Both are OK, but I would use well in the second one.

The meeting went well. - (this is what I would say)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Of course an 'adverb'. It is modifying the verb 'went'.:oops:

Fine would work just fine, but well sounds more natural to me.

Usually when someone asks if the meeting went well, they are asking if the meeting was smoothly run, productive or successful..

But people can say it was a fine meeting.(enjoyable)
