Cafe Mertens Reviews
Mertens Prime is a beautiful establishment filled with history. It's a gorgeous facility that has 3 different venues and is absolutely perfect for weddings and events. I love that they have a scratch kitchen and that they do a seasonal menu. If you've never been, I suggest you go there.

Cafe Mertens offers a beautiful, old-world atmosphere with outstanding French cuisine and steaks. The service is pleasant and efficient, and the ambiance is a real difference-maker, with a unique, authentic feel. Highlights include the flavorful Cassoulet, amazing Bananas Foster, and the impressive Rooftop for post-dinner drinks.
The restaurant is a gorgeous facility with three different venues, making it perfect for weddings and events. Guests can enjoy a seasonal menu featuring a scratch kitchen, including delicious options like vegetarian truffle flatbread, a delectable cheese board, and the chef's signature butternut squash gnocchi. Desserts are also a highlight, with the in-house made ice cream and the classic Bananas Foster.
The menu caters to a variety of dietary needs, with many vegetarian and vegan options available, such as the mushroom pasta. Guests can also indulge in deep-fried Brussels sprouts and a decadent apple crumble. While some customers have reported ordinary food and poor service, others have praised the Steak bite bowls, Lemon Drops, and Coffee Martinis as standout menu items.
