The Merchant Tavern offers outstanding food with perfectly seasoned dishes. While some felt the service was lacking, others had a great experience with a fresh seafood platter and helpful server. The seafood platter included steamed lobster, crab, mussels, shrimp salad, oysters, and marinated scallops. The oysters and beef tartare were highlights, while the mussels were average. The restaurant provides an authentic seafood experience for those looking for a special dining experience. Recent reviews praise the excellent service, amazing food and drinks, and beautiful ambiance in the old bank building. 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.
