From its name alone, Meet seems like it would be the perfect place to take someone for a rib-eye. But it’s actually where you should take people who really like vegetables - or to convince people who think they don’t like vegetables otherwise. Some of our favorites on the all-vegan menu are the oyster mushroom calamari, the Big Yum bowl, and their queso. Meet gets pretty packed and wait times are usually inevitable (they don’t take bookings), but if you go later on you’ll find it easier to get a table, and you might make it for their late-night Happy Hour from 10pm until close (11pm weeknights or midnight on the weekend). It can get a bit rowdy on the later side, so it’s a fun place to go with friends and to offset all those vegetables with alcohol.
