We were staying at the hotel and decided to have dinner at Mercat (the only restaurant in the hotel, by the way). Overall, it was a good experience. The Spanish food was all very highly flavored, which we enjoyed. Our bean salad was pretty cold and would have benefitted from being closer to room temp. Garlic shrimp was delicious, as were the empanadas. We also liked the steak fires, which at $42 was I believe the most expensive thing in the menu. Enough for two as part of a sharing...
First walking in, the host was great! I don't remember his name, but he was GREAT! The server felt too comfortable and not polished. Her service was that of Applebees and I wasn't a fan of it. The food runners were great! The food is really still so good! I could eat that giant bean salad every day! WOW! It's been about 15 years since I've been here and it still hits. Keep it up!
Has been a favorite forever but hadn't gone in years and was so pleased to return and it be the same great quality! Food was amazing and our server was so sweet and attentive. Only disappointment was they were completely out of sangria for a 5:30pm reservation. Food came hot and perfectly paced out and portion sizes were perfect
