    Love this place. The live plants are a beautiful and healthy addition. The food is great and prices are reasonable. My husband and I stumbled upon this place a week prior for brunch and returned for dinner. It will be our new go to as we go out often. Love everything about it!!

    The food was delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful. There was a lot of kids for a Saturday night which was surprising for such an upscale restaurant. Overall we enjoyed everything and would definitely go back in the future.

    Food was cooked to order. Had 2 vegetarians who needed meat out of order and it was done perfectly. Nicole our server was great. Made the best lattes I’ve had in a while. Yum. And she was very good at making sure the veggie orders were correct. We were 5 and all meals were delicious.

    The food was very good. The burger is a favorite. The metal ceilings increase the noise level on the restaurant. The service was slow and our waters were not refilled automatically. Not the best experience but we will return.

    Outstanding service. Kind of loud (maybe it was just that one table), food is good. I had the stuffed chicken and my husband had the bean burger. The Brussel sprouts were amazing.

    We had a great time with friends at The Merc. Very good menu selections, good food (the mushroom Bolognese was a bit ordinary, the spaetzle served with my psrk schnitzel was very bland, and the chicken soup needed some oomph), good service. Overall, good-very good. The flourless chocolate cake was the big winner for the night, though--it's extraordinary.

    It was my birthday, everything was great. One request, Bloody Mary’s we’re delicious but not cold. The mix needs to be cold not room temp when making the drinks. Took a lot of stirring and extra ice to get the drink cold.
