What a great set up at this location. It’s so different from the downtown one as you can really enjoy a family celebration here and still hear conversations.
Very spacious with ample seating and open concept.
The food was over the top amazing and we definitely enjoyed this experience at this location. The other location is great for a girls night but for a family or couples night out I would recommend this location!
I forgot to take photos as I was enjoying our celebration too much.

We went to Macarons West for my husband’s birthday dinner, and it was a huge disappointment. Our steaks took over an hour (75 mins!) to arrive, and when they finally did, they were cold inside and so tough that even our kids couldn’t eat them. Other tables received small desserts for their celebrations, but ours didn’t get anything. When I asked why the food was so delayed, the only explanation was that there was a large private group—no real apology or effort to make it right. The service wasn’t friendly, the food was mediocre, and the only thing “fine dining” about this place was the price. We definitely won’t be going back.

I first came to Mercato for dinner. The staff were very friendly and the food was good.
I ordered bruschetta as a starter and ragù pasta from the special menu.
Unfortunately, they brought us the main course in the middle of the starter, so the pasta got cold.

The food was average at best, and the prices were way too high. I’d rather go to Cactus or Earls for a similar meal.

Amazing food. The prices are high but there is a lot of food. Great wait staff, very friendly. Open concept but it makes for a lot of noise. Reservations recommended.

Always a great experience. Food and service excellent as usual. The lower priced option on the pasta dishes involves very generous portions, so don't need to order larger size unless you have a large group. Food is served family style. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a great night at mercato. Server was excellent although only mishap was a missed dish that came out at the end of the meal. Steak (strip loin) was tough and not our favorite. Will have the chicken next time. But everything else we had was 10/10. Cheesecake is top notch. So is the Caesar salad. Thanks for a great night.

The restaurant had a nice vibe and the service was very good. The food was good, however not outstanding and the prices we thought were very high considering. The standout of the meal was the tiramisu, which was excellent!

Fantastic as per usual. There were five of us celebrating two birthdays. Ordered the arancini, bruschetta with tomato and white bean, focaccia with evoo and balsamic, octopus with nduja (our favourite), 3-5 person arrosto misto. All delicious and great portions. Desserts were cannoli, tiramisu and lemon cheesecake, just remember they're all family style as well, so plenty for everyone to share! Will definitely go again soon!

Incredible dining experience! The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD and the service was exceptional!! Highly recommend!

Would definitely come back!
We ended up ordering the daily features and were so happy. Best Arancini I’ve had in a while. Super tasty lamb ragu. Delicious Brussels. Arctic char was good.
Open table shows no availability online ever but the bar seating is first come first serve and angled so you still face into your company.
Service was super friendly and warm. 2.5 hrs for 3 courses was a bit long but the table beside us was in and out in less than 2 hours.
