    Very nice restaurant, service was good. Food was very very below expectations. We had escargot to start, very bland. Ricotta and honey which was okay. For entree we had duck confit, duck was good, the veggies were bland and boring. Presentation was not there, for the price definitely not worth it.
    Mercat BistroResponded on June 8, 2025
    We appreciate your feedback, Ricardo. We're disappointed to hear that our food didn't meet your expectations. We'll discuss your points with our culinary team, and we hope that you will grant us another opportunity. Please reach out to us if you'd like to discuss this further.

    We had dinner in the Gazebo at 6:30 pm on Saturday. It started off very quiet, although by the end of dinner the ambiance and noise level became lively, but not disruptive. Our before-dinner cocktails were excellent. We ordered fried artichokes with lemon aioli and Brussel sprouts for the table, both of which were very tasty. For entrées we had moules frites, stripped bass meunière and grilled salmon. All of these dishes were superb. The wine selection is good. I was looking for a French chablis by the glass, but this wasn't offered.
    Mercat BistroResponded on June 9, 2025
    Thank you for your five-star review, Steven! We're glad that you enjoyed our cocktails and food. We do offer French chardonnay by the glass, although not from Chablis. We hope to see you again soon!
