The MercantilePleasant SurpriseGot info about the place on the internet and it sounded good and was in the area we were going to be in. Not sure how things were going to be when we finally arrived. Very unique, had a great waitess and service. Wine and drinks were great ans the food was very good. Our group really had a good time and we will def be back.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved this little spotOur food was delicious and we really enjoyed the decor, ambience, and service. We were drooling over the gelato display, but said no because we filled up on so much good stuff. Three of us shared 5 items from the salads, cheese and charcuterie, and oysters.
We were there at about 7:30 on a Saturday, so it was pretty quiet, not sure if it gets loud and crowded. Great for before or after a movie at Arclight.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMA fun place. On Cinco de MayoA fun place. On Cinco de Mayo we did brunch with another couple and had a great time. DJ set up next to us and explained what she was going to do and let us know it could be a bit noisy for us (we are all north of 65 years old) but the music turned out to be pleasant and not too loud. Bar and tables started to fill up with a younger crowd as morning turned to afternoon. Esoteric drinks were very good and food service and quality was very good. Great waitress.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMInteresting menu, excellentInteresting menu, excellent food. Small dining room. Service very good overall, but a little leisurely - maybe on purpose to allow enjoyment of wine? It is nice not to feel rushed. Great experience.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMI love this place. It's gotI love this place. It's got an "old world" wine bar feel. Cheese plates are great and there is a cold trout plate that is heavenly.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMthe bartenders were lovelythe bartenders were lovely and accomodating thanks for having us3/19/2013 12:00:00 AM
