"We’ve been to The Merchant twice now, and both times were amazing. Great drinks, great music, and a really good vibe overall. The first time we came with friends and just sat at a table. The second time it was just my wife and me, and we sat at the bar. The staff made me a custom drink, which was awesome. Overall, I’m super impressed with the atmosphere and the style of the place. I also really liked that all the bartenders were in matching uniforms—it definitely shows a professional approach. Just a great spot with a great vibe."

"We went here to try something new for Restaurant Week (RW)... you'd think that they want to really shine so that you would come back when it's not Restaurant Week First, the wings from the regular menu were great! We each ordered some of the RW menu items and shared. The focaccia bread did not impress, the Brussels sprouts were very dry and bland. The carbonara was OK and the steak frites was pretty good. It was not busy when we were seated, but busy when we left. Our second drink order for the table was never received and the waiter forgot to send to the bar...I think poor service from a nice person was the main reason we would not return again."

"Sue was a phenomenal server. Please promote or give a raise. She was incredibly super knowledgeable about the menu, great customer service and friendly. The chicken wings are sweet and savory. The outside texture gives a good crunch. I enjoyed the drinks. However, the scenery is the best. How cool is the outside door and the entrance up to the merchant. It is aesthetically pleasing, beautiful scenery. Not to mention the merchant sliders are juicy, fully of flavor and delicious."

"The duck fat fries hit the spot after a few drinks! The Love Potion No. 126 was sweet and boozy. And it was the first time I've had a cocktail with Boba poppers in it. It was fruity and strong. And the flower was a lovely garnish. 9.6/10 for the Love Potion!"

"The food, vibe, and location were 11/10. The one area that would have made this a 5 star experience was the wait time for food and drinks, it was significant especially for a small plates and cocktail bar. I got the espresso martini and the presentation and flavor were amazing."
