It's National Oyster Day & I'm hooked on The Mercantile's offer of $1 oysters with strawberry mignonette from 4-6, Monday to Thursday, is unbeatable. I also devoured their goat cheese bites, crispy broccoli, & boom boom shrimp, all incredible appetizers. My friends' mac & cheese with buffalo shrimp & lobster fettuccine were insane. To top it off Claire, our waitress, was absolute perfection. Back to the mac & cheese - top tier!
I was excited to finally try this spot. made a reservation for valentines day.
first, we got seated right away and staff was very friendly. our waitress was very attentive and had a great personality. Now, the food...
got the crispy Brussel sprouts as an app which were great. my wife got the fish tacos which seemed closer to cabbage tacos. I got the fried chicken sandwich and I couldn't get past a bite. what they don't mention on the menu is it's chicken thigh. it was tough...read full review
Disappointing experience all the way around. The fish tacos do not have fish it is all cabbage. Avoid this restaurant.

While several guests have noted that the service can vary, some have experienced outstanding service from the waitstaff, such as Xavier, who was attentive and thorough during a large group dining experience. Others, however, mentioned slow bar service and a lack of pre-dinner bread rolls, which left some disappointed.
