The Merchant Tavern offers outstanding food and a beautiful ambiance in the old bank building. Recent reviews praise the excellent service and amazing food and drinks. The restaurant provides a fresh seafood platter with steamed lobster, crab, mussels, shrimp salad, oysters, and marinated scallops. The oysters and beef tartare were highlights, while the mussels were average. The scallop ceviche, conchiglie, and other entrees like oysters, lobster spaghetti, steak frites, and salmon were all described as done to perfection. With a big vibe and focus on customer service, The Merchant Tavern is the place to enjoy a nice, higher-end evening in the city. The service was outstanding, flavors deliciously balanced, and ambience welcoming. The food and services were excellent.
