time

She called at 4 pm to remind me of our meeting [at that night/later the night/the night/ ...].

Note: Assume the meeting took place last night at 9 pm, which option is the best or is there a more natural phrase?

Thanks!

Here is my try: She called at 4 pm to remind me of our meeting / at that night, yesterday night, before our metting at that night, before our meeting, before our meeting yesterday night, before our meeting at 9 pm, before 9 pm at that night, before 9 pm yesterday night etc.

... our meeting later that night or ... our meeting later that evening (higher register; i.e., more formal) is what you want.

If the meeting was tonight, could I say, "....our meeting tonight"? Or there's a more idiomatic phrase?

... our meeting (later) tonight is as idiomatic as you can get! (lateris optional.) I don't think there's a better way to say it.
