There is not a specific log to know It was restarted, but you can configure an alert to it when goes offline or you can check the connectivity history on Appliance status page.

We don't the option in Meraki Dashboard. May be Meraki support can give you the uptime of the devices.

Support can poll the device uptime. Alternatively, you can look through the event log for "Ethernet port carrier change" messages for all of the connected interfaces. For example, when I see that message for ports 1, 2, 3 (we generally don't connect anything to 4 & 5) all with the same timestamp, I know the device rebooted.
