    I crave this meal of 8 oz Filet, side of asparagus and a delicious glass off wine. It's not a frequent happening but always appreciate when it is properly cooked. Great staff / service, clean classic style, and a great pre-show spot before going to the Hanover Theater in Worcester.

    Outstanding. Our first time here; loved the chicken karaage, bao and seaweed salad; tuna on crispy rice; sushi and ramen. The shoyu ramen was a good starter entry with pork belly that just melted in your mouth. The spicy red wasn’t spicy; next time we’ll do some add-ons. Desserts were also fun and extra ambiance points for showing anime on the TVs. Highly recommend!

    Highly recommended winter experience! We enjoyed a wonderful family birthday celebration (5 guests) inside one of the rooftop restaurant’s igloos. The hostess seated us promptly at our reservation time and the restaurant was festively decorated for the holidays. It was a cold January evening and we were very comfortable inside the igloo with the lap blankets and warming stove - even without our coats. Service was great (thank you, Xavier) and the timing was appropriate for our two hour time slot. Craft cocktails and appetizers were creative and tasty (Brussels sprouts, birria queso and boom-boom shrimp). Main dishes (Japanese fried chicken, chicken teriyaki, Cajun chicken rigatoni) were very good. A couple of us wanted the cast iron roasted chicken but it was sold out. We had pre-ordered the chocolate dessert fondue and it was a nice way to top off our leisurely dinner. This was our first time trying the Mercantile and we all had a fabulous time! Location, garage parking and atmosphere worked well for our group. We’ll be back again for another igloo in the winter and are looking forward to meeting there during warmer weather, too.
