What a great place, in a real "happening" town! Enormous venue, but run very efficiently. Very nice staff, willing to accommodate. Reservations highly recommended. Delicious food, with lots of variety, served quickly. Also, lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options; who knew cauliflower-crust pizza could be made tasty? AMAZING draft beer selection. Easy parking in the underground city lot a block away. Plenty of sports tv's for the fans. Great for both an upbeat youthful crowd and for families. Very reasonable prices (especially compared to Newport or Boston).

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!
