Atmosphere - great, very urbane busy but, quiet enough for conversation Server - Paige; delightful and attentive Wine- serving is too generous but, that is reflected in the $14 per glass price Salads- crispy, fresh lettuce & generous serving Pizza- Margarita; disappointing; melted cheese on dough. Where was the basil and where was the sauce? Brownie Sundae-spectacular I’ll be back if the pizza can be made correctly.
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’m a Worcester native but now live in RI. I’m so proud coming back home and seeing all the changes. The mercantile building itself and concept is fabulous however all depends where you sit. We were first flood in the middle which was not the best. I recommend top floors or by the window. Love the key chain that donates to local charities . We came for my frisks birthday and I told the server this - server didn’t even say happy birthday nor was their cake or anything brought...read full review
