Mercat is a great place for a romantic dinner, a small group, patio seating and pre-show meals. The food and drinks are great, service has always been excellent and we’ve made it a regular spot when we’re downtown.
We just enjoyed a great dinner tonight. We were lucky to have Leo as our personable server. He made the evening so nice- taking note of a nut allergy, pacing our meal perfectly and even asking the chef to make a quiche that is usually only served at brunch. We were a little worried about going out now, but tables were far apart and people were spaced well. This is a great spot to eat, especially now.

Timothy is a great person to help a person have a great meal
So nice sitting on the patio with a beautiful park nearby. Food and drinks are always great.
Brunch on Saturday was wonderful, can't wait to go back to enjoy their regular lunch or dinner menu!!!!
The best Quiche I’ve ever had!!
We went there for a quick meal before a Mavericks game. The food was very good and it was an easy walk to AA Center.
Pesce Mignon drink is AMAZING!!
Mercat is one of our longstanding favorites. We enjoy everything about our dinners there. If you don't know Brunch is excellent here as well. It has a wonderful French ambiance and they are always indulgent about our preference for a leisurely dinner.
Wonderful service
Wonderfully ambient, exceptional service and fantastic food.
Everything fabulous. Service. good, ambiance can’t wait to go back
I really enjoyed both Mercat for breakfast and dinner. They accommodated my dietary restrictions and still produced outstanding dishes. Great setting for a girls night, date, etc. I will be back!
NYE menu was perfect!
The food and the service were really good. We really enjoyed the pastries.
Dear Caroam, Thank you for the awesome review!! We are always looking for ways to improve and would love to get that 5th star next time. Best, Karsen Restaurant Manager
Food is very good. Service was not. Initially I wasn’t given a drink menu, had to ask for one. I requested ketchup with my fries & never got it. I also ordered a cortado & was given a cappuccino. That was disappointing.
Worst service ever. We were having our annual girls lunch at Mercat like we have done in years past. What a disappointment. We waited 30 minutes for the cheese and honey appetizer. It literally is a small slice of cheese and honey. Not to difficult to prepare. Then finally got to order. It took forever. We could not get refills of water .... had to ask anyone walking by. They we wanted to leave and had to go track our waitress down !!!!
There are too many amazing places in Dallas to spend your time and money there.
Sad
Food and service were great. I would go back again.
Christmas brunch with family and friends after a special church service.
Another awesome meal, first time for brunch did not disappoint
Mercat is being added to our regular circle.
Thank you
Had a wonderful Saturday date night starting at around 6pm. We ordered the escargot, crabcake appetizer, French onion soup, side salad, scallops, and creme brûlée. Everything was delicious. Could’ve used another small slice of bread or two to eat with the escargot and soak up the butter. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed how quiet it was but it definitely started to fill in and get louder by the time we left around 7:15pm. We topped off the evening with espresso which was also good. We will be back.
We had our Christmas luncheon for 16 people and were fortunate enough to be seated in an area surrounded by white Christmas trees and animated bears. It was so special!
The food and service were excellent!
Absolutely delightful! We ordered the pancakes and the crepes, and both were light and airy! Would highly recommend, especially around Christmas 🎄✨
Always great! Love coming here, charming dining room, nice staff!
A Dallas favorite - feels like you’re in Paris
Yummy food. Went as part of a girls weekend, so was great for brunch. Fun French atmosphere and delicious drinks.
We celebrated our Anniversary here. The GM, Cinthia, was so kind to treat for a drink since my steak was over cooked. The second try was perfect and delicious! The server brought a cheesecake for dessert too. All ended beautifully! We will surely go back!
great place ,great food,easy to get to nice Sunday branch good for a nice quite dinner or bithday party

Our waiter was great and the food was amazing.
Hi There! Thank you for leaving this great review! See you next time Best, Karsen Restaurant Manager
Once we got in to the restaurant, things were good. However, the parking situation is a complete disaster. The only way I'd go back is if I used a car service to get me there and pick me up. It's really a shame, too, because the place is worth checking out.
Hi LuckyLuke, While I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here, I am so sorry about the parking situation. We understand that it's not the easiest. We do offer complementary valet in order to alleviate some of this frustration. I do hope that we can make it up to you. Please contact me directly. Thank you, Karsen Restaurant Manager
One of my favorite spots in town. Everything is so good!!!
Violeta, This review means so much to us. Thank you for coming, we can't wait to have you back in! Best, Karsen Restaurant Manager
I expected good food, but found the meal bland. I grill a better steak at home. Asparagus had no seasoning just salt and butter. There are chefs and there are cooks. Where is the chef?
Hello Russell, I am so sorry about your visit and the steak. I would like to hear more about this, if you are willing to talk. We would love the opportunity to make this right for you. Best, Karsen Restaurant Manager
Great ambience inside the restaurant. Food was good. Service was excellent-very friendly and personable. I don’t like the parking situation. Garage spaces for visitors are hard to come by unless they’re on the upper floors.
Hi There Thank you for your recent visit as well as leaving this great review for Mercat. I am so sorry about the parking though. We understand that it can cause some frustration from time to time. Please know that we offer complementary valet at 2550 Harry Hines BLVD all the time, as well as right outside our front door for nights and weekends. I hope this helps! See you next time Karsen Restaurant Manager
Pasta night doesn't disappoint. The food was so yummy! Add steak to your pasta for sure. The service was fine.
Hello, Thank you for your recent visit. We are so happy you enjoyed the tableside pasta! If you are willing, I would like to hear a little more about your experience. Please feel free to email me (see attached) Thanks! Karsen Restaurant Manager
Impeccable service and great good!
Hello, Thank you for leaving this awesome review! I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with us! Best, Karsen Restaurant Manager
Always a winner for a special occasion or bringing out of towners to brunch. Parking is always a challenge and the restroom situation is weird, but food, ambience and service are exceptional.
Hi There, Thank you so much for leaving this great review. We love to make every occasion even more special for you! We can't wait to see you back! Best, Karsen Restaurant Manager
The staff was as good as the food. We arrived and asked the hostess for an outside table, she went to check and in a span of two minutes four different employees stopped and made sure we were being helped. The service was very attentive from start to finish.
Hi Loren, Thank you for visiting Mercat as well as leaving this great review! Making sure you're taken care of is our highest priority. See you next time! Best, Karsen Restaurant Manager
Positives:
- Our server was amazingly courteous & kind.
- Fruit mimosa drink was also amazing.
- Love the fully shaded patio area.
Concerns:
- We didn’t get the food we ordered.
- I got the wrong omelette (ordered the eggs white but got something else) & neither of us got the bacon we ordered.
- There was foil from the Champaign bottle in my drink.
In spite of the hick-ups, we ate all the food we ordered, & had an enjoyable experience.
