    Visiting Lawrence overnight, and dined at Merchants on a busy Saturday night. Seated right away because we had a reservation. So many options for people with allergy and dietary restrictions. Everything on the menu is very clearly marked! We sampled an appetizer special, the beet and arugula salad (amazing combination of flavors), and the airline chicken. They also have a huge selection of beer and cider. Appreciate how much they source from local farmers. We would definitely check it out again the next time we're in Lawrence.

    Merchants is part of the lively downtown Lawrence scene which makes it a fun place to have dinner. The menu is varied with choices for nearly every discerning diner. We had both salmon and cod and the preparation was excellent, especially the salmon. The salad was excellently and creatively prepared and the homemade dressing served as a nice complement to the variety of greens. Service is always excellent at Merchants and this evening was no exception. The only thing that kept this from being a perfect dining experience was that I was seated under an air conditioning vent and I was extremely uncomfortable throughout the dining experience. Nevertheless, it was a near perfect dining outing and a restaurant that I can highly recommend.

    We tried the father's day brunch and it was good. I am not a big fan of brunch buffets, but my husband was wanting to try it so we did. We would go back.

    Make reservations, or you'll have a wait. They have a varied, not common and tasteful menu. Service is good. Very good bar selection.

    Friend and I celebrated our summer birthdays. Merchants has a fabulous Sunday Brunch. It was a first time for the brunch. Great food and selection at a great price of $15.
