“My dream wedding came to life! I cannot begin to say enough about Merrill’s on the Waterfront! I chose this location for both my ceremony and reception, and it was the best decision I could have made. Victoria walked us through the entire process, patiently answering a million questions and even helping us coordinate a room block for our out-of-town guests. On the big day, Victoria and her team absolutely knocked it out of the park. She exceeded every expectation, bringing my vision to life and executing every detail perfectly. She was on top of everything all night! The wait staff was attentive and efficient, the bartenders were amazing, and the entire night went off without a hitch. Thank you, Merrill’s, for the dream wedding, and a huge thank you to Victoria for your phenomenal work!“

“Thankful that our waitress was very familiar with the menu! I stepped out of my normal shell and decided to try the lobster ravioli - it was AMAZING!!!! Not too rich and the sauce was perfect! I'm not a huge fan of marinara sauce and that's why my hesitation but the creamy sauce was absolutely delightful! Thank you for the wonderful dinner for our large crowd! Staff were all super helpful and friendly!“

“Amazing homemade comforts and value at a place that always makes you feel at home. The chicken broccoli ziti and cream is incredible, along with anything they put their red sauce on. My last experience with the food was a catered event that included salads, meatballs, eggplant parm, lasagna, both breaded and unbreaded chicken parm, and others. Everything was a hit. Inside the restaurant itself has a classic nostalgic vibe and they make you feel like a part of the family with their service. A local favorite any time I'm in the area.“

“I honestly don’t post things like this often, but I feel like I have to.

Today, I truly believe my family and I met an angel.

We had dinner at Mikey B’s in New Bedford, and our server was a young lady named Felicity. I can’t even begin to explain the impact she had on us. In a world where people are always rushing and kindness sometimes feels rare, she was an absolute breath of fresh air.

Her smile, her kindness, her positive energy, and the way she genuinely connected with us made our entire day. What started as a simple meal turned into one of those moments you’ll never forget.

To Felicity’s mom and dad: congratulations. You raised an incredible, respectful, caring, and truly remarkable young woman. You should be incredibly proud.

And to everyone reading this, do yourself a favor. Go grab a meal, enjoy the great food, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Felicity, take a few minutes to have a conversation with her. I promise you’ll leave with a smile on your face and a little more faith in humanity.

God puts people in our path for a reason, and today I’m thankful He put Felicity in ours.

Please share this post. Let’s give this amazing young lady the recognition she deserves. The world needs more people like her, and I’m forever grateful that our paths crossed today. ❤🙏

And one more thing… if you ever get the chance to meet Felicity, let her know the “Big Family” sent you. Trust me, she’ll know exactly what that means. ❤“
