We had a fantastic meal. We never felt rushed! Our server was was amazing! Loves the ambience. We recommended it this morning to a couple we met on a hike!
You're told you get 90 minutes to enjoy your meal when you make reservation. Drinks were good, salad came 50 minutes after ordering and was good. Entrees arrived 70 minutes after our arrival. I wondered if we would still have to leave at the 90 minutes mark but was assured we would not. Pasta was excellent, burger was one of the worst things I ever tasted. Burnt and very salty. Fries were barely warm. Perhaps it was sitting around too long in the kitchen. Not sure what happened...read full review

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 features 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. Customers have enjoyed the "be our guest" menu and the November tasting menu, finding the food delicious and the atmosphere great. The service has been courteous and rapid, with staff making efforts even during busy times. Many mention the venue's nice vibe, with dishes like oysters from NL, scallop crudo, blue fin tuna, and fries receiving praise. The wine list includes options like Ruinart Blanc de Blanc champagne, which some find a bit steep but worth the price. Overall, The Merchant Tavern is seen as a perfect spot for a nice, higher-end evening in the city, offering a welcoming ambiance and excellent quality food and drinks.
