• Contemporary American • Downtown Crossing
Booked 21 times today
The Merchant is a big space that served for more than a century as a leather store. We've brought in high-top tables near the windows ... a 40-foot bar on one side of the room … and more formal dining spots on the opposite side. We have a private dining room in back, and another private dining room downstairs. For our menu, we make almost all of our fare from scratch. Executive chef Ignacio Lopez previously worked at both Beat Hotel in Cambridge and Tuscan Kitchen in Burlington. Chef Lopez cures and smokes all the meat in house. Our burger is top-notch, as are other dishes like house-made Gnochhi, Organic Chicken Milanaise and Steak Frites. The Merchant serves salads, sandwiches ($15-$21), and more for the lunch rush. And for dinner, we are a full-service brasserie (with most entrees ranging from $25-$30). The bar has 30+ rotating beers on tap, many of them locally brewed, plus a full selection of craft cocktails to serve our patrons, including the after-work crowd.

    Absolutely amazing experience! It was my husbands 30th birthday and wanted to treat him to a nice streak dinner while on our weekend trip to Boston. I put this in the comments in OpenTable and they printed menus with his birthday on it! They also put candles on dessert at the end of the night with an extra dessert. Phenomenal staff (Lucas was particularly wonderful), phenomenal food, phenomenal experience. Can’t wait to come back next time we come to Boston!

    The appetizer mussels were pretty plain. I expected wine, garlic, butter…and didn’t taste any of that, even though I could see some garlic. The entrees though, were fabulous! I had the lamb massaman that was so tender it melted in my mouth, and the curry was delicious. My son had the duck,and everything in the bowl was yum, especially the broth.dessert was the vanilla salted caramel lava cake. While the sauce was way too sweet for me, the cake was delicate and so good. My hot and dirty martini was perfect. I would recommend this place.
