This is the third time we have dined here. Last night seemed like an off night. I ordered the steak tips and they were very fatty. The last few times they were great. Overall all of our food was not as good as usual. I think there was a big function going on upstairs so maybe that created the inconsistency.

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!
