Big Shakeup in Berwyn
Bistro M in Berwyn has closed its doors (so much for the planned Bistro M Wine Bar), and longtime Berwyn BYOB Meridith’s will be moving from its somewhat hidden current spot to the Bistro M location on route 30 later this month.

Hopefully Meredith’s will resolve some of its long-standing problems with quality of food, service and over-pricing during this move. If Bistro M, which was much better-albeit a tad more pricey, couldn’t survive the location, Meredith’s has little chance unless it improves significantly. The owners should finally address >2+ years of poor reviews. I hope so. It will take more than a change of location to make Meredith’s a destination.

Moving to Rt 30 would conceivably give Meridith’s a big traffic boost, but the Bistro M spot is about as hidden as a rt 30 restaurant can be — we drove by dozens of times before we even noticed it. Hopefully Meridith’s will figure out a way to remedy that.
As far as Meridith’s quality… though they had many, many problems early on, the last 2-3 times we’ve been there have been great, both for brunch and dinner. We’d encourage anyone who hasn’t been in a while to give them another look.

The location concerns are valid. I can’t count the number of times we’ve driven right past Bistro M without seeing it.

I don’t know how well things are going at Meredith’s new location, because the staff there seems intent on spreading a rumor that their Berwyn neighbor, San Nicola has closed. San Nicola closes for lunch in the summertime, but other than that, they are alive and well!!
