    Even during the chaotic times of corona they served with full friendliness, cheer and gloves. We love the open kitchen design and intimate atmosphere. Variety of seating options, great HH. Can be a bit loud at times both inside but also outside with light rail. Overall the food was delicious and service was great!

    I go here a couple times a year just for the swordfish. The food is excellent. Decor is basic, well-lit, modern. The service is always impeccable. Your glass is never empty. Which can get to be a problem, at $12 a cocktail. So yes it can get spendy. It can also get noisy, but overall we always love coming here.

    I chose the meatloaf, and was not disappointed. The portion was large and the grilled asparagus and glazed carrots were delicious. Would order the meatloaf again the next time I dine here. My wife had the beef stroganof and said it was a winner. I was surprised when a server brought an extra beer to our table. My wife thought it was a mistake until the server informed us that the beer I selected was 2-for-1 until 6 p.m!!!!!! Yet another reason to return to the Mercury.

    We went for Restaurant Week so it was a fixed price dinner. But the food was outstanding as we're the cocktails. I recommend Mercury Dining to all who are willing to venture into the city.
