    I was at 220 Merrill years ago. Very disappointed at yesterday's lunch. We sat in the front part. Tables were too close together. The bench upholstery was cracked and dirty. Due to too many tables and lack of soft scaping, the noise level was so bad that my friend and I had to shout at each other to talk. Food was not very good and was over priced. Will not return
