Loved the food and drinks, bit on the expensive side but worth it. Will go back for sure

Amazing food and great vibes!

Love coming in here for a girls night and sharing a bunch of apps and drinks! Don’t sleep on the brussel sprouts.

Update: Came in for breakfast and loved everything! Service was amazing as always!

Another pleasant visit to The Meeting House! Always recommend their eggs Benedict. Today we also tried the grilled cheese and cream of tomato. Highly recommend the soup. The sandwich is a lovely change from the typical grilled cheese. My only gripe is that it seemed like there didn’t seem to be enough filling in it and it felt like glorified toast. However I’m giving the benefit of the doubt this time. They had to remake it for me because I’m allergic to whole grain bread which the first sandwich was made with. I also recommend the With a twist as a pleasant difference from the usual mimosa. Also the gin and lavender tea was very good, but not for everyone as it’s on the stronger side with all the flavors.

The calamari here is excellent. They are properly seasoned with a wonderful sauce to accompany them. I also had the burger which was excellent. I enjoy a burger with 2 thinner patties than 1 thick patty sometimes and thats what you get. Fries were exceptional!

One of our favorite brunch spots! Honestly, one of our favorite places to visit in all of downtown Rochester. Food is delicious, cocktails are unique and crafty, and the staff is always great.

Cool vibe with an upbeat atmosphere. The mixologists did a wonderful job with our drinks. On the way to the bathrooms, I noticed the dining area in the back was a bit more intimate and less noisy. Our table next to the windows up front offered a good view of the busy street outside and bar area for some good people watching.

Our dinner was excellent! I would highly recommend the Mushrooms served with goats cheese. The French Onion Soup with Dumplings were not only unique but very tasty. Local friends decided they would most certainly be back but skip dessert next time. I thought the pistachio ice cream was nicely balanced between savory and sweet.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner with friends. Definitely get the chips and cheese dip, the miso sesame short ribs are amazing! The bread is phenomenal and the service was excellent.

Great private and well lit space. Plenty of room to mingle and move around. Service and food were great. There was a slight miscommunication with missing an item in the buffet but no one really noticed.

We were there for a significant birthday party. The staff were generous and friendly. The appetizers and buffet were outstanding. A great place to gather!

The Meeting House is a great spot in downtown Rochester with more of a swanky vibe than most other places downtown. All of their food is amazing and the atmosphere is relaxing and a bit loungy. Service is on point. Definitely check it out.

A smallish, semi rotating menu that always seems to have the best of what is in season. My day to day job is growing food, and I can tell you everything that has been served to me here is top quality. The servers are always fantastic too!

Wow! Great atmosphere. Trevor was our bartender and he was amazing. Great craftsmanship on the drinks and he had superb suggestions. My wife is gluten free and they had a dedicated fryer so that made it a destination for us now.

We recently moved back towards Rochester Hills, MI again, and today, we decided to revisit downtown's main street. Amid Japanese hibachi and American steakhouses and burger joints, The Meeting House stood out as the dining destination for our tastes.

Established in 2012, The Meeting House boasts locally sourced ingredients for its modern American menu. The interior has an industrial meets farmhouse aesthetic, like you'd see on HGTV's Fixer Upper.

We ordered a couple of the day's specials: Moroccan spiced chicken soup with chickpeas, and the fried brussel sprouts. My boyfriend ordered the dried blueberry salad and cauliflower tempura for his entree, and I had the shrimp and grits for mine. The generously portioned shrimp and grits included mustard greens, grilled ramps, cubes of pork belly and tender, juicy prawns. You also get a craft paper bag with what I believe are pretzel ends, no dips or butter, just lightly seasoned and fluffy bread sticks! :)

If my boyfriend hadn't already baked a chocolate cake at home, we would have ordered their interpretation of strawberry shortcake: biscuit bread pudding with chocolate mousse and strawberry jam. Yum!

So so good. We came here for brunch and (1) their drinks are great - highly recommend the spicy Bloody Mary and (2) their menu is awesome all around. I got the chicken and waffles - WOW. Some other dishes folks got were: blueberry waffles, shrimp and lobster Benedict, and salmon scramble. All were amazing!

Meeting house has always been a solid spot to enjoy a cocktail and some solid eats. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Looking forward to coming back!

The braised short ribs were awesome!

Sooo, date night and looking for dinner in a city we haven't frequented much. We decided on Rochester, MI home of The Meeting House.

We went around 8:00 p.m. and the restaurant was packed. There was approximately a half hour wait, which we gladly sat for.

While waiting one can't help but to admire the decor of the restaurant. It has a retro modern feel to it.

Once we were at our table the waitress was Johnny on the spot. We both ordered tasty cocktails and calamari for an appetizer. The appetizer was to our table within 10 minutes. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the garlic type sauce that came with it for dipping was amazing.

Onto the entrees, I had the French style meatballs and the lady had the rainbow trout. Both meals were deliciously prepared. I must say the rainbow trout was the best that I have ever had. The way it was slightly pan-fried with a decadent crisp was more than delectable.

We topped it off with coconut creme brulee. I must say that this was another successful date night in the books. Great job to The Meeting House. We hope to be meeting you again.

During the day they have ice sculptures of beautiful animals and cool pop references cut intricately into ice, then at night the whole town comes alive with vibrant lights hanging everywhere and the restaurants packed to the brim offering their best grub. Every shop showcases what makes this little strip special and you’ll find items you can’t find ANYWHERE else!

The food was amazingly good, even the veggie dishes. I would never say that about the veggie dishes as I am meat lover kind a guy, but they are doing something right. Our waitress was so lovely and thoughtful especially with our little baby. I can say this place is a must see and done place. Enjoy...
