I took three friends here for lunch. It was their first time at Merchants and they (as did I) enjoyed it very much. Good food and service always!

Generally a good experience as always, just a bit too loud for conversation. Part of that was the volume of conversation, which can't be helped but the music was VERY loud. Unnecessary with how many speakers are situated in the ceiling. Festive ambient music is really nice, but it doesn't need to be louder than the already loud conversations that people are enjoying. Everyone needed to yell at each other to be heard.

Blair and the management team are outstanding. The atmosphere is wonderful. The food is always perfect and I just love the staff.

Amazing evening once again. Our server Bitania was friendly, helpfull and well versed in the menu. The caprese salad with fresh boratta is a must. Look forward to returning.

Amazing staff and ownership! Love the meatballs and good vibes :) definitely recommend!
Didn’t eat this time we just had drinks. Was really quiet on Saturday which is fine. Mostly cougars there and guys like us who don’t know where do go anymore.

Food here is always excellent, both appetizers and main course. The only negative point being that my latte arrived cold and was half foam - on a request for hot & no foam. That was rapidly corrected, thanks to a caring and attentive server. I rarely score anything as 5 star as - let's be honest - there is always room for improvement. I have recommend this establishment to many friends and acquaintances and I will continue to do so. I've not once heard a complaint from any of them! I look forward to my next seating with them. I have yet to find a menu item that isn't top notch in flavour and serving size.

While the food was good, the noise level was uncomfortable. The Blue Jays baseball game was on all screens, and the volume was so high that people had to yell at each other to carry on a conversation. This, in turn, added to the overall noise level. It's baseball. If your patrons cannot understand the game without hearing the inane cliches of the commentators, you probably shouldn't be serving them alcoholic beverages either. Despite the good food, I will not return, and I will give a poor recommendation to anyone who asks.

The food was good excellent and we had a server who was 3 days in! She was excellent! A great time

Located in the heart of Marda Loop. Parking becomes a breeze once you find the ‘special spots’ in the area. Incredible food. A bit of a mature ( and nicely dressed!) crowd on 1/2 price bottles of wine on Wednesday night. Classy bar tenders. A mix and mingle vibe or enjoy a quiet meal with friends, family or business associates. Top notch patio.
