Merchant House Dallas

Great drinks & service... great value for tapas

Valentine’s Day dinner delight.

We had the prefix meal. Start with an Endive salad with raspberry vinaigrette, followed by filet mignon and grilled scallops with risotto. Ending with a s’mores fusion desert.

We will be back!

We went for lunch and we were so impressed! Amazing food! We will be back.

Cocktails were meh, food was good! The tater tot waffle stack with the smoked trout was my favorite. Service was great, and enjoyed the environment.

The happy hour is on point, and the staff is awesome! The staff are attentive and accommodating. The chicken sliders and fries are life giving! This is the perfect place for all occasions. It’s a gem.

We liked it quite a bit. I would have given it more stars but it was incredibly loud. Which seems to be the norm these days. I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen in a long time and we wanted to talk and catch up. The booth was very comfortable, the setting was cool, service was excellent, food was great. We went for brunch and I loved that you could self park. Don't know if thats the case at night. We both just wished the music hadn't been up so loud.

I’m telling you now- go enjoy not having to wait an hour for brunch while you can ! It’s new and I feel like it’s about to get really known. For now it’s pretty chill in there.

The food is excellent and the staff and knowledgeable and amusing. We’ve been here twice and recommend it to family and friends.

First time to the restaurant since opening. Three of us shared 6 small dishes. Food was good and service excellent. Next time we look forward to trying individual "shelfish" plates.

The problem with such a varied menu is that it makes it hard to do anything exceptionally well. Our pork chop special was only so-so. Seemed a little overcooked and the hash was nothing to wow me. The quail was decent. Drinks were not worth the added couple of bucks more than what we normally pay for specialty cocktails in Dallas. Service was friendly, but even the varied menu threw our server off when trying to describe one dish that ended up being a different one. We ordered the devilish eggs as an appetizer but it came after the meal was served. They apologized and said they would comp them so I assume they did. Turns out they weren't that good anyway so luckily they ended up free!! Next time we'll stick to the BBQ place or the Italian place that are both next door. We've been to them several times without any of the disappointment we felt after coming to the Merchant House.

Service was amazing, especially Lacy!!

I knew little about Merchant House prior to our visit, other than noticing the favorable customer reviews on this site. The experience definitely exceeded our expectations and we really enjoyed the tapas, the service and the ambiance. Our waiter was spot from start to finish and the young lady who seated us was about as friendly as the come. If you like comfort food with a twist you will love dining at Merchant House. There's no doubt in our minds we will be making future reservations at this top notch restaurant.

The ambiance, decor and cocktails were great. I would definitely go back for drinks and a few share-able appetizers, even without reservations just hangout on the second floor. However the food was a little overpriced and the concepts were unique but the quality didn’t quite keep up with the stellar decor.

Great service and food.

Bryan made this a great experience for us. My parents had never eaten tapas style, and our table also had a lazy Susan. All in all came together for a great experience!!

Service was extremely friendly. Appreciated the honest recommendations and energy of describing the food. Plus liked the twists on some of the dishes. Not over priced for what you get

Really great food and service!! Lacy always makes it a great experience.

Ok kind of TGIFriday's kind of atmosphere; mediocre food.

Second time there. Huge variety to choose from. Lamb chops, deviled eggs and the crab mac + jack fritters were delicious. Friendly and fun folks work there. I will be back!

We had a birthday celebration, and the food was delicious and fresh!

Good unique selections of food. Nice ambience and greatly decorated.

My first time going and had a wonderful experience!!!

Excellent food service and great atmosphere.

Love this place!!!!

SUCH an incredible place! Absolutely beautiful inside and amazing food! Staff and drinks were great. The menu is unique and delicious!

Such a fun menu! Great to share the “selfless” with a bunch of people!!

Went to Merchant House for Christmas Eve dinner. Was expecting something special. Got just a little above meh.
Service was slooooow. Stuck in a back room all alone. Thought we had been forgotten.
Crab dip and Old Bay chips were pretty good. Lamb lollipops, disappointing, tough with very little meat. Steak was a huge let down. A big slab of fatty, undercooked meat, with blood pooling on top. Bleh! Sent it back and got a different cut. Pretty much the same. Saving grace was the pineapple masa desert. Ugly to look at, tasty in my mouth.
Probably won’t be going back here.

The atmosphere was great! The upstairs bar is an amazing space to have drinks. The food was interesting and creative. Highly recommend!

Fantastic! Creative menu with lots of shareables. Lovely ambience. Great service. The grilled cheese and tomato item is delicious.

Service was bad, nobody was even there, bartender and server couldn't get it together.

As an out of town visitor I came across this venue online to have a group dinner with family and friends. The ambiance was superb (Sunday 5pm reservation), staff friendly and accommodating to a slight change to our reservation (they had our table, for 10 ready, however, upon arriving I learned that only 6 of us were coming). Our waitress, Sara, was attentive and HILARIOUS. I definitely will visit this establishment again.

This was the second time I have dined here. The quail was ok,not great. The back room where I like to sit was freezing cold, the music loud and the diners louder.
I like the menu and the service is very consistent.
