This was our first time at the Mercantile! Great food - my husband had the fish tacos and I had the burrata salad with shrimp; the shrimp was grilled with a pesto based sauce that was delicious. My husband appreciated that they had NA beer and the Summer Rosé Sangria I had was the perfect drink for a hot summer night. We sat on the second floor near where the bar opens up onto the outdoor patio and it had a great vibe. There was a three piece band and that only added to the ambience. Kathleen, our server, was outstanding!

All the food was excellent. The crispy broccoli app was even better than we'd heard! The cocktails were great, too!

We had an amazing Fathers Day at The Mercantile. We were seated on the outside patio with no waiting. Our server Dominick was fabulous!!! His appetizer & cocktail & dessert recommendations were great!! He made sure my husbands meal was made to his liking. Not too spicy. He was very attentive to our needs & was very pleasant. We definitely will be returning.
