Our overall experience was fine. The one issue we had was we had requested a high chair in our reservation but when we arrived we were informed that patrons are expected to bring their own high chair (not sure how we are supposed to lug our big high chair there). I was just surprised no one called to inform us of this as we put it in the notes and we would have cancelled our reservation had we known. Our baby did well being passed back and forth on our lap but it wasn't a very enjoyable experience especially since our meal was very expensive. I'm not sure if this is Mercato's way of deterring people from bringing their babies but unfortunately it will mean we won't be back because every other restaurant does offer high chairs so we would rather spend our money there.
