and beyond to ensure our experience was everything. Unfortunately due to the chaos of a Friday night on a holiday weekend, after our server introduced herself - we almost never saw her after that. She seemed to have little control over her many tables. While we all attempted to get her attention and or flag her down, she kept rushing past us and was fairly rude about her level of busy. Thankfully, Ivy never took her eye off our table. She was the one who took our order, made sure everything came out as ordered, and never left us with empty drinks for long. And it wasn't just us - Ivy made it look flawless to continue seating people while always checking in on tables, refreshing drinks where necessary and making sure everyone in the restaurant was happy and content. I would typically be furious with a waitress who was so absent and careless but thanks to Ivy, we never wanted for anything. I won't hesitate to return to Meridiem thanks to the treatment and service Ivy provided!
